Colorist

Location: Barcelona

About us

We are Dragons, a global creative agency working with bold brands to build cultural relevance, connection, and long-term impact through strategy-led creativity.

We bridge digital and creative thinking, developing innovative work across skincare, healthcare, fashion, lifestyle, FMCG, and more. Our international teams in the US and Barcelona deliver results through smart strategy, sharp creativity, and meticulous execution.

About the role

We're looking for a Colorist to join our in-house post-production team in Barcelona. You'll own the final look of our work, from branded content and social content to campaign assets for international clients.

You'll work closely with editors and creative teams, often on several projects at once. You'll turn a creative brief into a consistent, polished grade and deliver it to spec on every platform. The role suits a colorist with around 3-5 years of experience who brings strong taste, technical rigour and a collaborative, client-facing attitude.

Key responsibilities

• Grade commercials, branded content and social assets from conform to final delivery.

• Develop looks and visual references with directors and creative teams at the start of each project.

• Lead attended grading sessions with clients and agency creatives, and turn their feedback into clear revisions.

• Keep every project visually consistent across shots, formats and deliverables, including vertical and cut-down versions.

• Prepare and check deliverables to technical spec for broadcast, cinema, web and social, including SDR and HDR where needed.

• Manage color pipelines and color management (ACES or similar) and work with editors and VFX on handoffs, conforms and round-trips.

• Do technical fixes such as shot matching, skin-tone work, secondary corrections, tracking and basic beauty clean-up.

• Plan and prioritise several projects at once, flag schedule risks early and estimate grading time for producers.

• Look after the grading suite, including calibration, monitoring, LUTs, presets and project archives.

• Share knowledge with junior team members and help define the agency's grading workflows and standards.

Requirements

Must have

• Around 3-5 years of professional color grading experience, ideally in advertising, a creative agency or a post-production house.

• A strong reel of commercial and branded work that shows range, consistency and a clear eye for look development.

• Advanced DaVinci Resolve skills, including node-based grading, conform, Fusion basics and project management.

• Solid knowledge of color science and color management (ACES, color spaces, gamma, LUTs) and of camera RAW formats such as ARRI, RED and Sony.

• Experience delivering to spec for broadcast, digital and social platforms, including QC.

• Confidence running client-attended sessions and taking feedback well under deadline pressure.

• Good organisation and the ability to manage several projects at once.

• Fluent Spanish and English. Catalan is a plus.

• Able to work on-site in Barcelona.
