Lead Video Editor

American IT Systems is hiring a Lead Video Editor for their in-house media operation based in Tampa, FL. This role sits within the post-production workflow, responsible for cutting everything from B2B technical content and long-form interview edits to short-form social video with a cinematic, story-driven approach. It suits an editor with real production range, someone equally comfortable shaping a podcast highlight reel as they are building a narrative sequence from scratch.

About the Role

This is a senior individual contributor position embedded within an in-house content team, meaning the Lead Video Editor owns the post-production process from assembly to delivery without relying on an outside agency. The day-to-day spans editing interview and podcast content in both long-form and condensed formats, producing social-first cuts with strong hooks and deliberate pacing, and handling light production duties when original footage needs to be captured. The role demands someone who can run a full post-production workflow independently while keeping output consistent across formats.

Key Responsibilities

• Edit long-form interview and podcast content, including full-length episodes and condensed highlight cuts optimized for distribution.
• Cut short-form social edits with a cinematic sensibility, applying deliberate pacing, sound design, and color treatment to drive engagement.
• Operate camera, lighting, and audio equipment for in-house shoots when original production content is required.
• Manage the in-house media operation end-to-end, from ingest and organization through final export and delivery.
• Edit B2B and technical subject matter content in a way that remains visually compelling without losing clarity or accuracy.
• Maintain color consistency and audio quality across deliverables using DaVinci Resolve as the primary post-production tool.

What You Bring

• 3 to 5 years of experience in video editing and post-production, though portfolio quality carries more weight than title history.
• Fluency in DaVinci Resolve is preferred, with Premiere Pro accepted as an alternative for candidates with strong reel work.
• A portfolio that demonstrates both cinematic social editing and long-form interview or podcast post-production workflow.
• Hands-on production skills covering camera operation, audio capture, and lighting setups for small crew or solo shoots.
• Experience editing B2B or technical content for corporate or branded video contexts.

Why This Role

American IT Systems operates an in-house content studio, which means the Lead Video Editor has direct influence over how the brand’s video output looks and feels rather than executing someone else’s creative brief. For an editor who wants ownership over a full post-production pipeline without the instability of freelance project work, this is a staff position with that kind of scope built in. The Tampa location keeps this role on-site, which suits editors who work best in a consistent production environment.
