In this Senior Video Editor position, you’ll cut together amazing advertising content. This is a role where you’ll partner with a global team in producing top quality content for one of the world’s most recognizable technology brands. If your eye for detail and whether a shot should be extended by just one frame is beyond compare, we’d love to see your portfolio. Additionally, our ideal candidate is a fast and flexible go-getter who jumps on new opportunities.

About the Role

As part of our renowned post-production team, you’ll work alongside our in‑house colorists, VFX artists and sound designers to edit all kinds of work for top‑notch brands.
Together with our clients and producers you translate raw footage into spot‑on edits, actualizing the creative vision for the project only making it look even better than they could have ever imagined.
You’ll cut your way through terabytes of footage in search of the perfect edit for TVCs, interactive films, VR and 360 projects, and more.
We’ll also look for your help in producing case videos of our projects, which includes making captures that truly capture the essence of our (interactive) projects.

About You

You’re a passionate storyteller and team player, willing to go the extra mile to create award winning content. You’ve worked on many short format projects and have a portfolio that we can immediately sell to our clients.

Requirements

• You have 5+ years of professional experience working as an editor of creative work.
• You can create spot‑on edits for TVC­s, social‑first content, and other types of linear work.
• You have experience editing nonlinear work for interactive films.
• You have premier Adobe Premiere skills and can also work with After Effects and Photoshop.
• You are proficient in integrating AI video tools into your workflow to optimize processes, generate assets, or enhance footage (e.g., Runway, Luma Dream Machine, Sora, Pika, Topaz Video AI).
• You know how to leverage native AI features within the Adobe Creative Cloud (e.g., Premiere’s Text‑Based Editing, Generative Fill, AI audio enhancement, and auto‑reframing).
• Familiarity with prompt engineering for asset generation or storyboarding (Gemini, Nano Banana, Veo) is a big plus.
• You can take care of simple animations, designs and (transition) effects.
• You can do the heavy lifting of the offline edit, as well as the nitty‑gritty of getting the online perfect.
• If you also know your way around editing 360/spatial videos, you’re awesome all‑around.
• You carry a solid understanding of the entire production process, evidenced by edits that seamlessly fit into the post‑production pipeline.
• In addition to editing, you also know about color grading to enhance edits or prep them for client reviews.
• The same goes for experience with rendering edits for the web and/or compositing software.
• Finally, you’re a well‑organized team player who’s great with clients and colleagues alike but can also work independently with little guidance.
