• Help evolve existing video franchises while identifying opportunities to develop new recurring series and formats.

Requirements:

• Proven experience editing high volume, digital first video content in a fast paced newsroom, entertainment, or media environment.

• Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, particularly Premiere Pro. Experience with After Effects and Photoshop strongly preferred.

• Experience editing with a combination of original footage, stock footage, archival assets, and social media content.

• Ability to create engaging horizontal and vertical videos optimized for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, X, and other digital platforms.

• Strong understanding of platform specific video formats, audience behaviors, and emerging digital video trends.
