Edit Assistant

We have a rare and exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic edit assistant to join our highly skilled small team working within our Post Production facility in our London office. You'll be at the forefront of in-house projects and have an opportunity to take the lead in driving these forward and delivering the highest possible standards in project management. You will receive full training as the role progresses and undertake various Post Production duties which include data wrangling, AMA/transcoding, exporting files and creating viewing links. You will ideally have a good working knowledge of file-based workflows from different camera formats and due to this being a compact operation you'll be exposed to many aspects of the workflow involved and become a key member of the team delivering support to the edit suites and productions alike.

The ideal candidate will preferably have experience of working in a similar role and have a reasonable working knowledge of Avid version 2018. You will be professional and approachable, be able to work well individually as well as having excellent team working skills in a challenging but rewarding environment.

Crucially you need to have a can do attitude with strong attention to detail and the desire to progress and become an accomplished team player. So as you can see personal attributes are a big part of what we're looking for, so if you think this is for you and you have the drive to climb the post production ladder then please get in touch.
