• Collaborate closely with the creative team, KOLs, and partners during shoots to bring stories to life on location.

Team Management

• Lead a small team of junior editors, freelancers, and production vendors—providing creative direction and feedback.

• Review and approve cuts to ensure storytelling, branding, and pacing are up to MOVE’s creative standards.

• Guide junior team members’ growth through mentoring and skill development.
  

Project Management

• Own end-to-end timelines for multiple video projects ensuring deadlines are met without compromising quality.

• Coordinate with internal stakeholders (brand, social, performance, PR) to align on briefs, deliverables, and feedback loops.

• Oversee post-production workflows, file management, and asset backups.
  

Costing & Vendor Coordination

• Manage post-production budgets and coordinate freelance editors, voiceover artists, or animation specialists as needed.

• Evaluate cost-effective solutions while maintaining high creative output.

Qualifications:

• 5–7 years of experience in video editing, with a strong portfolio of branded content and short-form social videos.

• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, and relevant editing tools.

• Strong understanding of pacing, audio sync, transitions, text animation, and social-first storytelling.
  Basic camera and lighting operation skills; comfortable supporting small-scale shoots.
  Excellent time management and multitasking abilities across multiple projects.

• Experience managing creative teams or freelance talent.
