POSITION SUMMARY:

Metadata Cine is looking for a multi-skilled Dailies Operator to join our team on a per project basis. This is a very varied position and responsibilities vary from project to project. You could be asked to work on your own, as part of a larger team or on multiple projects, so clear communication is vital. Working hours and location also depend on the project, as you may be required to travel with a production, work near the set or in our Santo Domingo office. On a normal shift, a Dailies Operator may perform some or all of the following tasks, depending on the project.

• Escalate inquiries internally as needed through the appropriate channels.
