• Set best practices for file management, proxy workflows, pacing styles, and common edit templates.

Cross Functional Support:

• Work closely with scriptwriters, directors, producers and strategy teams to interpret briefs and bring ideas to life.
• Translate scripts into powerful visual communication that resonates across digital platforms.
• Suggest creative approaches, camera/shot styles, reference moods, transitions, and experimental edit techniques.

Project Management & delivery

• Deliver technically precise, platform-optimized outputs for social, digital, YouTube, podcast, and corporate formats.
• Maintain high awareness of digital trends, creator formats, scroll science, sound cues, loops, hooks, and platform-native storytelling.

• Strong technical proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, DaVinci Resolve.
