• Operate independently with minimal direction, confidently interpreting limited notes and feedback
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues within established actions, automation, and batch processes
• Candidates must be comfortable making informed visual decisions in ambiguous situations with little day-to-day support or direction.
• Collaborate effectively with creative partners to understand goals while owning execution end-to-end
• Communicate clearly and professionally, remaining open to critique while taking ownership of final output
• Demonstrate accountability, strong work ethic, and a continuous improvement mindset
• Apply advanced color theory to achieve polished, cohesive, and production-accurate results
• Support basic video editing needs, including stitching clips, creating loops, and performing color and exposure adjustments
