Senior Video Editor

The role

You will edit social and brand video, product launches, technical explainers, customer stories, interviews, events, recruiting content, and internal communications. This is a hands-on post-production role centered on story construction, pacing, dialogue, music, sound, routine color and finishing, versioning, quality control, and organized delivery.

What you will do

• Edit short- and medium-form video for social, web, events, presentations, internal channels, and other communications needs.
• Review briefs, scripts, transcripts, footage, product assets, screen recordings, archival material, and other sources to build clear editorial structures.
• Create selects, string-outs, assemblies, rough cuts, fine cuts, and final masters.
• Find concise and emotionally credible stories in interviews, observational footage, product demonstrations, customer experiences, events, and operational capture.
• Partner with the Video Producer to confirm audience, deliverables, schedules, review rounds, feedback routing, and delivery requirements.
• Collaborate with the Cinematographer on footage assessment, coverage, continuity, exposure, color intent, and any pickup needs.
• Collaborate with the Motion Designer on animation briefs, timing, placeholders, turnovers, renders, revisions, and integration of final motion assets.
• Edit and clean dialogue, select and place music, build sound design, balance mixes, and prepare audio for final delivery or external mixing.
• Complete color correction and routine grades for in-house projects.
• Create and manage versions across durations, aspect ratios, placements, captions, languages, calls to action, and platform specifications.

Required qualifications

• 7+ years of professional video-editing and post-production experience in an in-house creative team, agency, studio, production company, media organization, or similarly demanding environment.
• A strong reel and portfolio demonstrating editorial judgment, pacing, emotional range, and work across multiple formats, with your role identified for each project.
• Expert proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro or another professional nonlinear editing system.
• Strong working knowledge of DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Audition or comparable audio tools, and post-production workflows from ingest through final delivery.
• Demonstrated experience editing interviews, documentary or observational footage, product stories, technical explainers, social content, and brand communications.
• Strong instincts for story structure, performance, pacing, music, sound, visual rhythm, and audience attention.
• Professional experience with dialogue editing, sound design, music editing, audio cleanup and balancing, color correction, conform, captions, and finishing.
• Working knowledge of motion-graphics and visual-effects pipelines sufficient to brief, turn over, integrate, version, and quality-check work from a Motion Designer or external partner.
• Strong technical knowledge of codecs, containers, frame rates, resolutions, aspect ratios, color spaces, audio specifications, captions, and platform delivery requirements.
• Excellent organization across media ingest, proxies, transcripts, project files, feedback, versions, masters, and archives.
• Ability to manage multiple edits and review cycles while maintaining accuracy, responsiveness, and attention to detail.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills.
