Job description

The Role

LSKR is seeking a Head of Post-Production to lead the craft, quality, and finishing of our creative work, with a focus on high-end product advertising, television commercials, digital campaigns, and branded content.

This is a hands on creative role combining concept development, scripting, storyboarding, and advanced video editing with responsibility for reviewing finished work before delivery.

Working under LSKR’s Chief Creative Officer, you will serve as the central creative quality checkpoint for the team. You will review work, give clear and actionable feedback, and ensure final assets meet LSKR’s standards for storytelling, visual execution, accuracy, and polish.

You should be as comfortable shaping a script or building a storyboard as you are working through an edit, refining pacing, or identifying the final details that make a piece ready to release. You will help the team strengthen its work through thoughtful creative direction and hands on execution.

You will also contribute to new‑business pitches by developing concepts, treatments, storyboards, and presentation materials that help prospective clients understand the creative vision.

• Translate client briefs and business goals into clear, compelling creative concepts
• Write and refine scripts for product ads, television spots, digital campaigns, and branded content

• Make creative choices that fit the budget, timeline, and distribution channel

Edit & Oversee Post-Production

• Personally edit video work and provide clear direction to other editors and post-production partners when relevant.
• Shape story, pacing, performance, sound, and visual detail to strengthen the finished piece
• Complete motion graphics, color, sound design, mixing, and finishing
• Maintain quality and consistency across versions, cutdowns, and formats

Pitch New Clients & Grow the Work

• Partner with LSKR leadership to develop creative approaches for prospective clients
• Build pitch decks, treatments, and presentations that connect the idea to the client’s business needs
• Present concepts confidently and explain the thinking behind creative and production decisions

What Success Looks Like

• LSKR consistently delivers polished, effective creative that reflects each client’s brand and goals
• Projects move from brief to final delivery with clear ownership, realistic plans, and strong execution
• The full LSKR creative team understands the direction, receives useful feedback, and produces stronger work over time
• Clients feel understood and confident in both the creative and the production process
• Pitches make LSKR’s ideas tangible and help turn prospective clients into lasting relationships

About LSKR

LSKR is a team of creative problem solvers from across the country, each bringing a different perspective, background and way of seeing the world. We are strategists, writers, editors, designers and filmmakers with a long track record of solving high-stakes communications challenges and delivering for our clients.

We believe most people are disrupted enough in their everyday lives. For a brand or organization to truly cut through, it has to create a real connection.

We think from first principles and stay focused on the business outcome. Much of the creative industry has become distracted by attention, awards and vanity metrics that do not necessarily translate into results. We care about work that earns trust, moves people and helps our clients achieve their goals.

We connect companies with the people who matter when it matters most. We are The Connection Company.
