Video Editor

This is an hourly contractor role with a guaranteed minimum of 20 hours per week for an initial three-month term, with the potential to grow into a full-time role for the right fit. Local to the Tri-Cities is preferred (in-person or hybrid); remote candidates considered.

Responsibilities

• Edit videos in Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro from provided footage, master edits, and project specs

• Turn client revisions around accurately and on time
• Export and deliver final videos to established technical specs, naming conventions, and delivery locations
• Utilize our project management software, Asana, to communicate statuses, deadlines, file links, and notes
• Follow our folder structure, file naming, and version control standards, and archive completed projects so any editor can pick them up
• Run a quality-control check on every deliverable before it goes out
• Communicate proactively: flag missing assets, unclear instructions, or timeline risks before they become delays

Requirements

• Strong proficiency in Final Cut Pro or Premiere Pro, with the ability to work at some level in both programs
• Professional editing experience (product, commercial, instructional, or social content)
• Exceptional organization (files and projects) and attention to detail across a high volume of similar projects
• Self-directed: able to manage multiple projects and meet deadlines without day-to-day supervision
• Professional, responsive communication with our team
• Comfortable using Google Docs and Google Sheets

Nice to Have

• Experience with recurring agency clients and managing client revisions
• Comfortable working in Adobe After Effects for motion-based projects and templates
• Experience working within a creative team
• Basic IT knowledge as it applies to video servers and files
• Familiarity with captioning, video codecs, audio editing/mixing, Adobe Photoshop, and Illustrator

Schedule

• Guaranteed minimum of 20 hours per week for an initial three-month term, billed hourly
• Hours above the minimum vary with project volume and bill at the same rate
• After the initial term, the engagement continues month-to-month
• Reasonably available to complete projects within expected turnaround times, with availability and scheduling conflicts communicated in advance
