Job description

Reality Labs Entertainment Video Production (RVP) develops, produces, and delivers video content across a fast-growing, ever-evolving slate — spanning immersive, 3D, and traditional formats.We're hiring a Head of Post-Production & Delivery to own the post and delivery engine that every title flows through. Post here is involved from development through final delivery, not as a downstream phase: this role leads the post-production process with our post-production partners, coordinates deliveries, ensures content meets technical specs and best practices, and keeps asset tracking and cross-functional communication clean. Our producers own their projects and partner relationships; this role makes sure the post-production and delivery pipelines run clean across the slate in support of those producers — and raises the quality bar as we scale.This is a senior, hands-on leadership role for someone who has built and tightened post-production systems at scale, can look around corners in a fast-moving environment, understands the full landscape of traditional, immersive, and stereoscopic 3D post, and is comfortable directing a roster of external vendors and contractors through ambiguous, ever-changing, high-throughput work. You'll build the documented, repeatable, scalable systems a growing slate depends on.
Post Production & Delivery Lead Responsibilities:
  • Own the post & delivery pipeline, end-to-end. Own how every title moves from turnover through finishing, QC, and final delivery to platform(s) / surface(s) — across 3D conversions, native 3D productions, immersive originals, and live sports
  • Tighten the systems. Define and harden the post-production operating system: delivery specs and acceptance criteria, the producer-driven media-review process, closed-captioning / localization standards, asset management and naming conventions, status tracking, workflow automation, and the development of durable, self-serve standards
  • Lead the vendor & contractor org. Source, scope, onboard, and hold accountable a roster of external post partners (conversion houses, finishing / DI, stereo, color, sound) and contract post producers, editors, and coordinators.
  • Be the quality gate. Own the quality bar and acceptance criteria
  • serve as the last line of defense on technical spec and craft before content ships — and help write those standards into how the broader slate operates as volume scales
  • Look around corners. Anticipate capacity, throughput, and risk ahead of demand such as plan pipeline scaling, vendor concentration / contingency, and tooling investment before they become blockers.
  • Partner cross-functionally. Work shoulder-to-shoulder with producers (project owners), physical production, production finance, technical production, programming, marketing, and external studios / partners enforcing specs and timelines while keeping communication tight.
  • Operate across formats. Bring fluency across traditional post, immersive (stereoscopic VR180, mixed reality) and stereoscopic 3D post + conversion and keep current with the tools, specs, and platform realities as they evolve

Minimum Qualifications:
  • 12+ years of post-production experience across scripted, unscripted, and/or live events, including senior leadership (Post Production Supervisor / Post Producer / Head-of-Post or equivalent) running multiple concurrent projects from development through delivery
  • Experience with digital asset management systems, media encoding technologies, and post production software ecosystems
  • Proven track record building and tightening post-production and delivery systems at scale including delivery specs, QC and acceptance standards, media asset management, naming conventions, and workflow automation — not just running shows
  • Demonstrated experience leading external vendors and contractors (not only internal staff) to high-quality, on-spec, on-time delivery in fast-paced, ambiguous, ever-changing environments
  • Deep technical fluency: video/audio codecs, transcoding to spec, high-resolution content (4K–8K+), HDR / Dolby Vision, spatial / Dolby Atmos audio, professional camera formats, and editorial / online / grade / sound workflows
  • Experience with capacity and throughput planning, risk anticipation, and scaling pipelines ahead of demand
  • Hands-on proficiency with industry-standard post tools (Adobe, Blackmagic / DaVinci Resolve, Foundry, SGO) and review/approval tooling
  • Demonstrated experience with exceptional organization and attention to detail, with the ability to set standards and best practices for large, distributed teams
  • Experience with communication and collaboration and able to influence cross-functional teams and external partners, and to lead and mentor without relying on direct reporting lines

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience delivering to new platforms and devices (headset / spatial playback, novel delivery specs)
  • Live events and/or sports post and live workflows
  • Experience with immersive video formats — stereoscopic VR180, mixed reality, etc
  • Closed-captioning and localization at scale (multi-language / multi-dialect delivery)
  • Track record standing up a post operation from a vendor + contractor base (vs. a large in-house FTE team)
  • Experience with stereoscopic / 3D content and 2D→3D conversion workflows
