Senior Video Editor

About the Role

Requirements

• What our client is looking for
• At least four years of professional video-editing experience
• Advanced proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro
• A portfolio containing exceptional long-form work
• Demonstrated experience with YouTube videos, interviews, testimonials, brand films, commercial content, or documentary-style storytelling
• The ability to turn unstructured footage into a clear and compelling narrative
• Strong judgment around pacing, music, B-roll, color, sound, and emotional tone
• A clear understanding of the goal behind each video and the response it should create in the audience
• Confidence making creative and structural decisions without needing every cut prescribed
• High professional standards and exceptional attention to detail
• The ability to receive detailed feedback from a highly experienced editor and apply it constructively
• Excellent written and spoken English
• Reliable communication, organization, and deadline management
• A computer capable of handling professional footage and large Premiere Pro projects
• Fast, reliable internet and sufficient local storage for large media files
• Full availability during U.S. business hours
• Experience with After Effects, motion graphics, Adobe Photoshop, or DaVinci Resolve is valuable but secondary to storytelling ability and Premiere Pro expertise.
• Portfolio Expectation
• Your portfolio must include at least one complete long-form project that represents the best work you have produced.
• Short-form reels, compilations, and rapid social edits alone will not be considered sufficient. Our client wants to evaluate your ability to build and sustain a story—not simply create a collection of visually impressive moments.
• You should be prepared to discuss the editorial decisions behind your work, including:
• How you found and structured the story
• Why you made specific pacing decisions
• How you selected and placed B-roll
• Why the music and sound design fit the piece
• What the video was intended to make its audience understand, feel, or do
• Selection Process
• Because our client has extensive professional editing experience and a high quality bar, shortlisted candidates will complete a practical editing assessment using footage supplied by the client.
• The assessment will evaluate storytelling, structure, pacing, music selection, B-roll usage, technical execution, attention to detail, and the reasoning behind your editorial choices.
• This is a long-term opportunity for a serious editor who takes pride in the craft, welcomes thoughtful creative feedback, and wants to produce work at a genuinely professional standard.
