Orveon is a new kind of beauty company on a powerful mission: to change the way the world thinks about beauty. We dare to do things differently - pushing boundaries with purpose, inspiring creativity, and moving with intention in everything we do.

• Support visual effects, compositing, and audio leveling under the guidance of senior editors
• Keep project files organized and manage storage workflows across shared drives and cloud platforms
• Export, encode, and deliver final videos in multiple aspect ratios and codecs optimized for social and digital platforms
• Handle multiple projects, meet deadlines, and help oversee the production process
• Manage revisions, versioning, and delivery according to specs and client and brand feedback
• Collaborate with creative and production teams to ensure consistency with brand standards
• Troubleshoot common post-production issues and assist with software/hardware setup when needed
• Stay up to date on emerging editing tools, platform requirements, and content best practices
Requirements
• 2-5 years of hands-on video editing, post-production, and/or motion design experience (internships and freelance work welcome)
• Bachelor's degree in a related field preferred
• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects; Adobe Photoshop / Creative Suite a plus
• Strong understanding of video codecs, terminology, color grading, visual effects, motion graphics, and post-production workflows
• A robust portfolio demonstrating storytelling, technical skill, and a command of design principles - typography, color theory, and composition
• Strong organizational, project, and file management skills with sharp attention to detail and a critical eye for quality
• Working knowledge of AI-driven design tools and techniques
• Collaborative mindset with strong communication skills and an eagerness to learn and grow from feedback
• Ability to adapt to changing technologies and industry trends
• Strong creative sensibility with a finger on the pulse of beauty and fashion marketing trends
• Passion for culture, social media, and content that captures attention
Preferred / Nice to Have
• Experience editing video for beauty, cosmetics, or other consumer-packaged-goods brands
