You’ll become the primary creative partner for one of the company's largest clients, leading projects from post-production through final delivery while serving as the day-to-day point of contact.

• Create motion graphics, title sequences, and graphic elements that enhance storytelling.
• Manage multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining quality and meeting deadlines.
• Collaborate closely with producers, directors, cinematographers, designers, and other creative team members.
• Help maintain smooth project workflows and deliver an outstanding client experience.
• Represent the company professionally in every client interaction.

What We’re Looking For

• Previous experience presenting work directly to clients and leading client conversations.
• Excellent written communication skills, including handling client emails and project correspondence.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities.

• Experience with documentary, testimonial, branded, or corporate content.
• Familiarity with Frame.io and collaborative review workflows.
• Basic color correction and audio finishing skills.
• Experience contributing to creative concepts or treatment development.
