Company Description

Rolo Studios incorporated in the United States in 2018. In our brief history, we have established a footprint around the globe and have centered our studio hub in Bogotá, Colombia.

This is an American startup-like work environment that is fast-paced and demanding, but a lot of fun!
At our core, Rolo Studios is built on trust. And our partners to the north count on us and we are confident that our people will deliver. While accolades and credentials are nice, we are seeking talented people with all kinds of backgrounds that we can bring into our little world of best-in-class production work implemented for some of the biggest brands in the world. We’re a fun company that’s taking off!

If selected for a position, get ready to roll your sleeves up and dive in. The work and our team will be happy to welcome you on board.
