Job description

Reports to Video Producer / Editor (Lead)

Location Dallas · partially remote

Schedule Flexible editing hours + some presence at programs

About the Role

Roots is looking for a part-time Video Editor to work alongside our Video Producer / Editor (Lead), turning what we capture into finished pieces that ship. You'll cut short-form and reels, take on overflow edits when volume spikes, and serve as real backup so the pipeline never depends on a single person.

This role exists because of ta'awun: no one carries their work alone. Our video volume is not steady, it surges around programs, the podcast, and events. Without a second pair of hands, everything queues behind one person and good footage dies on a drive. You are the reason that doesn't happen.

You are not the one setting the standard here; the video lead is. That is meant to be freeing. It lets you focus on the craft of the edit itself, working to a bar someone else holds, with real room to grow into more over time. What we ask is that the work you touch makes it all the way out (itqaan): shot, cut, exported, and live.

This is a part-time, flexible role. You and the video lead set your editing hours together, and the weeks around programs and podcast recordings are the busy ones.

What You'll Own

• The edits. Short-form content — reels, clips, and social video — cut from program and podcast footage, to the standard the video lead sets.
• Overflow capacity. The extra pair of hands when volume spikes around programs and events.
• Backup and continuity. Real backup for the video lead, so the pipeline holds when they're stretched or away.
• Organized handoffs. Clean project files, sensible naming, and reliable exports anyone on the team can pick up.
