Responsibilities

Portfolio Submission Requirements

Portfolios must be accessible via an active public website. Submissions via Google Drive are not accepted due to firm policy. Make sure candidates' work can be easily reviewed by the hiring manager

Content Style and Preferences

While a variety of editing backgrounds are valued, content should demonstrate strong narrative storytelling and not just short-form, quick-cut social videos (e.g., TikTok). NFL films-style editing, while impressive, is not the best fit unless it closely aligns with corporate storytelling needs

Strong preference for editors who have experience with corporate communications, marketing videos, interviews, documentaries, event recaps ("event sizzles"), and news-style packages

Team Culture and Soft Skills

The team prides itself on being highly collaborative; creative independence, open-mindedness, team spirit, and the ability to give and receive feedback are critical for success

Candidates who do not enjoy or function well in a collaborative, team-driven environment are unlikely to thrive

Ability to handle feedback from multiple stakeholders and adapt creative vision as needed for broader team and client needs is crucial

Client Interactions

+ Editors should be prepared to sometimes work directly with internal or external clients. Excellent interpersonal skills and a positive, client-centric approach were strongly emphasized

+ The ideal candidate balances technical "genius" with genuine people skills and a service mindset

Remote/Hybrid Specifics

+ While formally listed as hybrid, the day-to-day reality for most projects is fully remote, with occasional in-office work as business needs arise

Interview Process

+ The process involves two interview rounds followed by a third round where candidates present a piece of their work and discuss their creative process

+ Expect specific questions around storytelling, content choice, and project outcomes rather than just technical proficiency
