Here's What I'm Looking For and Not...

We are looking for a talented digital video editor to assemble recorded footage into a finished project suitable for online marketing and social media platforms.

You have the rare ability to bring sight and sound together in order to tell a riveting story.

Personally, I’m under a lot of pressure to make the cash register ring for our clients and I need someone that can rise to the occasion and constantly push the envelope with our creative.

Speed is very important to me. If you’re a slow worker or a slow implementer or a slow learner – we simply won’t be a good fit.

Lastly, I expect you to have a can do attitude. I can’t stand complainers or those that talk a good game but nothing ever gets done. What I really want is someone who lets their work do the talking for them.

• Take a brief to grasp production team’s needs and specifications


• Review shooting script and raw material to create a shot decision list based on scenes’ value and contribution to continuity


• Trim footage segments and put together the sequence of the film


• Input music, dialogues, graphics and effects


• Create rough and final cuts


• Ensure logical sequencing and smooth running


• Work with team players from production to post-production process


• Continuously discover and implement new editing technologies and industry’s best practices to maximize efficiency


• Join images with background graphics and special effects

• Solid experience with digital technology and editing software packages (e.g. Avid Media Composer, Lightworks, Premiere, After Effects, Camtasia, Final Cut)


• Demonstrable video editing ability with a strong portfolio


• Thorough knowledge of timing, motivation, continuity, etc.


• Familiarity with special effects, 3D and compositing


• Creative mind and storytelling skills


• BS degree in film studies, cinematography or related field

You need to be a hardworking, self-starter, who is coachable, dependable, determined, driven, accountable, tech savvy, and naturally obsessed with details.

Additional Requirements

• Intermediate knowledge of internet marketing, tracking, conversions, sales funnels, sales copy, upsells, etc.


• Intermediate knowledge of some of the tools we use… like WordPress, Optimize Press, Infusionsoft


• Intermediate knowledge of ad creation, ad placement and ad management (i.e. banners, ppc, solo ads, etc).

Optional Skills (Not Required, But a Plus)

• Basic HTML / coding ability
