Post Production Specialist (Hybrid)

Our client is looking for a Post Production Specialist to support creative and production teams throughout the post-production process. This role partners closely with producers, editors, and asset management teams to maintain efficient workflows, ensure media is well-organized, and elevate the quality of video content across a variety of projects.

The ideal candidate brings a strong editorial eye, thrives in fast-paced environments, and enjoys both the creative and operational aspects of post-production.

Must be willing to come to the client's office 1-3 days per week in downtown Chicago. This role will start part-time (20 ± hr/week) but will ramp up to 40 hrs/week in an ongoing capacity.
