Job description

Brand Apart is looking for a Senior Creative Video Editor to join our growing team. This role is for someone developed well beyond the fundamentals of editing — you know the rules of storytelling, and you know when to break them. Your cuts are intuitive, you have a unique creative perspective, and you're able to understand and abide by the brand guidelines of our clients. Our editors see an edit through from beginning to end, partnering closely with producers, occasionally interfacing with clients, and collaborating with outside post-production contractors. Above all, we're looking for a great team player who is self-motivated and leverages their skillset for the sake of the team.
_Primary Purpose
The Senior Creative Video Editor's primary responsibility is to deliver exceptional, story-rich edits across Brand Apart's diverse range of video projects — from human interest stories and brand anthems to conference openers, event recaps, music videos, and more.
_Responsibilities
_ Reports to the Head of Post Production and collaborates closely with producers, clients, and outside post-production contractors.
_ Edits projects with proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects, applying strong story structure, pacing, and emotional tone to every cut.
_ Handles color correction, audio mixing, and sound design; familiar with Illustrator, Audition, and similar tools to support the edit.
_ Contributes to creative direction and concepting across assigned projects.
_ Interfaces with client and team feedback, managing revisions with clarity and quality.
_ Manages and organizes large amounts of media, including file management, uploading, and long-term archival.
_ Available to be on set for local shoots to assist with edit notes and occasional data transfer.
_ Maintains flexibility in edit workflow — Brand Apart uses a combination of local storage, shared storage, and remote editing environments.
_Requirements
_ Proven editorial experience with a comprehensive skillset across story structure, pacing, color, audio, and finishing.
_ Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects; familiarity with Illustrator, Audition, and related tools.
_ Excellent time management skills and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously under tight deadlines.
_ Experience with Mac workstations and collaborative file management workflows.
_ Strong communicator — great and timely with both internal teams and client-facing feedback.
_ Available to travel approximately 10% of the time for event and experience work.
_Attributes of a Successful Candidate
_ Works well under pressure and can manage a high project load while maintaining creative quality and meeting deadlines.
_ Brings a self-starter mentality balanced with a collaborative, supportive approach to teamwork.
_ Actively shares new editing techniques, style inspiration, and reference visuals to elevate the Video Team.
_ Seasoned enough to catch on quickly to client needs and vision — and to take that vision further than expected.
_ Brings high standards of creativity and excellence to every project, regardless of size or format.
_Culture
We know culture drives everything which is why we intentionally invest in our people and strive to create a workplace that is inspiring, incorporates diverse backgrounds and perspectives, and is always rooted in care. Our compensation is competitive. Benefits include 401k, health insurance, dental insurance, vision insurance, generous paid time off, and professional development.
_Location & Work Environment
This role is based in Atlanta, GA, and follows a hybrid work model that combines in-office collaboration with remote flexibility. Candidates must be located in or willing to relocate to the Atlanta area and able to attend in-person workdays as required by our hybrid office policy.
