Freelance Wedding Video Editing Day Shift Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Company Description

Wedding Weekender is redefining wedding videography by helping couples capture their wedding weekends in an authentic, affordable way. We rent camcorders for family and friends to film the weekend—then our team organizes the footage and edits it into a wedding video that feels true and unique to each couple's celebrations.

We're a fast-growing, creative start-up building a scalable post-production team to deliver high-quality, on-brand wedding films at volume. Since our launch this year, we've been featured in the New York Times, Vogue Weddings, Martha Stewart Weddings, and more. We're looking for a highly organized, people-focused Editor Operations Manager to build the freelance editor team that brings every Wedding Weekender film to life—recruiting top editing talent, training them to our creative standards, and driving the performance and quality that keep every film feeling personal and polished.

Role Description

This is a full-time role (remote-friendly) for an Editor Operations Manager at Wedding Weekender. You'll own the pipeline of freelance editors that power our post-production team—recruiting and onboarding new talent, managing performance, and building the systems that let our editor bench scale alongside the business.

You'll work closely with the Director of Post-Production and Post-Production Project Manager, translating creative quality standards into repeatable hiring, training, and coaching processes.
