The Company 3 Philosophy: Creativity Through Diversity
At Company 3, we believe that every pixel tells a story. Our artists combine state‑of‑the‑art technology with world‑class creativity to shape the content that moves global audiences. We understand that the most innovative ideas come from a diverse workforce. We are dedicated to fostering an equitable culture where every employee—regardless of background—feels safe and empowered to bring their authentic self to work.
Comprehensive Scope of Responsibilities
This role requires a unique dual‑focus. You must be comfortable troubleshooting a calibrated 4K monitor one moment and managing a complex client delivery schedule the next.
1. Facility Operations & Engineering Liaison
The London facility at Chancery Lane is a high‑tech ecosystem. Your operational duties include:
- Facility Synergy: Oversee the day‑to‑day functionality of the facility, ensuring that grading suites and sound stages are operational and prepared for high‑profile client arrivals.
- Resource Management: Manage studio hardware resources, including the setup and movement of technical equipment like grading surfaces, reference monitors, and localized storage arrays.
- Technical Quality Control: Assist the Operations Manager with essential maintenance tasks, such as display calibrations and software updates, to ensure that our technical standards remain the industry benchmark.
- Issue Triage: Act as the first line of defense for technical problems, monitoring and tracking issues before triaging them to the Engineering team for resolution.
2. Remote Session Coordination
In an increasingly remote world, Company 3 leads the way in virtual collaboration.
- Setup and Testing: You will be responsible for the end‑to‑end coordination of remote sessions. This includes testing connectivity and preparing streaming pipelines for clients viewing from Los Angeles, New York, or anywhere in the world.
- Remote Tools: Utilize and troubleshoot specialized streaming tools such as Sohonet Pivot and Colorfront Streaming to provide a low‑latency, color‑accurate experience.
- Resource Booking: Ensure that the correct technical assets (calibrated monitors and panels) are secured for every remote review session.
3. Production Coordination & Client Relations
As a Production Coordinator within this role, you will be the organizational heartbeat of specific projects.
- Workflow Management: Maintain a deep understanding of the lifecycle of episodic and feature film post‑production. You will track assets from the moment they arrive to final delivery.
- Communication Hub: Work closely with the local production team and our global sister facilities to ensure that information is communicated accurately across time zones.
- Stakeholder Management: Serve as a key point of contact for external production companies, providing updates on project status and addressing logistical concerns with a diplomatic touch.
- Resource Scheduling: Help ensure that artists and suites are utilized efficiently, balancing the high‑pressure demands of multiple concurrent “High‑End” projects.
Candidate Requirements: Skills & Experience
We are looking for a hybrid talent—someone who loves the technical “how‑it‑works” of post‑production just as much as the “get‑it‑done” of project management.
Industry Knowledge & Experience
- Proven Track Record: Previous experience working in a fast‑paced, high‑pressure post‑production environment is non‑negotiable.
- Workflow Fluency: You must possess a strong understanding of modern episodic and feature film pipelines, including an awareness of color spaces, frame rates, and delivery specs.
- Academic/Professional Background: While a degree in Film or Media is beneficial, we value practical experience and technical aptitude above all.
- Streaming Tech: Hands‑on familiarity with remote connectivity tools like Sohonet Pivot and Colorfront.
- Post‑Production Software: Basic knowledge of DaVinci Resolve and Baselight systems. You don’t need to be a senior colorist, but you must know how to navigate the UI to troubleshoot basic session errors.
- Aptitude: A “solid technical aptitude” means you aren’t afraid of a Linux terminal, a patch bay, or a complex signal chain.
Interpersonal & Adaptive Skills
- Multitasking: You must be highly detail‑oriented. In this role, you will be managing a dozen tasks simultaneously, and none of them can be dropped.
- Diplomacy: You will work with highly creative individuals and demanding clients. A calm, composed, and diplomatic approach is essential for maintaining a positive studio environment.
- Proactivity: Don’t wait for things to break. We need a creative problem‑solver who anticipates issues and devises solutions before the client notices.
- Team Mindset: Company 3 is a global team. A collaborative, positive, and “can‑do” attitude is vital to our success.
Hours of Work & Onsite Commitment
This is an onsite, shift‑based role located at Chancery Lane.
- Standard Hours: 40 hours per week.
- Flexibility: Because we serve international clients, a flexible approach to working hours is a core requirement. This role includes regular evening shifts and occasional weekend work to align with global production schedules.
