Senior Post Production Manager (360° VR, international)

Your mission

To strengthen our team, we are looking for a Senior Post Production Manager (360° VR, International) who builds, optimizes, and leads a high-performance 360° VR post-production pipeline for picture and 3D audio – and turns complex productions into reliably excellent deliveries for our partners.

Your 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. You know what excellent 360° VR post-production means – in image and spatial audio – and turn that into scalable, repeatable workflows that make post-production run like a well-oiled machine.

Key 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 – before they become issues.
• Whether live sports productions, music events, or brand partnerships: you deliver. Always. On time. At an excellent standard.

Your profile

Experience, Knowledge & Skills

• Professional experience in post-production, project management, or production management – ideally in VR/360° or immersive media, but this is not a strict requirement: structure, network, and leadership strength matter more.
• 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) – you know what to expect and demand from your teams.

Personal Competencies & Mindset

• Process-driven with strong execution – you don’t create concepts that disappear into a drawer; you implement them.
• Innovation-driven and curious – you don’t want to merely manage the status quo; you want to shape, improve, and push it forward.
• 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.

Education & Qualifications

• Degree or completed vocational training in media production, film production, audio engineering, media business, or a comparable field – or equivalent practical experience that provides a similar foundation.
• 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) – and a clear sense of which tools are right for which production requirements.
• Confident working with project management tools (e.g. Notion, Jira, Asana, etc.) – you can map, track, and communicate post-production workflows digitally and transparently.
• Experience leading production processes in demanding environments – budget responsibility and stakeholder management are not new to you. VR experience is a clear advantage, but not a must.

Additional Requirements

• Languages: Fluent in English and German (business level) – you communicate confidently with international studios, technical teams, and brand partners. Additional languages are a plus.
• Travel: Approx. 25% of working time, nationally and internationally
