-
Edit video content in Adobe Premiere Pro across a range of styles and formats
-
Design and animate clean, engaging motion graphics (2D text, iconography, brand elements, etc.) in After Effects
-
Sync and organize footage, manage timelines, and prep final exports
-
Take the lead on smaller edits and bring them from rough cut to final delivery
-
QC your own work to ensure professional, polished output every time

Comfortable designing and animating 2D motion graphics
-
Comfort with light color correction and audio mixing
-
Familiarity with Adobe Photoshop
-
Knowledge of codecs, frame rates, formats, and post workflows
-
Highly organized, especially with file management and version control
-
Experience working without an assistant editor (you know how to organize your own footage)
-
Comfortable taking initiative and working independently on edits
-
Able to adapt to a wide range of timelines—from same-day edits to multi-month campaigns
-
Bachelor’s degree in Film, Media, Communications or similar preferred
-
Reliable editing-capable computer and high-speed internet
Nice to Haves:
-
Familiarity with Illustrator, Audition, and Mocha
-
Interest in design, branding, or logo animation
