Responsibilities

• Own the cut: Take raw footage from first assembly to final delivery, making the editorial calls along the way instead of waiting for someone else to diagnose every problem.
• Find the story: Dig through client footage libraries, whatever the format, to pull the strongest moments and build them into ads that hold attention.
• Edit for every placement: Cut for social and CTV, delivering the hooks, lengths, and aspect ratios we need to test, where every second has to earn the next one.
• Explore, test, and take swings: If you see a stronger hook, a better structure, or a completely different way into the story, go for it. We want editors who are excited to push the creative, not just follow instructions.
• Collaborate and iterate: Work closely with your Strategy team and Lead Editor. Bring your own point of view, take feedback well, and push each round of the cut further.
• Shape the story before the shoot: Weigh in early on production concepts and give feedback to production teams on what needs to be captured so the edit works.
• Learn from performance: Use results to understand what's working, and bring that into the next round of creative.
• Use AI, don't fight it: Post is changing fast. Lean on new tools for the mechanical work so you spend more time on story and judgment.
• Make the process better: If you see the same problem happening over and over, help us fix the workflow instead of working around it.

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional video editing experience, ideally in advertising, branded content, or unscripted.
• A portfolio that shows strong pacing, structure, and editorial decision-making across a range of formats and tones.
• Expert-level Premiere Pro, with strong familiarity across the Adobe Creative Suite.
• A strong eye for graphics: you can build text, titles, and animations that keep the ad engaging and aligned with the client's brand and design goals.
• Story producer or editor-producer experience: you've built compelling stories from raw, unscripted footage.
• Comfort making fast calls on incomplete information across multiple projects at once.
• A collaborative approach: you bring a strong point of view and take feedback well.
• Based in Los Angeles and able to work from our studio at least 3 days a week.
