We’re looking for a motivated Freelance Video Editor at a junior–mid level to support

our internal communications multimedia team. This role is ideal for an editor who has

moved beyond assistant editor work and is ready to take ownership of edits—while still

growing their craft under the guidance of experienced producers and editors.

in Adobe Premiere Pro, with opportunities to develop your skills across storytelling,

pacing, and post-production workflows.

  • Assemble interviews, b-roll, and social-style content into polished edits
  • Implement notes and feedback efficiently and accurately
  • Organize and manage project files and media within established workflows
  • Apply basic color correction, audio cleanup, and graphics as needed
  • Support multiple projects while meeting deadlines
  • Follow brand, messaging, and accessibility standards


Required Qualifications

  • Working proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro
  • Experience editing video independently (beyond assistant editor responsibilities)
  • Strong sense of pacing, structure, and visual storytelling
  • Ability to receive and apply feedback in a collaborative environment
  • Organized, reliable, and detail-oriented
  • Comfortable working with internal stakeholders and clear guidelines


Nice-to-Have Experience

  • Familiarity with AI-assisted editing tools or workflows (e.g., transcription, rough cuts, captioning, media organization)
  • Experience editing content for internal or corporate audiences
  • Basic knowledge of After Effects or motion graphics
  • Experience with social or short-form video edits
  • Understanding of accessibility best practices (captions, audio clarity)
