Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
Synthesia sits in a distinctive part of the SaaS landscape: an AI-native, enterprise-facing platform where the “product” is tightly coupled to real production operations. This Studio Avatar Supervisor role is notable because it reflects how modern SaaS companies increasingly run hybrid workflows that blend software, data handling, and media pipelines to deliver a repeatable customer outcome.
For a SaaS career, the role offers exposure to operational scaling in a product-led environment, where quality, throughput, and release discipline directly affect customer experience. The mix of AI tooling, post-production standards, and structured asset management mirrors challenges seen across SaaS functions such as RevOps and implementation, translating creative work into reliable, auditable processes. That combination builds durable skills in tooling adoption, workflow design, and cross-functional delivery that remain relevant across AI-enabled SaaS categories.
This position is best suited to professionals who enjoy bringing order to complex production systems and can move comfortably between hands-on craft and process stewardship. It will particularly fit someone who prefers clear technical standards, cares about consistency in output, and is motivated by working close to both internal stakeholders and client needs in a software-mediated service model.

Job Description
Synthesia is the world’s leading AI video platform for business, used by over 90% of the Fortune 100. Founded in 2017, the company is headquartered in London, with offices and teams across Europe and the US.
As AI continues to shape the way we live and work, Synthesia develops products to enhance visual communication and enterprise skill development, helping people work better and stay at the center of successful organizations.

Our total funding exceeds $530 million from premier investors including Accel, NVentures (Nvidia's VC arm), Kleiner Perkins, GV, and Evantic Capital, alongside the founders and operators of Stripe, Datadog, Miro, and Webflow.
About the Role
We’re looking for a highly motivated, technically sharp Avatar Studio Supervisor to join our Avatar Production team. This is a mid-function role sitting at the intersection of on-set production and post-production processing with the primary focus on helping our team with avatar processing, finishing, and releases.
As we scale our production operations we need someone who can dive into the production to post-production pipeline, bring organisational rigor, technical quality and grow fast in an AI-powered environment.
What You’ll Be Doing
Support avatar processing, finishing, and release workflows as a core part of the post-production pipeline
Use and develop proficiency with AI tools — including Claude, generative image tools, and Synthesia’s own platform — to enhance and accelerate production work
Create and release avatars using generative AI models to clients
Edit, color grade, and composite footage using DaVinci Resolve and Adobe Creative Suite
Maintain exceptional organizational standards for data backup, file transfer, and asset security after shoots
Collaborate with internal teams in London to support Marketing and Sales shoots
Scope avatar needs with clients and guide them to the right solution
Adapt quickly to constantly evolving technology and processes
Requirements
2+ years of experience in a post-production, visual effects, or a technical production role — titles like video editor, assistant editor, compositor, VFX artist, post-production coordinator, or AI video creator are all relevant backgrounds
Broad technical toolkit across multiple disciplines
Experience with DaVinci Resolve (editing and/or color grading)
Experience with Photoshop for retouching and asset preparation
Comfortable using AI tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, Midjourney, or DALL-E 3 — and genuinely curious about learning more
Strong organizational skills and a systematic approach to technical workflows
Clear, efficient communicator — comfortable working with clients and internal stakeholders
Highly self-motivated, keen to learn, and fast to adapt
Committed to technical excellence and best practice
Nice to Have
On-set production experience — camera operation, lighting, or similar
Audio skills, including Pro Tools and audio engineering
Working knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite
Experience with VFX or on-set VFX crew in client-facing environments
Basic programming skills, particularly in python
Why Synthesia
This is a role where attitude and approach matter as much as your CV. Our Avatar Production team has deep collective experience and can bring the right person up to speed — if you show up hyper-driven, ready to learn, and genuinely excited by AI-powered video production, you’ll thrive here.
You’ll be working on technology that is shaping how enterprise communication gets made — and doing it with a team at the center of that shift.
