Senior Post Producer - The Maker's Lab

the community, started with one goal in mind: creating a different type of company that creates a different type of advertising. Never abiding by traditional definitions of how an agency works, we’ve never been traditional in our approach to ideas, brands, culture, nor the kind of people who join our community. We are not a multicultural agency. We’re a global agency made of diverse backgrounds, with one unifying mission: to create culturally-potent ideas for a multi-everything world. 

The Makers Lab Studio, sister company to the community,  is seeking a motivated, versatile and detail-oriented Senior Post Producer. We are looking for someone with the talent and the personality to integrate quickly and seamlessly with our post team; someone who enjoys creatively working and collaborating directly with clients. This role will begin working remote from the comfort of your own home (in the US) and can remain remote within the US or end up in our Miami production studio for a hybrid work environment when the world returns to normal (or some version of it).  

The ideal candidate should be an expert with the standard post production workflow for broadcast advertising and needs to be comfortable working in a fast paced and sometimes high-pressured environment. You will be managing projects from beginning-to-end in our multi-room/multi-function post production studio.

In addition, some intermediate/advanced level experience and an adept skill set for quickly learning a new production management and/or bookkeeping software is a must (such as ActualizeIt).

The Senior Post Producer needs to have knowledge or experience using industry standard post software such as: Adobe Premiere, AVID, Final Cut, Adobe After Effects, Cinema 4D, Maya, Pro Tools, Resolve, etc. or hands on session experience coordinating post artists who use these tools every day.
