ABOUT US

Avenues is an East London editing studio working across commercial, fashion, music, documentary and drama. We work with some of the largest global brands, numerous advertising agencies, production companies and post houses across the globe. We are a fast-moving team juggling multiple projects at a time. We’re looking for a keen post producer to come and be an integral part of our team.

ABOUT THE ROLE

This is a great opportunity for someone who is passionate about good creative content, is very well organised and likes taking initiative as you will be working on a number of projects at one time.

To succeed in this role you will be level-headed, hard-working, creatively driven and unflappable under challenging timeframes and budgets. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants to have a big influence on an ambitious company.
