Job description

Forge Relations is a full-service marketing agency built within the firearms, defense, and outdoor industry. We operate as our clients' marketing department, just not in the office next door.

We embed ourselves so deeply into each brand's culture and voice that every video we cut is the brand.

We are a tight team that works hard, moves fast, thrives in controlled chaos, and believes ownership is non-negotiable.

The Job at a Glance

• You take raw footage and turn it into a finished video: cut, color, sound, and motion graphics, start to finish
• You work across Forge's full client roster, from monthly retainer content to major launches
• You use AI tools to work faster and raise the bar on your output, not to cut corners
• You know how content paces and trends on social media, and you cut with that in mind
• You move fast, manage your own time, and aren\'t afraid to speak up with a better idea
• You report to Forge's production and editing leadership, inside a pipeline that does not wait around

You own the edit, start to finish.

Role Overview

This role owns post-production execution end to end. No handoffs, no waiting on another department to finish what you started.

What You Will Own

• Video assembly on every project you're assigned
• Color grading, sound design, and mixing on your own cuts
• Motion graphics and overlays that meet Forge and client brand standards
• Turnaround on retainer deliverables and launch content
• Your own project organization inside Forge's file and review systems

Key Responsibilities

Editing

• Assemble raw footage into finished long-form and short-form video across the client roster
• Cut for pacing, story, and platform trends, not just technical correctness
• Work primarily in DaVinci Resolve, using AI-assisted tools wherever they genuinely save time
• Manage multiple projects and deadlines at once without quality loss

Color, Sound, and Motion Graphics

• Color grade every project to a finished, client-ready standard
• Design and mix audio, including music, sound effects, and dialogue cleanup
• Build motion graphics and overlays: lower thirds, titles, callouts, and brand elements

Client and Team Coordination

• Work from Forge's brand standards and creative direction on every project
• Take feedback and turn revisions around fast

Requirements

• 3 to 5 years of professional video editing experience
• Strong working knowledge of DaVinci Resolve
• Able to close out a full project solo, not just your piece of it
• Strong sense of pacing and story, with a real handle on social media trends and platform conventions
• Actively invested in learning AI-powered editing tools
• Experience or working knowledge of firearms preferred
• Self-directed and able to perform in an extremely fast-paced agency environment
• Comfortable speaking up with ideas, not just executing what's handed to you
• Reel or portfolio required

Ideal Candidate

• Real-world firearms or outdoor industry experience or familiarity
• Already builds AI tools into your workflow and can show what that looks like
• Experience with Frame.io or similar review tools
• Background in an agency or high-volume production environment
