  • Edit the full video (story cut, pacing, emotion, etc.) with a strong narrative instinct
  • Add light color correction, sound design, and basic polish to elevate the final product
  • Collaborate with a small but mighty team to create high-quality content fast
  • Own the creative vision from concept to completion


WHAT YOU BRING:
  • 3+ years of experience directing, shooting, and editing narrative or branded video content
  • Strong eye for cinematic visuals and storytelling
  • Experience working with actors and pulling great performances
  • Fast and efficient editor, Premiere, Final Cut, or similar
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, mission-driven creative environment
  • Positive, collaborative attitude-able to stay cool and focused under pressure
  • Social-first mindset and bonus points if your past work has gone viral

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT:
