VIDEO PROCESSING MANAGER - REMOTE - ROMANIA, EASTERN EUROPE

We Realise Potential in Your Story - Wherever you are.

We are a multi-platform production company, social media agency, and digital media network who are currently on a quest to find a Video Processing Manager to remotely join our Content Operations Team who are based in London, UK.

The Video Processing Manager is a key member of the Content Operations team, ensuring the accuracy and integrity of our video assets. You will be in a strategic liaison position, bridging the gap between creative editing and technical engineering, ensuring that content from multiple sources is encoded, formatted, and delivered without issue. The day-to-day role involves the management of external vendor resources and editing teams, alongside the technical triage of our automated ingest pipelines.

🌎 Important: Please note that although you will be working remotely as a fully integrated member of the team, your formal employment contract will be managed through our Employer of Record (EOR) partner in your country.

What this means for you:

• Daily Life: You work 100% for Little Dot Studios, reporting to our managers and attending our team meetings.

• Pay & Benefits: Our EOR partner, Deel, handles your local payroll, taxes, and statutory benefits (like health insurance or pension) to ensure you are fully compliant with your local labor laws.

• Protection: This model ensures you have a legal employment contract in your home country while enjoying a career with a global company.

HOW YOU'LL SPEND YOUR TIME 

External Vendor and Workflow Management

• Manage the scheduling and output of external editing teams, ensuring resources are tracked across the department to anticipate pinch-points.

• Liaise with internal and external leads on upcoming work, workflow improvements, and performance standards.

• Ensure editing and content creation best practices are observed by external partners - review these processes regularly with the Head of Content Operations.

Technical Triage and Automation Support

• Triage workflow automation processes (utilising Python and FFmpeg). (You are not expected to write code, but you must be comfortable using the Terminal/CLI to view logs.)

• Diagnose and resolve encode failures, distinguishing between errors needing escalation to the Workflow Automation Manager and adjusting files for automation.

• Research and identify new software or workflow tweaks that may benefit content creation and delivery.

Content Formatting & Social Strategy

• Lead editing and workflow best practices within DaVinci Resolve, advising on efficient and effective methods for editing and workflow within our deliverables.

• Oversee the reformatting of broadcast/long-form content for social media platforms, ensuring technical specs align with platform requirements (e.g., correct codecs/aspect ratios for Reels, TikTok, YouTube).

• Manage time of Uploader team delivering content via social CMS platforms (Facebook Business Manager, YouTube Studio).

Data Analysis and Infrastructure

• Utilise Asana to track operational data, identifying fail rates, error trends, and operational blockers.

• User management of media workflow applications, including set up of roles and permissions - adhering to company security policies.

WHAT YOU NEED TO SUCCEED

Skills matter, experience is useful, attitude is everything. 

• Intermediate/advanced knowledge of DaVinci Resolve and Adobe Premiere/Media Encoder.

• Experience with reviewing/error reporting from Terminal/CLI logs to diagnose FFMPEG or Python automation errors.

• Experience managing external vendors/freelance pools. Strong proficiency in Asana workflows, automation and reporting.

• Familiarity with social media CMSs (YouTube, Meta/FB Business Manager). In-depth knowledge of best practices and industry-standard content delivery methods.

• An analytical approach to problem-solving with the ability to distinguish between technical infrastructure errors and asset errors.

• Acts responsibly and sensitively with all client and agency data. Collaborative and able to assist in training external partners when required.
