Job description
Join to apply for the Video Editor role at Uncharted Film Co.
At Uncharted Film Co., we believe every brand has a story worth telling. Based in Jackson, Michigan, we’re a growing video production agency creating cinematic, story-driven films that help brands connect with their audiences in meaningful ways. Over the past 7 years, we’ve grown from a single filmmaker into a small but mighty creative team serving businesses, nonprofits, and organizations across the country. Our work spans brand films, case studies, culture content, podcasts, and social media storytelling — always with an emphasis on quality, creativity, and impact. We value collaboration, excellence, and continuous growth. Joining Uncharted means being part of a tight-knit, ambitious team that thrives on feedback, learning, and shared success.
We’re looking for a Video Editor to join our team and take ownership of editing across a variety of projects — from brand films to social clips. This is a contract-to-hire role (30–90 days), transitioning into full-time employment.
Location: Our ideal candidate is in-person in Jackson, MI, but we are setup for and open to remote or hybrid editors if it's a great fit.
- Edit branded films, interviews, podcasts, and social media content.
- Incorporate client and internal feedback efficiently, minimizing revision cycles.
- Shape raw footage into polished, compelling stories that reflect our cinematic style.
- Manage projects in tools like Adobe Premiere Pro, LucidLink, and ClickUp.
- Grow into a collaborative team member who actively contributes ideas and feedback.
- Projects are delivered on time with high quality and minimal errors.
- You free leadership from day-to-day editing so they can focus on growth and creative direction.
- You actively learn, improve your craft, and contribute creatively in team discussions.
- Strong proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro.
- Solid grasp of pacing, audio balance, and storytelling.
- Detail-oriented with strong organizational skills.
- Experience with DaVinci Resolve (color grading).
- Familiarity with LucidLink, Dropbox Replay, and ClickUp.
- Short-form content creation for social media.
- Interest in motion graphics and design.
- You’re detail-driven and passionate about storytelling.
- You thrive in collaboration and enjoy sharing creative ideas.
- You seek feedback and use it to grow.
- You want to be part of a small, ambitious team where your work makes an impact.
Pay: $20–$25/hr (depending on experience). Contract-to-hire.
PTO: 10 days in the first year, increasing up to 15 days after a year, plus holidays.
Flexible Hours: Work-life balance built into our culture.
Professional Development: Time and resources for courses and skill-building.
Creative Freedom: Opportunities to work on passion projects, like documentaries and short films, with a growing, passionate, and tight-knit team.
Modern Tools: Access to Adobe Suite, DaVinci, LucidLink, ClickUp, Dropbox Replay, and more.
We believe in a fair and transparent process. Here’s what to expect:
- Application: Fill out our application form using the link below, complete with your resume and sample work (demo reel and portfolio preferred).
- Screening: We’ll review resumes, work, and applications against our role criteria.
- Interviews: Selected candidates will be asked to join our team on a call, or in person, to better get to know each other and ask questions.
- Paid Trial Project: Selected candidates will complete a real editing project (paid) to showcase their skills in storytelling, detail, and revision handling.
- Contract-to-Hire Period (30–90 days): If chosen, you’ll join us as a contract editor while we mutually evaluate fit, collaboration, and impact on real client projects.
- Full-Time Hire: If it's a good fit, we'll transition into a full-time Video Editor role.
