Need Help Crafting Job Descriptions for Technical Roles in a New HR Department

Dear all,

I have been recruited as an HR Executive in an Advertising Agency. The HR Department is completely new in my company, and I have to establish and systematize the HR activities here.

As part of my responsibilities, I am developing job descriptions for all positions in our company. In this process, I am facing difficulty in preparing job descriptions for the following technical positions:

1. Post Production Supervisor
2. Animator-Post Production
3. Editor-Post Production
4. Creative Director
5. Art Director
6. Media Executive/Supervisor

I am looking for help and suggestions regarding the format and job descriptions of the above particular positions so that I can complete my task.

Thank you.

With Regards,
Sujata

Hi there,

For these technical jobs you have just mentioned, the easiest way to build a job description (JD) is to assign this task to the job holder themselves:

- Let them list their day-to-day tasks.
- Let them list their monthly tasks.
- Identify their ongoing projects and planned initiatives.
- Determine their qualifications relevant to the job.
- Specify any other required certifications for the job.
- Outline the technical skills necessary for the job.

From the compiled list of tasks, you can create a generic job description for the position, starting from senior positions cascading down to junior positions.

Greetings,

As Anayat has shared, please do consider those suggestions. Additionally, here are a few of mine:

- Make a study including both desired and required parameters for your sector.
- Identify the keywords used to define by the industry leaders and your competitors.
- Identify a format to be used which suits your organization the most.
- Include the write-up that you could develop with Anayat's directions.
