Job Description

We’re looking for an individual who loves to tell a good story, and who can push the envelope of how it’s told. As a  Video Editor , you will join the POOLHOUSE Post-Production department in working with footage, dialogue, music, sound effects and motion graphics to tell the stories of companies, causes and candidates. We know that the story is more than just what’s being said, it’s how something looks and feels. That’s why we need you to care as much about the visuals as the narrative. At the core, your responsibility is to design content that’s shareable, memorable and visually stunning. You will also take the reins on leading our team of editors to enhance their creative potential. The ideal candidate for this role is not only someone who demonstrates seasoned post production skills, but also someone who carries the willingness to lead by example and push all creative boundaries.

  • Manage daily post-production workflows, ensuring seamless operation and timely completion of multiple concurrent projects.
  • Collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams to clearly understand project scope, manage challenges proactively, and deliver assets on schedule.
  • Continuously refine and optimize internal post-production processes for enhanced efficiency, creativity, and output quality.
  • Interpret creative briefs accurately and deliver impactful videos meeting creative vision and technical requirements.
  • Prepare and deliver final video content conforming precisely to client or broadcaster specifications.
  • Actively participate in and lead daily production meetings, ensuring synchronization of team efforts, task allocation, and timely project progress.
  • Leverage AI-driven video editing tools to enhance productivity, creative possibilities, and workflow efficiency.
Requirements:
  • Expert-level proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro, Lightroom, and Media Encoder.
  • Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, especially After Effects, with the ability to independently design and animate title sequences, lower thirds, end cards, and dynamic graphics.
  • Minimum of 6 years professional experience in post-production environments.
  • Proven ability to seamlessly mix audio and music tracks, and incorporate motion graphics, text elements, animations, and compositing.
  • Strong project management skills with the capability to handle multiple simultaneous projects and teams effectively.
  • High adaptability to work efficiently in ambiguous, fast-paced environments with teams across multiple locations.
  • Exceptional attention to detail, a refined aesthetic sense, and a keen eye for composition, typography, and color.
  • Capacity to embrace and interpret creative direction while contributing original ideas and perspectives.

Application Requirements:

  • A demo reel of your best and brightest– we are really looking for work that best defines your skills as an editor. Personal projects and work are great.
  • A portfolio, website, Vimeo, etc. of your work and what your credits for those projects are
  • Applications without a demo reel will not be considered

Benefits:

  • Competitive salary based on industry standards
  • A collaborative and creative work environment
  • 100% employer covered medical, dental and vision insurance
  • 100% employer covered medical for dependents
