Job description

Job Info

Location: Pine City, Minnesota [in-office]

Industry: Firearms and Outdoor

Type: Full-time

About The Role

We’re looking for an Editor who can take raw footage from the studio, the field, and live events and shape it into polished, on-brand deliverables. You’ll be the person who makes the story work in the edit — cutting for pace and emotion, color grading for a consistent look, mixing clean audio, and turning projects around on deadline across a wide range of brands and formats.

This is a role for someone who lives in the timeline, sweats the details, and can juggle multiple projects without letting anything slip.

Eligibility Requirements

• Must be 18 years or older
• Must be legally allowed to own and possess firearms
• Must be able to work from our Pine City, MN office [not a remote role]

What You’ll Do

• Edit long- and short-form video: brand films, product launches, social cutdowns, event recaps, and YouTube content
• Color grade for a consistent, polished look across each brand
• Mix and clean audio, including dialogue, music, and sound design
• Build motion graphics, titles, and lower-thirds, and handle basic VFX cleanup
• Repurpose hero content into platform-specific cuts (vertical, square, short-form)
• Manage media: ingest, organize, back up, and archive project files following our workflow
• Collaborate with shooters and the creative lead on direction, shot selection, and revisions
• Manage your own queue and keep deliverables moving through our project tracking system
• Incorporate client feedback cleanly and hit revision deadlines

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years of professional editing experience (a strong reel matters more than years)
• Mastery of Adobe Premiere Pro and/or DaVinci Resolve
• Strong color grading and audio mixing skills
• A sharp sense of story, pacing, and rhythm for both narrative and social content
• Motion graphics ability (After Effects)
• Organized media management and a track record of hitting deadlines
• Ability to take feedback well and work efficiently through revision rounds
• Genuine interest in the outdoor and firearms space (you’ll be cutting a lot of it)

Preferred Experience [nice to have]

• Photo editing and retouching skills (Lightroom / Photoshop)
• Sound design and music selection chops
• Experience cutting fast-paced action or live event footage
• On-set or shooting experience that informs the edit
• Familiarity with collaborative review tools and deliverable platforms

Compensation & Benefits

The expected salary range for this role is $50,000–$70,000 per year. Final compensation will be determined based on experience, relevant skills, and demonstrated performance.

F5 Productions is an equal opportunity employer.
