What salary to ask for as Post Supe (in-house, nutrition and fitness start up)

Hey all, I’m seeking your input on a job I’m expecting to interview for.

About the job:
They are a start up that sells products in the fitness/ nutrition/ wellness space. They have been dramatically ramping up their advertising and marketing this year. Right now, they have some editors, a video production lead, and a creative director but there is no one single post production supervisor, so I would be kind of building a department and set of processes from semi-scratch.

About me:
10 years of experience as a story producer, post producer and editor. Mix of freelance clients and one full time job as Story/Post producer at an agency for 3 of those years. I’ve never held a post supe title, but I’ve been in positions many times where I’m juggling many projects, clients, and editors at the same time as a Post Producer, and also worked within several different companies, which gives me a good sense of what does and doesn’t work.

What salary should I reasonably ask for this? And what should I reasonably expect to get? I’m down to swing for the fences, freelancing has been great to me the last few years and I’m not coming to this interview from a position of any desperation.

I cross posted to r/videoprofessionals as well so adding that this would be in Los Angeles (but fully remote)

Thanks for your thoughts!
