Video Production Manager (Post-Production Focus)

We’re looking for a highly independent, detail-oriented Video Production Manager to take charge of our post-production process , ensuring the delivery of high-quality, engaging educational videos to our ever-growing audience. You’ll be managing a global team of video and animation editors , overseeing multiple projects at once, and driving content that captivates millions of viewers. If you have a deep knowledge of video editing and are an experienced people manager with an unwavering passion for social media, then this is an ideal role for you.

Our tight-knit team of production managers works in an inspiring WeWork office space , just a short walk from Old Street Station, offering the perfect environment for creativity, growth and social events. 

The Role

As a Video Production Manager , your focus will be on post-production management . You should have a solid understanding of the video editing process and be confident in directing and overseeing a remote team of editors , providing creative direction and maintaining quality control across multiple projects.

This is a fast-paced, high-impact role where you will have significant creative influence —more than in a traditional Production Manager role. While you'll be leading the post-production team, this is an independent position best suited to someone who prefers to manage and refine content rather than be involved in the whole production process .

To qualify… You should be a Creative Production Manager / Production Lead / Creative Lead / Lead Video Editor / Video Editor / Video Producer / Creative Editor / Post Production Specialist

To thrive in this role, you should have:

·   Basic knowledge of video editing software (Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, Avid, After Effects)

·   A strong track record of success in video production or post-production

·   Experience managing remote, diverse teams

·   Excellent organizational skills with strong attention to detail

·   A dynamic, adaptable mindset with the ability to work under pressure

·   Outstanding communication skills (both written and spoken)

·   A solid understanding of enthusiasm for YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram .

·   A passion for learning and staying ahead in the digital media space

·   A team-player attitude with a drive to create viral-worthy content

What We Offer

·   A competitive salary of £25,000-£30,000 (plus uncapped performance-related bonuses )

·   Mentorship from one of the most successful viral content creators in the world

·   The opportunity to make a serious impact from day one —your work will be viewed millions of times every day

·   28 days of holiday leave

·   A social, dog-friendly office near Silicon Roundabout, with free coffee/tea and networking events

·   5 days per week, 9am-6pm, with huge *uncapped* performance-related bonuses (unheard-of at traditional organizations)

If you’re an experienced post-production manager looking for a highly independent role where you can shape content at a global scale, this is the opportunity for you!
