Podcast Video Editor

About the role

The Vox Media Podcast Network is looking for a Video Editor to support its slate of news and culture shows, working across full-length episodes and shoulder content (including quote cards, clips, and behind-the-scenes videos). The ideal candidate is meticulous and fast as a technical editor, understands how podcasts move through the modern media ecosystem, and has a strong sense of visual style along with a portfolio of conceptually bold work.

What You’ll Do

• Execute the editing and visual post-production for full-length podcast episodes distributed on YouTube and video platforms.
• Translate the personality and pacing of digital creators' shortform videos into a distinct and elevated podcast aesthetic.
• Design and integrate dynamic motion graphics, lower thirds, captions, and visual cues that enhance narrative and tone.
• Ensure consistent visual branding through smart use of color, typography, and layout across both longform and shortform edits.
• Implement split-screen layouts, on-screen text, varied pacing and punch-ins, and other techniques that keep conversations visually engaging and viewer-friendly.
• Address mixed-location interviews (e.g., Zoom + studio) with creativity — ensuring cohesion and polish across footage types.
• Collaborate with hosts, producers, and showrunners to iterate quickly and deliver high-quality video content on a regular schedule.
• Source and incorporate archival video or social content where relevant to deepen storytelling.
• Stay ahead of podcast video trends and contribute ideas that push visual strategy forward.

What You'll Bring

• 5+ years of experience in podcast or social video production for a media brand or individual talent.
• Fluency with Premiere Pro, Final Cut, or other video editing programs. Experience with motion design a plus.
• A keen eye for identifying the planned editing flow during a recording, a well-honed sense of pacing out a show/story arc, and ability to apply these skills on tight deadlines.
• A portfolio that showcases your ability to shape voice, tone, and rhythm.
• Comfort integrating motion graphics, typography and on-screen text to enhance clarity, emphasis, or humor.
• Experience with multi-camera editing and visual storytelling techniques like split-screens, overlays, and animated inserts.
• Ability to maintain brand consistency while experimenting with new formats and storytelling angles.
• Passion for building a visual language that lives across platforms in collaboration with varied groups of creative stakeholders.
• Deep knowledge of the social media landscape and excitement about evolving podcasts as dynamic, multiplatform media products.
