Studio Avatar Supervisor

Synthesia Synthesia · Multimodal · London, United Kingdom · Commercial

This role is for an Avatar Studio Supervisor at Synthesia, an AI video platform company. The role involves supporting avatar processing, finishing, and release workflows, using and developing proficiency with AI tools (including Claude, generative image tools, and Synthesia's platform) to create and release avatars. It also includes traditional post-production tasks like editing and color grading, as well as client interaction and organizational responsibilities. The role requires experience in post-production or VFX, proficiency with DaVinci Resolve and Photoshop, and comfort using AI tools. While the company is AI-focused and uses AI tools extensively, the core responsibilities of this specific role are not about building or researching AI models themselves, but rather using AI tools within a production pipeline.

  1. Support avatar processing, finishing, and release workflows as a core part of the post-production pipeline
  2. Use and develop proficiency with AI tools — including Claude, generative image tools, and Synthesia’s own platform — to enhance and accelerate production work
  3. Create and release avatars using generative AI models to clients
