Note: This role is remote/virtual. East Coast-based is preferred but not required!

• Edit high-quality, engaging long-form YouTube and digital content from rough cut through final delivery.
• Shape compelling stories through strong pacing, structure, visuals, sound design, and creative decision-making.
• Lead and provide creative direction to editors on assigned projects while maintaining a consistent quality standard.
• Collaborate with producers and production teams to incorporate feedback and bring creative visions to life.
• Create and integrate motion graphics, visual effects, color correction, and other finishing elements using Adobe Premiere, After Effects, and Photoshop.
• Manage multiple projects and deadlines while mentoring editors and maintaining a high standard of creative and technical quality.

What You’ll Bring

• 3-5+ years of professional editing experience
• Expertise in the Adobe suite (specifically Premiere and After Effects)
• Experience leading or managing other editors or creatives
• Strong storytelling instincts, with a deep understanding of pacing, structure, and retention for YouTube
• Fantastic attention to detail, especially when it relates to anything post-production
• Ability to make complex 2D graphics that elevate stories and videos
• Great organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple projects and timelines with ease
• A collaborative attitude and understanding of how to balance different perspectives on a team
• A degree in film, video production, or a related field (preferred but not required)

• Competitive salary
• Generous medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) plan–company matching
• Flexible vacation policy and paid company holidays
• Company-provided technology package
