  • Collaborate with the Creative Director and Lead Videographer to execute the creative vision for each client.
  • Organize and manage footage, ensuring efficient file workflows and versioning for all client deliverables.
  • Apply sound design, color correction, captions, and graphics consistent with Omni brand standards.

  • Stay current on editing trends and creative strategies that perform best on Meta Ads.
  • Work within tight turnaround timelines while maintaining consistent quality.
Qualifications:
  • Proven experience in video editing and post-production (Adobe Premiere Pro required; After Effects a plus).
  • Strong understanding of pacing, storytelling, and social media video formats.
  • Ability to create visually engaging, conversion-oriented ad content.
  • Detail-oriented, organized, and capable of managing multiple projects simultaneously.
  • Strong teamwork and communication skills, collaborating across creative and strategy teams.
  • Familiarity with advertising principles and interest in performance-based creative.
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs):
  • Number of completed client projects and total deliverables (target: 4-6 projects/week, 50+ deliverables/week).
  • Turnaround time and adherence to production timelines.
  • Creative quality and alignment with Omni's Hook Retain CTA framework.
  • Internal collaboration and responsiveness with creative team.
  • Demonstration of company core values: innovation, energy, growth, and client success.
  • Use of PTO days per quarter (target: 3-5 days).
Employment Type: FULL_TIME
