• Partner with creative and cross-functional stakeholders to translate briefs and feedback into clear, high-quality work.
• Maintain organized project files and efficient editing workflows while delivering under fast-moving timelines.

• Excellent instincts for pacing, timing, music, sound design, emotion, and visual storytelling across formats.
• A high standard for detail and the ability to deliver quickly without compromising quality.
• Clear communication, sound creative judgment, and comfort incorporating feedback while owning the final edit.
• Comfort working in a fast-paced startup environment with shifting priorities and high visibility work.

Bonus
• Experience filming or directing shoots.
