As a Video Editor at Team5pm you will be involved in a production at an early stage. During the project you will work closely with our producers, creatives and other editors. You are informed from the very first kick-off meeting. Outside of the actual editing itself, you monitor the progress and communicate with your team. With clients with whom we have a long-term relationship, you gain insight into how well your edits perform. How did the video score? Which thumbnail worked well?

You will be part of an energetic team and work with great colleagues. We like to have a drink at our bar. We don’t like to stand still, but we do like to dwell on our successes.

The success of Team5pm is directly dependent on your development, we believe in that. There is plenty of room for feedback and personal growth. Development is not optional with us: we expect you to be eager to take steps.
