Lead Script Editor – VSI Los Angeles About Us

Founded in 1989, the VSI Group has grown to become one of the world’s leading localization companies, offering foreign-language versioning services such as voice-over, dubbing, subtitling and translation, as well as post-production and graphic design. We have a wide portfolio of international and local clients including some of the biggest global brands in the entertainment, media, and corporate industries.

At VSI LA, we specialize in producing English dubs for some of the highest-profile foreign film, television, and streaming titles.

Summary

We are looking for a LEAD SCRIPT EDITOR to join our team and help produce and deliver scripting materials for a variety of dubbing projects.

As a department lead, you will be responsible for taking on a share of daily tasks, as well as allocating time to ensure the department’s workload is evenly distributed across script editors throughout the day. This means closely coordinating with the dubbing production team to adjust schedules and move tasks based on deadlines and capacity.

You will work with the dubbing adaptation supervisor to create and update SOPs as needed and collaborate with other departments to find new ways to evolve existing workflows.

Our ideal candidate is self-sufficient, quick to learn, and brings with them prior localization experience, strong organizational skills and the ability to lead and train others.

This is a full-time position.

Ø Supervising and working with other script editors to ensure deadlines are met while maintaining quality of output.

Ø Evaluating capacity and ensuring tasks are distributed effectively across the department.

Ø Liaising between the scripting and dubbing production teams.

o  Working with producers to keep track of due dates and rescheduling tasks as needed.

Ø Creating and updating script-related SOPs.

Ø Developing a thorough knowledge of all scripting tasks and performing them on a daily basis.

o  Tasks such as…

§ Reviewing incoming translations and adaptations to ensure they meet our technical standards.

§ Conforming dubbing scripts to match updated media.

§ Creating trailer scripts.

§ Creating as-recorded scripts.

§ Tackling general technical scripting issues that arise during the various stages of dubbing.

    Skills and Experience

Ø Native fluency in English. Knowledge of other languages is a plus.

Ø An understanding of post-production—especially regarding localization—and project management.

Ø The ability to lead and train others.

Ø Excellent time management and communication skills.

Ø Strong computer literacy (Windows & MacOS).

Ø Familiarity with timeline-based video/sound/text editing software (e.g. Adobe Premiere, Avid Media Composer, Pro Tools, Mosaic, VoiceQ, EZ Titles…).

Ø Knowledge of various dub scripting tools.

Ø The ability to constructively process feedback and work efficiently to meet deadlines.

Ø Prior supervisory experience highly desired.


Salary Range: $26-$32/hour
