Responsibilities

- Juggle multiple, competing deadlines in a fast-paced environment where schedules shift based on the news cycle and celebrity events.
- Prioritize real, human moments and sharp commentary over high-gloss artifice in edits.
- Deliver polished exports optimized for 9:16, 4:5, and 1:1 ratios, ensuring perfect framing and text placement for each platform.
Requirements
- 2+ years of experience editing social-first video content with a portfolio showing high engagement and views.
- Expert-level proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro, demonstrating speed, organization, and technical efficiency.
