About The Position

RUN Studios and its client partner, a large online retailer headquartered in Seattle, are seeking a Production & Post-Production Manager for an 11-month project beginning in January 2027. The role combines post-production supervision with hands-on producing for live-action and animation projects.

Responsibilities

• Ensure creative briefs, storyboards, shot lists, and scripts reflect brand tone, visual identity, and messaging goals.
• Verify that on-set filming choices—including lighting, framing, color, and set design—meet brand standards, and review raw footage in real time to flag issues.
• Maintain brand consistency across live-action and animation deliverables.

• Coordinate production requirements from pre-production through post-production, including shot lists, production schedules, wardrobe, props, and set design.
• Ensure set and wardrobe elements, including mounting, painting, alterations, and pressing, are completed before production and camera-ready for scheduled film days.
• Support set construction, including painting, furniture assembly, and prop staging, to meet production timelines and creative specifications.
• Manage logistics and coordination for contracted external vendors and third-party resources.
• Establish quality-control checkpoints to prevent errors and maintain consistency across deliverables.
• Manage the post-production schedule and track daily status updates.
• Prepare post-production handoff materials for the design and project management team, including external drives, assets, and notes.
• Implement and maintain organized, searchable media-storage systems.
• Review and update scripts for accuracy and brand alignment.
• Oversee animation creation for artistic quality, quality-control all videos, and ensure deadlines are met.
• Review all versions and final deliverables.
• Stay current on animation techniques and technology.
• Ensure deliverables are on-message, meet brand guidelines, and are archived correctly.
• Manage production schedules to deliver work on time, on budget, and on strategy.
