• Company Overview

Picture Production Company (PPC) is a leading international creative production agency, combining an award-winning creative team with world-class production facilities.

With offices in London and Los Angeles, we deliver high-impact cross-platform campaigns with a commitment to creativity, technical excellence, and meticulous attention to detail — always on brief, on budget, and on schedule.

Role Overview

We are looking for a technically curious and hands-on Junior Cloud Technology Engineer to support PPC’s transition from on-premise infrastructure to cloud-based workflows.

Working within our Technical Operations Team and alongside external technology partners, you will support migration projects across post-production, storage, remote workflows, core IT, identity management and networking.

You will help coordinate projects, test workflows, document decisions and support successful rollouts.

This project-focused role would suit a recent computer science graduate or someone with experience in media or post-production technology.

You do not need to be an expert, we are looking for someone who is organised, proactive, eager to learn and willing to get hands-on.

Your attitude will be your strongest attribute.

This is not a traditional IT service desk role.

It is a project-focused position supporting the development and implementation of PPC’s future technology infrastructure and workflows.

Your attitude will be your strongest attribute.

• Main Responsibilities
• Support cloud migration and technology implementation projects across post-production, storage, remote workflows, core IT, identity management and networking.
• Assist with the coordination of proof-of-concept, testing and implementation projects, ensuring actions and decisions are clearly recorded.
• Work with internal stakeholders and external vendors to keep project activities progressing against agreed priorities and timelines.
• Test new systems, platforms and workflows, documenting results and escalating issues where appropriate.
• Produce and maintain clear technical documentation, including workflow diagrams, test plans, implementation notes and operating procedures.
• Support the rollout of new technologies and workflows across the business.
• Help gather technical and operational requirements from teams across PPC.
• Assist with the investigation and resolution of issues identified during testing and implementation.
• Track project actions, dependencies, risks and outstanding decisions.
• Support the evaluation of cloud platforms, storage solutions, file-transfer systems and remote-working technologies.
• Help ensure that security, identity management and access-control requirements are considered throughout project delivery.
• Develop an understanding of PPC’s creative, post-production and operational workflows.
• Build effective working relationships across technical, creative, production and operational teams.
• Take ownership of assigned tasks and proactively seek the information needed to complete them.
• Keep up to date with developments in cloud technology, media workflows and post-production infrastructure.
• Contribute ideas and identify opportunities to improve systems, processes and ways of working.

Skills and Experience

• A degree, qualification or equivalent practical experience in computer science, information technology, media technology or a related discipline.
• Some experience working or studying within a technology-focused environment.
• A basic understanding of cloud technology, ideally involving AWS, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud Platform.
• Familiarity with one or more operating systems, including Windows, mac OS or Linux.
• Basic scripting or programming knowledge, ideally using Python.
• An understanding of networking fundamentals across on-premise, hybrid and cloud environments.
• Some knowledge of identity and access management, ideally including Microsoft Active Directory or Microsoft Entra ID.
• Familiarity with storage, file-transfer and remote-access technologies.
• An interest in media technology, post-production systems and creative workflows.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical information clearly.
• Good documentation skills and a structured approach to recording actions, decisions and test results.
• Strong organisational skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities and maintain attention to detail.
• A proactive approach and willingness to take ownership rather than wait to be directed through every step.
• An ability to connect people, systems and processes while maintaining sight of the wider objective.
• A pragmatic, collaborative and delivery-focused approach.
• A willingness to learn, experiment and work hands-on with unfamiliar technologies.
• An interest in film, television, entertainment marketing or the wider creative industries would be advantageous.

The duties and responsibilities outlined in this job description provide a general overview of the role and its requirements.

However, it is important to note that these responsibilities are not exhaustive and may be subject to change based on the evolving needs of the organisation.
