Film Editor

Job Description

A global retail brand is seeking a Mid-Level Video Editor to support the creation of premium social and digital content across brand, athlete, creator, and campaign storytelling initiatives. This editor will be responsible for transforming both highly produced footage and raw, unscripted content into compelling narrative-driven stories optimized for social channels. A typical day will involve reviewing footage from campaigns, creators, athletes, interviews, and documentary-style shoots to identify the strongest story moments. This person will craft edits that leverage pacing, performance, music, sound, and sequencing to create emotional, engaging content while maintaining a premium visual aesthetic. Rather than simply shortening existing content, they will be expected to find new narratives and create original social stories from existing footage. This editor will partner closely with producers, creatives, marketing teams, and cinematographers to execute content that aligns with brand storytelling goals. They will manage multiple projects simultaneously, balancing planned content with quick-turn requests that come from an always-on social environment. The ideal candidate comes from a storytelling-focused background and demonstrates strong editorial judgment, creative restraint, and exceptional taste. Success in this role requires the ability to build emotion and momentum through story structure, imagery, music, and performance rather than relying on heavy effects, trend-based editing, or rapid-cut techniques. The goal is to create impactful, culturally relevant content that elevates the brand while maintaining the authenticity of the story being told.
