Post Production Manager (Short-Form Video)

Apply at brandsharks.com/apply-ppm

Role

Do you cringe at a typo in captions, a jump cut half a beat too late, or an edit that ignores the brief… and feel genuinely proud when a video goes out flawless on social? If so, we want to know you!

As a Post Production Manager at Brand Sharks, you’ll lead our editing team (currently ~10 editors) and own the journey from “raw footage + brief” to “finished, client-ready video.”

You’ll:

• Review videos for quality and SOP compliance
• Keep editors on track
• Coach them to higher standards
• Make sure everything ships on time
• And report directly to the founder.

Your mission: make the editing machine run smoothly without needing the founder in the weeds.

This role oversees ~20 clients and ~500 short‑form videos per month across a global team of 10+ editors. It’s fast‑paced, detail‑heavy, and you will live inside ClickUp, Frame.io, and Slack. If that volume and responsibility excites you, you’ll love it here. If it feels overwhelming or “too much,” this won’t be a fit.

Responsibilities

Quality Control & Standards

• Review edited videos to ensure they follow briefs, SOPs, brand guidelines, and platform best practices
• Catch and prevent obvious errors before anything reaches clients (spelling, wrong assets, bad crops, pacing issues, etc.)
• Maintain and continuously improve client / global editing checklists and SOPs

Team Management & Leadership

• Manage a team of ~10 committed, driven editors
• Run weekly 1:1s with editors to review performance, unblock issues, and keep them on track
• Give clear, constructive feedback and coach editors up to Brand Sharks standards
• Be the primary day-to-day point of contact for editors
• Collaborate with strategy/script teams so editors have what they need to execute

Throughput & Debottlenecking

• Monitor workloads, deadlines, and capacity; reassign work as needed to hit timelines
• Work closely with the founder and ops to plan editor capacity for upcoming shoots and campaigns
• Surface recurring bottlenecks and propose process fixes instead of just firefighting

Light Production Support (Not Required, but Nice-to-Have)

• Jump in for light edits or tweaks during crunch times

Requirements

• Meaningful experience working in video post-production, ideally with strong short-form experience (Reels, Shorts, TikTok)
• You’ve managed or led a team of editors before (at least 3+ people), not just edited alone.
• Strong eye for quality, detail, and brand alignment; you naturally spot mistakes and inconsistencies
• Able to give clear, actionable feedback that editors respect and can implement
• Fluent, confident English: You communicate clearly and concisely, can lead meetings, give direct feedback, and be understood the first time
• Comfortable on Zoom if needed for client calls
• Able to overlap most hours 9am–5pm MST (Mountain Time)

Bonus Points If

• You’ve run editing teams in an agency, production house, or creator-focused shop
• You’ve helped build or refine SOPs/checklists for editing teams
• You create social media content for yourself

Results You Own

• ≥ 95% of agreed editor deadlines hit each week (or renegotiated 24+ hours in advance).
• ≥ 95% client approval rate on first‑pass scripted videos over a rolling 60‑day window.
• Founder reviews ≤ 10 videos per week (you own the rest).
• Near‑zero client‑visible errors (typos, wrong assets, off‑brand colors, wrong direction on inspo, etc).
• Editors are clear, supported, and accountable (issues are solved at your level, not escalated to the founder).

Our Core Values at Brand Sharks

We hire and reward by a small set of behaviors, not slogans:

• Sign Your Name: You genuinely care about the work. If you wouldn’t sign your name to it, it doesn’t ship. You own outcomes and fix what’s off, even if no one else would notice.
• Grow or Die: You’re always sharpening your craft, asking for feedback, and closing your own skill gaps without being pushed.
• Janitor = CEO: No divas. You treat everyone with respect, jump into “unsexy” tasks when the team needs it, own your mistakes, and give credit freely.
• Customer Obsessed: You see the work through the client’s eyes and take pride in being “the last agency they ever need.”
• Figure It Out: You don’t need babysitting. You hunt for answers, try multiple solutions before escalating, and bring problems only with proposed fixes.

If you read these and think, “That’s already how I operate,” you’ll fit in here, and we’d love to meet you.
