Role

The Senior Video Editor exists to produce high-quality content while setting the editorial standard for the entire editing team. This is a player-coach role where you are responsible for both your own output and the quality of everything that ships.

You are actively editing across long-form and short-form content while also reviewing cuts, giving feedback, and guiding editors through creative and workflow challenges. Your work sets the bar. The team follows it.

You lead the development of new shows from an editorial perspective. You define pacing, tone, structure, and visual identity, then translate that into clear standards the team can execute against.

This role reports to the Director of Post-Production and directly supports the performance, consistency, and growth of the editing team.
Responsibilities

  • Edit and deliver long-form and short-form content at a high standard, consistently meeting deadlines across multiple projects
  • Define and document the editorial style, pacing, and structure for new shows, including templates and repeatable frameworks
  • Review editor cuts and provide clear, actionable feedback that improves quality and reduces revision cycles
  • Act as the first point of escalation for editors on creative decisions, pacing challenges, and technical issues
  • Mentor and develop editors through direct feedback, skill-building, and ongoing performance guidance

Requirements

  • 7+ years of professional video editing experience across both long-form and short-form content

  • Experience building or defining the creative direction for shows, series, or repeatable content formats
  • High proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and comfort working within structured post-production workflows
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to give direct, constructive feedback and hold quality standards

Results

  • Content is delivered on time with consistent quality across all formats and platforms
  • Revision cycles decrease over time as editors improve and standards become clearer
  • Every new show has a defined and documented editorial style before scaling production
  • Editing workflows are followed consistently with clean files and zero breakdowns in handoffs
  • Editors demonstrate measurable skill growth and require less oversight over time
  • The overall quality and consistency of content improves across the entire editing team

  • Must be available for regular collaboration with the post-production team
  • Flexibility required based on production timelines and high-priority releases
