• Flag technical or workflow issues early and suggest practical improvements.

Requirements:

• At least three years' professional video editing experience.
• Strong skills in Adobe Premiere Pro
• Hands-on experience operating studio camera, audio and lighting set-ups.
• Excellent organisation and the ability to juggle several deadlines without losing quality.
