Post Production Generalist

Job Title: Post Production Generalist & Content Creator
Location: Melbourne (Prahran)
Term: Full Time (4 day weeks)
Reports To: Post Producer

**Salary**: 60k-80k

About Us:
Pixel is an award winning Melbourne-based production company that creates commercials for brands.

After 18 years of operating in traditional advertising, we’re now working with our clients and mates to rethink how ads are made. Our mission is to reclaim the wasteful and stressful parts of making commercials, and put all that time, effort and money back towards what really matters The literal ad.

We’re looking for someone full of beans, hopes and dreams to come make some fun commercials with us (and also be a part of reshaping the whole industry to be more creative and more effective).

What’s on Offer:

- A collaborative team of experienced ad makers who love their work.
- A chance to develop skills across multiple creative disciplines and explore different career paths.
- The opportunity to help shape a new way of working with brands and agencies.
- A beautiful workspace with natural light, trees, and other fancy things.
- Flexible work-from-home options and adaptable hours.
- A four-day work week (because two day weekends should be literally illegal).

Position Overview:
We’re looking for a Post Production Generalist & Content Creator who thrives in a small, high-energy (often chaotic) team. You’ll be working in two key domains (They’re pretty different to each other but we think that’s cool and keeps things interesting):
Post Generalist - As a post generalist you’ll be jumping between offline and online editing so you need skills in both areas, but it’s super important you’re first and foremost a technical wizard. You’ll be entrusted with the technical, finishing, and mastering side of post-production ensuring everything runs smoothly when projects reach the home stretch. The last 5% of a project is just as important as the first 95%, and we need someone who takes pride in making sure nothing slips through the cracks.

Content Creator - Along with being a post production genius and day-to-day hero to all, you’ll be given creative freedom to experiment with small, in-studio productions: directing and shooting content that’s often fun, low stakes and highly creative.

This dual role is perfect for a kick-arse, technically minded someone, who has loads of different creative skills and interests.

Key Responsibilities:
*Post Generalist*
- Basic online editing, mastering, and outputting (adding supers, disclaimers, aspect ratio outputs, transcoding, tech checking, etc.).
- Hardcore technical quality control human/mistake-spotter.
- Prepping projects for grade and sound, ensuring smooth handovers to external studios.
- Offline editing in DaVinci Resolve.
- Basic to intermediate motion design in After Effects.
- Basic colour grading in Resolve

*Content Creator*
- Shooting and Directing small content pieces in-studio.
- Maintaining gear, studio spaces, and ensuring everything is in top shape.
- Keeping hardware and software up to date and running smoothly.
- Recommend post-production and production equipment upgrades as needed.

Qualifications & Attributes:
*Essential*
- Be a human being.
- Have a strong problem-solving mindset and a love for making things run smoothly.
- A keen eye for detail, especially when it comes to tech checking.
- Ability to work well within a team and collaborate across disciplines.
- Can provide examples of strong editing skills (can be a family holiday for all we care as long as the edit is unreal)
- Basic to intermediate After Effectsing
- Creative interests and pursuits beyond just technical post-production.

*Desirable*
- Experience working in post production
- Experience mastering/outputting commercials for broadcast and streaming
- Experience colour grading (or a strong interest in learning it).
- A background in shooting and directing small-scale productions.
- Experience maintaining post-production equipment and software.
- Experience maintaining production equipment: lights, mirrorless cameras etc.

Why Join Us?
- Come work for a team that prioritizes being human—good vibes, flexi hours, no burnout etc
- Work on interesting projects with creative freedom and room to develop your skills.
- Help experiment with changing how ads are made.
- Four-day workweeks.

We want to see your creative skills in action—whether it’s a slick commercial, a chaotic passion project, or a beautifully shot video of your veggie garden. Show us you have technical chops, taste and style.

Come be part of a fun adventure with us.
