Job description

The Sr. Video Editor is the guardian of our creative output. Your mission is to define, maintain, and scale the quality standards across all client accounts. This is a highly specialized role focused on technical excellence, standards, and mentorship. As the final gatekeeper of our work, you ensure every edit meets the "gold standard" before it is delivered, making quality repeatable and consistent through robust systems and a rigorous review process.

Key Responsibilities

• Editorial Standards & Systems: Create and maintain comprehensive client style kits (pacing, captions, effects, structure). Build and manage reusable templates to increase team throughput without sacrificing craft.
• The Final Gate: Own the final pass/fail decision for all projects. You have the final authority on whether an edit meets the brand standard.
• Quality Control (QC): Execute technical and creative reviews within fixed daily windows to ensure a predictable and efficient production heartbeat.
• Editorial Coaching: Deliver precise, timestamped notes and "gold standard" examples to editors and contractors to foster continuous improvement.
• Process Evolution: Identify recurring failure patterns in edits and proactively update agency-wide standards to prevent future issues.

Workflow & Collaboration

• Cross-Functional Alignment: Partner with the Editing Project Manager on feasibility and the Production Creative Director to ensure shotlist alignment.
• Strategic Input: Collaborate with the Media Strategy Director on format constraints and performance-winning tactics.
• Decision Rights: You own QC requirements and hold veto power over editor assignments if the talent's style does not align with a client’s specific aesthetic.
• Direct Escalation: You serve as the primary contact for quality risks, with a direct line to the CEO/Leadership when quality standards conflict with project scope or timelines.

Technical Excellence

• Systems Architecture: Develop and implement standardized motion graphics workflows and LUTs for team-wide use.
• High-Level Finishing: Oversee the finishing process end-to-end, including color correction, graphics integration, and audio leveling to ensure flawless output.
• SOP Management: Adhere to and enforce internal SOPs for project naming conventions, folder structures, and archival hygiene.

Required Skills & Experience

• Experience: Proven track record in a senior-level editing role, ideally within a creative agency or studio environment.
• Software Mastery: Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud (Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop). Familiarity with LucidLink, Frame.io, or similar collaboration tools is a plus.
• Leadership: Demonstrated ability to provide clear creative direction and technical guidance to other editors.
• Detail-Oriented: A meticulous eye for pacing, tone, and technical specifications (codecs, frame rates, and resolutions).

Success Metrics

• First-Pass Approval: Increase the rate of contractor edits that pass review on the first attempt.
• Revision Reduction: Decrease major revision rates caused by editorial quality issues.
• SLA Adherence: Maintain a 95%+ on-time review rate within established daily windows.
• Feedback Clarity: Maintain high consistency and clarity in feedback notes to minimize editor friction.

Core Values

• Quality Ownership: You take pride in being the final line of defense for the brand.
• Solutions-First Mindset: You identify risks early and bring solutions to the table.
• Educational Spirit: You enjoy mentoring others and helping them reach the "gold standard."
• Focused Craft: You thrive in a role that removes administrative distractions (staffing, billing, scheduling) to focus entirely on the work.

What We Offer

• Performance Bonuses: Incentives tied to quality and efficiency targets.
• Benefits: 401(k) with company match.
• Growth: Professional development opportunities and a collaborative creative environment.
• Tools: State-of-the‑art editing equipment and the latest software.

To Apply

• Please submit your resume, a portfolio/reel showcasing various editing styles, and a brief explanation of your approach to replicating and systematizing client brand styles.
