Post-Production Creative and Ops
A position at Supermix, New York NY, USA
Salary range: $40,000 to $51,000 (yearly rate) - subject to experience
Supermix
Supermix is the team behind the world’s biggest tech and startup shows. We handle podcast and video editing, marketing and strategy, so the hosts can focus on what they do best – sharing their expertise.
You can see some of our customers and content at www.supermix.io. We love the podcasts we produce and we learn from them constantly. It’s like getting paid to study the best minds in tech and startups.
Our team is small, ambitious, remote and tight-knit. We all care about doing great work and everyone collaborates with everyone, including the co-founders (Zac and Xavier). We strive for everything we do to “just make sense.” If something’s clunky, we fix it. If there’s a smarter way, we find it. We lay good tracks so everyone can drive fast and smooth.
About the role
We’re hiring someone to lead the Supermix post-production operation. You’ll make sure our videos go out on time, look amazing, and makes sense — consistently.
You’ll assign edits, give feedback, create guides, improve systems, and jump into the weeds whenever needed, whether that’s light editing, coordinating timelines and people, reviewing videos, or coaching editors through problems.
This is a creative-ops hybrid role. You’ll help shape the look/feel of the content, but also the team and systems behind it.
We’ll trust you with real responsibility from day one—and you’ll have the opportunity to grow the role fast.

- Work with producers to constantly lift the quality bar based on your judgment and feedback from our internal team, customers and their audiences.
- Creative input:
