• Work closely with Gramercy Park Studios and the broader UK studio operation to coordinate the right talent, capabilities and workflows across projects of varying scale and complexity.
• Take confident ownership of post‑production budgets, estimates, reconciliations and financial tracking, ensuring transparency, control and commercial discipline at every stage.
• Identify risks early and proactively solve issues relating to timing, scope, feedback, resource allocation, technical requirements and delivery dependencies.
• Manage review and approval processes with precision, ensuring feedback is clearly captured, prioritised and actioned across internal teams and external partners.
• Support the delivery of projects involving VFX, CGI and AI‑enabled workflows, with a strong understanding of the additional planning, technical coordination and quality control required.
• Build trusted relationships with editors, colourists, designers, animators, VFX artists, CG teams, finishing artists, producers and creative leads, creating an environment where teams can do their best work.
• Contribute to the continued evolution of WPP Production’s post‑production offering by bringing a solutions‑oriented mindset, strong market awareness and a commitment to modern, scalable production practices.

• Significant experience in post‑production producing within a leading post house, agency production environment, studio operation or production business.
• Deep knowledge of end‑to‑end post‑production workflows, including editorial, colour, sound, motion graphics, VFX, CGI, AI, online, finishing, delivery and versioning.
• Proven ability to manage multiple complex projects simultaneously, balancing creative ambition with operational discipline and commercial awareness.
• Strong experience building schedules, scopes of work, staffing plans and budgets across post‑production projects of varying scale and complexity.
• A confident understanding of how to manage projects involving VFX, CGI and emerging AI‑enabled production workflows.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to build trust and maintain clarity across creative, technical, commercial and client‑facing teams.
• Strong organisational skills, attention to detail and calm problem‑solving ability in fast‑paced, deadline‑driven environments.
