This is a senior production role for someone with deep expertise in the end-to-end post production process - from editorial, grading and audio through to VFX, CGI, motion, finishing and delivery.

The ideal candidate will bring strong experience from a leading post house, integrated production environment or agency production operation. You will be equally comfortable managing premium craft-led projects, navigating fast-moving stakeholder environments, solving complex resourcing and delivery challenges, and partnering closely with creatives, editors, artists, producers and clients to bring ambitious ideas to life.

You will play a critical role in connecting creative ambition with operational excellence - helping teams produce outstanding work while maintaining clarity, control and confidence throughout the process.

Key Responsibilities:

• Build and manage detailed post production schedules, workflows, scopes and resourcing plans across editorial, design, motion, VFX, CGI, AI, grading, audio, finishing and versioning.
• Partner closely with creative, production and studio teams to define the most effective post production approach for each project, balancing craft excellence, efficiency and commercial requirements.
• Act as a key point of contact for internal stakeholders, agency teams, clients and specialist post production talent, maintaining clear communication throughout the lifecycle of each project.
• 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.

Qualifications:

• 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.
• Experience working closely with senior creatives, directors, editors, artists, producers and clients to deliver high-quality work across multiple channels.
• A strong grasp of technical delivery requirements, file formats, workflows and quality control standards within modern post production environments.
• Commercially astute, with the ability to manage budgets responsibly, support scoping conversations and contribute to efficient, profitable delivery.
• A collaborative and solutions-focused mindset, with the confidence to make decisions, challenge constructively and keep projects moving.

Desirable:

• Experience working across both boutique craft-led studio environments and scaled production networks.
• Knowledge of virtual production, real-time pipelines or advanced CGI workflows.
• Familiarity with AI tools and their application within content creation, post production and asset adaptation workflows.
• Experience supporting work for global brands across integrated campaigns, content systems and multi-market delivery.
• An established network of freelance and specialist post production talent.
