Video Editor

Job Overview:

We’re looking for a sharp, organized, and technically-minded Editor & Post-Production Manager who thrives in a fast-paced creative environment. This role is first and foremost an editorial position—but it’s not just about cutting footage. You’ll also be responsible for overseeing our post-production workflows, managing media and data systems, maintaining software and gear, and ideally stepping into a videographer or producer role on occasion for smaller shoots.

You should have a strong creative eye and be a storyteller, but also have solid technical chops and a systems-thinking mindset. The right candidate will be just as comfortable in a timeline as they are planning backups, troubleshooting an editing system, or organizing data across projects.
