We believe in making people matter at Outpost. We want to build a creative environment where everyone feels valued, treated with respect and able to make a positive difference every day. We’re ambitious and growing quickly but our focus remains on nurturing personal connections, supporting one another as well as making time to celebrate our collective successes.

What's in it for you?

At Outpost you have the chance to make a valuable contribution, not only to the amazing high end episodic and film productions you’ll be working on, but also in developing the positive culture that we want to spread throughout the VFX community. 

You will have access to training through online training platforms as well as our own internal learning and development resources. And as a growing team there are always opportunities to progress your career or move into a different area to further your development. We’ll work with you to help you achieve your goals, whatever they may be.
