  • Escalate complex issues appropriately and manage them through to resolution.
Essential Experience
  • At least three years’ experience in post-production support, media engineering, studio or network support, or process management within a post-production vendor.
  • Strong understanding of content creation, on-set production and post-production processes.
  • Experience supporting editorial or media production environments.
  • Knowledge of dailies, media ingest, VFX pulls, conform processes and review and approval workflows.
  • Experience troubleshooting complex media, file-transfer or production technology issues.
  • Strong stakeholder communication and client-service skills.
  • Ability to work independently and make decisions in high-pressure environments.
  • Strong organisational, prioritisation and incident-management skills.
  • Willingness to support productions outside standard office hours when required.
