Role summary: As the Manager, Finishing & Compositing at the LA Studio, you will serve as the hands-on finishing lead and 2D technical authority for Walmart Creative’s Post Production team – owning the complete finishing pipeline from conform and timeline management through beauty work, compositing, and final delivery across broadcast, digital, and full-funnel commercial content. You work primarily in Flame, bring Nuke depth for complex VFX compositing, and simultaneously identify and integrate AI and machine learning solutions that keep WC at the leading edge of commercial finishing. About the team: Walmart Creative’s Post Production team spans editorial, color, audio, CG, photo retouching, and 2D finishing – a cross-disciplinary group of specialists working together to bring campaigns from editorial handoff to final delivery at enterprise scale. The 2D finishing team collaborates closely with the CG Supervisor, editors, colorists, and motion designers, and works directly with creative directors, art directors, and directors on premium broadcast and digital advertising campaigns. Operating from the LA Studio in Los Angeles, this is a high-craft, fast-moving environment where uncompromising quality and forward-thinking technology integration are equally expected. What you’ll do:
- Serve as the working Flame lead across the full finishing pipeline – owning conform, timeline management, beauty work, compositing, and final QC from editorial handoff through delivery.
- Execute and supervise advanced beauty and retouching work in Flame – skin refinement, product hero finishing, wardrobe and environment cleanup, light adjustment, sky and background replacement.
- Identify and integrate AI and ML tools into the finishing pipeline – automating high-repetition tasks including roto, cleanup, upscaling, and asset versioning.
- Mentor in-house 2D artists across Flame, Nuke, and Photoshop workflows, building a team culture of precision, ownership, and continuous improvement.
What you’ll bring:
- 5-7 years as a lead Flame artist or senior 2D compositor at a commercial post facility, VFX studio, or in-house brand
- Expert-level Flame proficiency – conform, timeline management, batch compositing, and multi-format delivery.
- Strong working knowledge for multi-pass CG integration, rotoscoping, tracking, keying, and color management within a VFX pipeline.
- Proven expertise in beauty and retouching at an advertising standard – skin, hair, wardrobe, product hero, and environment finishing – with an exceptional eye for light, texture, and color.
- Hands-on experience with AI and ML tools in finishing workflows, and working knowledge of ComfyUI and Weavy for generative finishing applications.
