About the role

Roundglass Creative Studio is looking for a detail-oriented Associate with a strong interest in non-fiction storytelling, a grounding in documentary research and production processes, and the ability to work confidently in fast-paced, real-world environments.

The ideal candidate will work closely with the Creative Lead and support the development and production of films across the Studio. The role involves coordinating with internal teams, programme teams, community members, contributors, and external production crews through every stage of the filmmaking process from story discovery, research and validation to pre-production, field shoots, post-production, and final delivery.

We are looking for someone who understands that a strong documentary film begins long before the camera starts rolling. It requires curiosity, thorough research, careful validation, an understanding of context, and detailed preparation. It means finding the layers within a story - understanding not only what happened, but why it matters, whose perspective needs to be represented, and what will make the story meaningful to an audience.

The role requires someone who is comfortable going across Punjab, comfortable meeting people and communities, listening closely, and asking the right questions. The candidate should be able to observe and identify the impact of different programmes and help translate that into strong, research-backed pre-production material.

The Associate will help ensure that research, contributors, production requirements, references, footage, feedback, and post-production workflows are organized and followed through carefully.
