Post Producer (Commercials Film Television VFX)
Location: Burbank, CA (In-Person)
Employment Type: Full-Time
Compensation: 60k + Comprehensive Benefits
About Us
We are a full-service creative production company specializing in commercials, branded content, feature films, television, music videos, virtual production, visual effects, and high-end post-production. We partner with agencies, brands, studios, and filmmakers to create premium creative work while maintaining an exceptional level of client service and execution.
We’re looking for an experienced Post Producer who can confidently own every aspect of post-production—from the initial client conversation and project bid through editorial, VFX, finishing, delivery, and final project wrap.
This is not a coordinator role. We’re looking for someone who can independently lead projects, build trust with clients, manage artists and vendors, oversee budgets and schedules, solve problems proactively, and successfully run multiple productions simultaneously.
If you’re passionate about post-production, thrive in fast-paced creative environments, and love building systems that keep projects running smoothly, we’d love to meet you.

- Excellent communication, leadership, and organizational skills.
- Outstanding attention to detail.
- Ability to remain calm under pressure while managing shifting priorities.
- Strong problem-solving abilities and a proactive mindset.
- Comfortable communicating directly with agency, studio, and brand clients.
