Cabin is an established post production home built on collaboration and dedication to the craft.

Additional qualities include strong organizational and planning skills, close attention to detail, a proactive and collaborative approach, and the ability to remain positive and adaptable as project needs evolve. Working hours may vary by project, so flexibility and the ability to work independently are essential.

This position requires a minimum of three years of post-production producing experience in a commercial environment.

• Putting together a cohesive job plan for the editor and assistant from award emails.
• Coordinating dailies and drive deliveries with production and vault.
• Liaison with production’s line producer and director’s EP to ensure Editor and Director have been connected.
• Outreach to third party vendors to schedule and book color, VFX, and mix.
• Oversee travel for internal teams with the Client Services team.
• Oversee approval of hours for project freelancers and tracking of hours for duration of project.
• Invoicing/Billing to agencies and vendors.
• Submission of end of project actuals.
• Provide end of day project updates to relevant parties based on job requirements.
• Provide wrap notes to the finance department.
• Responsible for retrieving and distributing final masters internally and to third party vendors.
• Ensuring projects are correctly archived (including retrieval of masters, generic masters, mixes and splits for archiving) in conjunction with the Vault team after wrap.

WHAT YOU BRING:

The Producer will bring previous experience with post-production workflows, softwares and technologies. The ideal candidate will also bring the following:

• Basic understanding of post-production workflows, softwares, and technologies.
• Be adaptable for in-person and remote clientele.
• Ability to work independently and collaborate effectively in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to effectively organize post-production projects.
• Ability to develop personal rapport and form strong client relationships.
• Have great interpersonal skills, be meticulous, always organized and work calmly and professionally especially during high pressure situations.
