Our team embraces the opportunity to learn new tools and software that can improve the quality of our videos and open up new creative possibilities in our editing.

Shooter/editors here are not just hands on keyboards executing notes from a producer. We don’t only welcome your input, but at times need it. We include shooter/editors in the scripting and pre-production process to to get the best possible outcomes in post.

• Partnering with producers to craft story, tone of voice, and visual direction

• Music selection, sound design, basic color correction and audio leveling

• Working and coordinating with motion graphics designers to most efficiently incorporate their animations into edits

• We have a fantastic motion graphics team, but we love it when an editor can quickly put together some basic keyframing motion, text on screen moments, and incorporate some RedGiant effects to create some basic vfx looks

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

• 4+ years of editing experience in Adobe Premiere Pro

• 4+ years of shooting experience, preferably with some experience in field or verite style shooting

• Must have experience working on content made specifically for Youtube and social video platforms

• Basic proficiency in After Effects or Photoshop is a nice-to-have

• Ability to be scrappy in Premiere when creating graphics and text elements

• Comfortable managing multiple projects at a time

• Can edit for humor and can edit for dense explainers, sometimes in the same video

• You consume Youtube content and are aware of trends and common/best practices for the platform

• You can regularly work from our office in Manhattan

BRIEF BREW HISTORY

Morning Brew Inc. was founded in 2015 by two entrepreneurial college students who noticed their peers were not consuming legacy media resources about business and finance news, but had a high desire to learn about those topics. What started as a small on-campus email has since evolved into a multi-channel media company that operates 20+ unique content franchises. All while maintaining our witty, honest and engaging tone that millions of loyal MBI audience members rely upon daily to better navigate the world.

In 2020 a majority stake in MBI was acquired by Axel Springer SE and in February 2025 that position was increased to full ownership of the business. Axel Springer SE is a family-owned, transatlantic media company headquartered in Berlin and New York that is committed to the values of a free and informed society.
