Job description

• Most of our 2026 films needed a post producer, and the work has been carried by one or two people
• Post is where films slip quietly. We want one person who owns it on every film

THE JOB IN ONE LINE

• You take each film from the last shoot day to the final masters, on time and to the director's standard

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

The post schedule

• Build the post plan before the shoot: offline, CG, grade, online, sound, deliveries
• Keep it current every day and flag any date at risk the day you see it

The studios and artists

• Book and brief the editor, colourist, online artist, CG studio, music composer and sound studio
• Hold them to the schedule and the budget

Feedback rounds

• Log every round of agency and client feedback the day it arrives
• Turn it into clear notes for each artist, and track every change until it's approved

Quality control

• Check every output against the brief, the script, the legal supers and the brand guidelines before it leaves
• Catch the spelling, the logo version and the sound level before the client does

Deliveries

• Deliver every cut-down, aspect ratio, language version and format the media plan needs, named and archived properly
• Keep the project archive clean, so any film can be reopened a year later

HOW WE WORK

• Chase the last 5%. We only hire people who pursue excellence. Most work stops at good enough. The last 5%, the detail nobody asked for, is where our films are made
• Move first. Start before you feel ready. A rough version today beats a perfect one next week
• Lead with the answer. Be clear, give the context, then say what you need
• Update before anyone asks. "Done", "doing it by [date]" or "stuck, here's my suggestion" are all fine. Silence never is
• Plan for the obstacle. If X goes wrong, then Y, decided in advance
• Show the number, not the story. Results over effort
• Raise the hard thing early. Flag the risk on the day you see it

THIS ROLE IS FOR YOU IF YOU

• Have run post on ad films with several vendors at once
• Know editing, grading, online and sound well enough to brief them precisely
• Love a clean tracker
• Stay calm on the night before a release

THIS ROLE IS NOT FOR YOU IF YOU

• Wait for the agency to chase you for a version
• Approve an output you haven't watched end to end
• Leave the archive for someone else

HOW WE'LL MEASURE YOU

• Final masters delivered on the agreed date
• Post spend against the post budget
• Feedback rounds logged on the day they arrive: every one

WHAT YOU GET

• A hot seat. We're setting up our processes right now, so your work shapes how they turn out
• A real view of how a production company runs, from brief to delivery
• You learn from the best in our system, and you help build it
• A house with more than 150 international creative awards, Cannes Lions among them

THE DETAILS

• Freelance. Paid per project or on a monthly retainer, agreed in writing before you start
• Starts immediately, on live films
• Mumbai, at our office in Andheri West and at the studios we work with
