About Huda Beauty
Huda Beauty is a purpose-led beauty brand founded in 2013 by award-winning entrepreneur Huda Kattan. The company aims to help reshape beauty by putting creative control back into people’s hands, while staying focused on business excellence, kindness, and community.
Role Overview
We are looking for a strategic yet hands-on Head of Post-Production to guide and strengthen the brand’s video content capability. You will own the post-production direction for brand campaigns, social-led content, and wider marketing work, while leading and developing a team of four in-house editors.
This role partners closely with Creative, Marketing, and Social teams to deliver top-quality content, keep workflows efficient, and ensure work is delivered on time. The position demands deep post-production knowledge, strong people leadership, and comfort operating in a high-volume, fast-moving environment. You will help define technical and creative standards, improve operations, grow talent, and maintain quality from concept to final export.
This is a hybrid-style role in spirit: highly strategic, but also practical and involved when needed, including support on shoots, technical planning, and building a flexible network of videographers and freelance collaborators.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead, coach, and support a team of four editors.
- Own end-to-end post-production planning and delivery across a large portfolio of video projects.
- Coordinate schedules, traffic flow, and prioritization for post-production work.
- Design and roll out workflows that help the team work more efficiently and with greater autonomy.
- Support the development of junior team members and help them progress toward independent ownership.
- Ensure all branded storytelling meets the brand’s creative standards and quality expectations.
- Handle several urgent projects at once while keeping deadlines and deliverables on track.
- Spot bottlenecks or inefficiencies in the post-production process and drive ongoing improvements.
- Shape a distinct Huda Beauty editing approach, including color grading, motion graphics, animation, and sound design.
- Collaborate with the Head of Agency to improve project tracking, workflow structure, and deadline discipline.
- Bring innovation into the function, including the practical use of AI and other new tools where relevant.
- Develop reliable storage systems and archiving practices.
- Maintain a trusted network of freelancers and vendors that can scale support when required.
Requirements
- At least 10 years of experience in post-production management or a closely related discipline.
- Strong command of the full post-production process, including editing, color work, VFX, and sound design.
- Proven ability to run multiple projects simultaneously under demanding timelines.
- Background in an agency, in-house brand team, or post-production studio environment.
- Excellent stakeholder management skills with the ability to align different teams and influence decisions.
- Experience leading teams of 5 or more direct reports, as well as freelancers.
- Advanced knowledge of editing tools, with Premiere Pro as a must-have and After Effects among the expected tools.
- Strong creative judgment, communication skills, and attention to detail.
- Comfort with social-first and platform-native video formats.
Benefits
- Monthly Self Love Days, subject to company discretion.
- Premium medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and dependents.
- Monthly coaching sessions with the company’s in-house Success Coach.
- Discounts on Huda Beauty products for employees.
- Quarterly product gifts.
