Post Production Coordinator

About the role

#ABtalks is looking for a technically skilled, detail-oriented and highly organized Post Production Coordinator to join its in-house Post-Production team in Dubai. The role sits at the centre of the post-production workflow: running the edit schedule, briefing in-house editors after every shoot, coordinating with external partners and looking after the team's media server and footage backups.

Key responsibilities

• Edit schedule and episode pipeline: own the edit schedule, assign work to in-house editors and set deadlines; brief editors immediately after each shoot with footage, notes and references so first drafts are delivered in 2-3 days.
• Track every episode from shoot to final export, including edit versions, feedback rounds, sound, subtitles and deliverables, and keep an up-to-date overview of the episode library.
• Coordinate with external partners on sound cleaning, mixing and editing of b-roll-heavy segments, send them the right files and briefs and follow up on deliveries.
• Supervise the Subtitling Intern day to day, assign tasks, track deadlines and onboard each new intern at the start of their 3-month rotation.
• Manage footage and audio transfers, backups and storage after shoots, oversee the media server, maintain a consistent folder structure and standardized file naming, monitor storage capacity and handle archiving and retrieval.
• Identify and troubleshoot file management issues, escalate technical server problems when needed, and handle on-set media management and data wrangling when required.

Required profile

• Excellent organizational skills, attention to detail and ability to run structured schedules and workflows.
• Good understanding of video production, post-production and digital media workflows.
• Strong communication and coordination skills with editors, production teams and external vendors.
• Ability to manage multiple episodes at once, work independently and meet tight deadlines.
• Previous experience in post-production coordination, media management or DIT workflows is preferred; experience in a production company, post-production house or digital media environment is an advantage.

Required skills

• Familiarity with footage transfers, backup procedures, file verification and media archiving.
• Experience managing media servers, shared storage, folder structures and digital asset organization.
• Adobe Premiere Pro.
