Job Description
Senior Editor
Location: Costa Mesa (on-site)
Salary - $100,000 - $110,000
About the Role
We are partnering with a design and experiential agency to place a Senior Editor within their post-production team. This is not a seat-filler role. Our client produces premium brand work across video, live events, and integrated campaigns — and they need an editor who shapes stories, not just assembles cuts.
If you treat editing as a craft and hold yourself to a high standard across every frame, read on.
What You'll Do
- Lead edits from concept through finish — owning narrative structure, pacing, tone, performance, and emotional arc
- Contribute creative direction early in the process: concept hooks, story approaches, visual references
- Collaborate with producers and PMs; take ownership of keeping projects moving
- Execute finishing components including motion graphics (After Effects), typography, color (DaVinci Resolve or equivalent), music selection, sound design, and SFX polish
- Partner with production teams and external vendors; hold the line on input quality (footage, design, audio)
- Prep and QC deliverables for large-format LED screens and live event playback — non-standard resolutions, multi-screen formats, venue-specific specs
- Present work to clients confidently and translate feedback into creative solutions without losing the integrity of the work
What We're Looking For
- A reel/portfolio that demonstrates premium storytelling, visual taste, and craft
- Sharp editorial instincts with a working understanding of the full post pipeline
- Confidence owning creative decisions in front of both internal teams and clients
- High ownership, collaborative mindset — you raise the bar without making it about you
- Composure under pressure; solutions-oriented, not surprise-oriented
Required Skills
- Advanced proficiency in Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro
- Strong working knowledge of After Effects
- Excellent visual sensibility — design, typography, layout
- Solid color workflow fundamentals (DaVinci Resolve or comparable)
- Audio fundamentals: dialogue cleanup, mix balance, music and SFX integration
- Large-format deliverable experience: LED canvases, non-standard aspect ratios, safe zones, multi-output versions
Nice to Have
- Experience pitching creative concepts to clients
- Experience sourcing or leading shoots / working with production crews
- Experience collaborating with CGI/3D teams
- Live event post experience: ballrooms, conference stages, experiential installs, concerts
How to Apply
Please submit the following:
- Your reel/portfolio link
- A brief note on your role in 2–3 featured pieces (concept, edit, motion, color, sound, etc.)
