• NUSA STUDIOS is a social-first content studio. We’re an agile team of 16 in-house creatives, producers, shooters and editors. We combine scalable creative ideas with an agile production approach.
• Founded during the pandemic, we’ve created thumb-stopping content campaigns for some of the world's most recognised brands including Ford, Casio & American Express, as well as a few of the hottest startups such as Surreal, Estrid & Lucky Saint.

The Role:

This is a senior position within our post-production team. You’ll be responsible for owning projects end-to-end, with a key focus on elevating our colour grading output, mentoring junior editors, and collaborating with directors, producers and creatives to ensure visual storytelling hits the highest standard across all deliverables.

Responsibilities:

• Lead the post-production of commercial and branded content, especially social-first video for platforms like TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Meta.
• Own the colour pipeline for the studio, setting and maintaining high grading standards across projects using DaVinci Resolve.
• Perform advanced colour correction and creative grading with a deep understanding of tone, mood and brand visual identity.
• Take the lead on larger-scale edits, from offline through to polished final delivery - delivering not just technically sound edits, but visually compelling ones.
• Collaborate closely with Directors, DOPs, Creative Leads and Producers to interpret briefs and translate them into world-class content.
• Maintain clear and consistent post workflows, naming conventions, archiving and project organisation.
• Provide mentorship, feedback and quality control support to our team of midweight and junior editors.
• Contribute motion design, animation and visual effects elements where needed to enhance the visual storytelling.
• Stay ahead of platform trends, post-production techniques and AI tools that can improve workflow and elevate quality.
• Ensure all deliverables are adapted for the appropriate platform and aspect ratio, with consideration for best-in-class user experience on each.
• Manage multiple timelines and oversee the delivery of edits to tight schedules without compromising quality.

• Expert-level proficiency in DaVinci Resolve, especially the Colour and Fairlight pages.
• Strong eye for cinematic colour, composition, contrast and skin tones — you know how to bring footage to life.
• Proficiency in Adobe After Effects and familiarity with Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro).
• A natural visual storyteller, with a keen sense of pacing, sound design, rhythm and emotional tone.
• Strong communication skills — you're confident in articulating creative decisions and giving/receiving feedback.
• Up to date with current video editing, motion graphics and grading trends.
• Experience working with AI-enhanced editing tools (e.g. Firefly, ChatGPT, Generative Fill, etc.) to streamline and supercharge the edit process.
• Comfortable taking ownership of projects, while also being a collaborative team player.
• Bonus: Experience building LUTs, working with RAW formats, or developing colour pipelines for studios.
• Bonus: Experience assisting on shoots to inform edit decisions and grading approach.
