Jobs at Early Media

Shape unscripted footage into polished, YouTube-native content from assembly to picture lock. Find narrative threads and character arcs in raw material, apply strong hooks and pacing, manage an assistant editor and high-volume edit pipeline, and deliver organized handoffs to finishing (color, sound, VFX) on a fast turnaround schedule.

Manage production logistics for unscripted series: coordinate travel, on-set logistics, crew meals, equipment, permits, releases, invoices, petty cash, and location agreements to keep shoots running smoothly.

Lead editorial process for scripted vertical and mixed-format series from assembly through picture lock. Collaborate with directors and producers on story, pacing, and emotional arc; manage edit pipeline with an Assistant Editor; coordinate with color, sound, VFX vendors; and help develop post-production standards while delivering high-volume, platform-optimized cuts for 13–30 year-old audiences.

Lead development of the native iOS Twist app and embeddable SDK, own App Store submissions, performance and UX decisions, and ship/maintain the app through its lifecycle while making product tradeoffs and working independently.

Own and design the core backend architecture for a streaming platform, analytics, prediction, and ecommerce. Build ingestion-to-attribution pipelines, implement logging/monitoring, mentor engineers, and make high‑impact architecture decisions across microservices, event-driven systems, and cloud infrastructure.

Develop original unscripted kids and youth video concepts from idea to production-ready story frameworks. Create full creative packages (title, hook, stakes, progression, payoff), keep formats and templates updated, and collaborate with producers to ensure concepts are ambitious, clear, and feasible within timeline and budget.

Own assigned scripted series from kickoff through delivery: budgets, schedules, crew, locations, vendor coordination, and junior staff management. Build department infrastructure (workflows, templates, systems), maintain talent relationships, and provide creative leadership across multiple simultaneous projects.

Manage day-to-day post-production across scripted and unscripted projects: scheduling, resource and vendor coordination, frontline creative feedback, note implementation, project-level budgets, and building operational workflows and documentation alongside the Director of Post.
