Page Six provides readers with the best in Pop Culture and Entertainment – with signature wit, irreverence and authority averaging 25 million unique viewers a month. For the past 220 years, The Post has evolved into a multi-platform media company spanning print, digital, video, audio, app, television and commerce.

The Page Six video team is seeking a Video Editor for a new state of the art studio who will help us make existing series and compelling, shareable videos about gossip, celebrities, and fashion – subjects that are the mainstay of the nation’s most iconic gossip column. You should love celebrity journalism and possess deep knowledge about the latest celebrity gossip, feuds, scandals and hookups. You should live and breathe celebrity lifestyle, fashion and social media, with your fingers on the pulse.

You’ll work in an extremely fast-paced environment enabling producers to hit production targets and goals. You will assist on dozens of videos throughout the day, taking lead from the producers and studio technical director.

You must edit fast and with a flourish. Expertise with key products in Adobe Creative Suite (Premiere, Photoshop, After Effects) as well as Adobe graphic templates. You’ll edit videos for digital platforms using a mix of original footage, stock footage and social media content.

Along with editing digitally-native short-form video, you will help generate our content, pitching video ideas daily and contributing to the team brainstorming. We seek a candidate who is excited about new types of multimedia storytelling and has a track record of creating digital video in a fast-paced news organization. Must be aware of the latest formats and trends in digital video as a distinct form of content versus television.

This is a fast-paced job that requires a love of all things celebrity, a strong editorial sense and the ability to stay organized while multitasking. Like us, you believe news doesn’t have to be boring and you appreciate the odd and unconventional stories as well as important ones.

This is an opportunity to work with an iconic media brand as it experiences exponential digital growth. New York Post and Page Six videos have received more than a billion views in the past few years.

Note: This is a five day in office a week job.

The ideal candidate will have:

• 1-2 years experience editing short form celebrity videos for digital outlets
• Expertise with Adobe Creative Suite, specifically Premiere
• Knowledge of studio and control room operations
• Ability to color correct and mix audio
• Be able to work very quickly under pressure
• Pitch video ideas daily and contribute to team brainstorming
• Experience with multicam editing
• Motion graphics experience a plus as is simple animation, but not necessary
• Ability to select and use music to match the tone and style of the story
• Must be organized, work well in a fast-paced environment and be a team-player
• Can-do attitude is key: someone who believes news doesn’t have to be boring and who appreciates the odd and unconventional stories as well as important ones
• Open to working evenings and weekends, on rare cases if required
• Experience working autonomously in a fast-paced newsroom environment on weekly deadlines

NEEDS:

• Resume, link to editing reel and cover letter

Salary Range: $31,200 – $125,000
