About the Role
As a Senior Post Production Manager, you are the operational and structural backbone of 360° VR post-production at L1VE. You design, document, and manage a scalable pipeline for picture and spatial audio – internally and with external partners. Your focus is to develop and implement attractive, tailor-made post-production concepts for both existing and future partners. You combine technical understanding, process thinking, and leadership strength.
Responsibilities
- Build, document, and continuously optimize the entire 360° VR post-production pipeline at L1VE – from stitching and color grading to 3D audio and final delivery across all relevant formats.
- Coordinate and lead internal post-production teams as well as external studios, freelancers, and technology partners – with clear briefings, quality standards, and timelines.
- Own quality assurance for picture and spatial audio (Ambisonics) – ensuring every production meets or exceeds L1VE’s excellence standards.
- Drive technological advancement in immersive media production: evaluate, test, and – where valuable – implement new tools, workflows, and innovations.
- Work closely with Content & Creation, Tech, and Platform teams to ensure post-production is seamlessly integrated into the overall production process.
- Identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies in the post-production pipeline early and develop proactive countermeasures.
Requirements
- Professional experience in post-production, project management, or production management – ideally in VR/360° or immersive media.
- Proven ability to build, lead, and optimize post-production pipelines – both with internal teams and with external studios and freelancers.
- Solid technical understanding of 360° picture workflows (stitching, color, delivery) and 3D audio (Ambisonics, spatial audio, Dolby Atmos).
- Process-driven with strong execution.
- Innovation-driven and curious.
- A principled networker – you bring an existing network in studios, freelance production, or technology, or you are able to build one in a focused, strategic way.
- Genuine enthusiasm for immersive media, sports, music, and what makes 360° VR unique.
- Calm under pressure and clear in your communication – internally and externally, at eye level with creatives and technicians alike.
- Degree or completed vocational training in media production, film production, audio engineering, media business, or a comparable field – or equivalent practical experience.
- Tool-agnostic mindset and willingness to actively co-design the L1VE post-production pipeline – from software selection to workflow documentation.
- Familiarity with common post-production software ecosystems (e.g. DaVinci Resolve, After Effects, Mistika VR, Nuendo, Pro Tools or similar).
- Confident working with project management tools (e.g. Notion, Jira, Asana, etc.).
- Experience leading production processes in demanding environments – budget responsibility and stakeholder management are not new to you.
- Fluent in English and German (business level).
