To thrive as an Indigenous Archivist, you need expertise in archival science, cultural heritage preservation, and a deep understanding of Indigenous histories and protocols, often supported by a degree in library science, archival studies, or Indigenous studies. Familiarity with archival management systems, digitization tools, and knowledge of relevant legal and ethical standards is commonly required.

What are some common challenges Indigenous Archivists face when working with culturally sensitive materials?

Indigenous Archivists often encounter challenges related to the respectful management and preservation of culturally sensitive materials, such as sacred objects, oral histories, and community records. Balancing traditional archival standards with Indigenous protocols and community expectations requires ongoing dialogue, adaptability, and cultural competence. Archivists must also navigate issues around ownership, access, and repatriation, ensuring that communities have agency over their heritage while adhering to institutional policies. Building trust and fostering collaborative relationships with Indigenous communities is essential to address these complexities.

Company Description

The Klick Group—comprising Klick Health (including Klick Katalyst and btwelve), Klick Media Group, Klick Applied Sciences (including Klick Labs), Klick Consulting, and Klick Ventures—is an ecosystem dedicated to realizing the full potential of our people and clients in life sciences. Founded in 1997, we have offices in New York, Philadelphia, Saratoga Springs, Toronto, London, São Paulo, and Singapore. Consistently named a Best Managed Company, Most Admired Corporate Culture, and Great Place to Work, Klick is committed to fostering a high-performance, people-first culture with creativity, collaboration, innovation, and impact across everything we do.

This craft blends imagination with strategy to create work that is emotionally resonant and culturally relevant. Creative teams collaborate across disciplines to simplify complexity and humanize healthcare. Their work drives engagement, understanding, and meaningful action across channels.

Job Description

We’re looking for a senior freelance editor who can turn loose ideas into cinematic, emotionally compelling pitch films for pharma and healthcare brands.

This work moves fast. You may be handed a rough script, an incomplete deck, a few visual references, or a half-formed creative territory — and asked to make it feel like a film.

You’ll create manifesto films, sizzles, campaign mood films, concept films, brand ads, highlight reels, montages, and TV-style executions. You’ll also source, shape, and generate assets using stock, archival footage, music, voiceover, sound design, and AI tools.

Pharma experience is helpful, but not required. What matters most is taste, speed, storytelling, resourcefulness, and the ability to make early-stage ideas feel clear, sharp, and visually powerful.

What You'll Do

  • Edit high-impact pitch films, sizzles, manifestos, concept films, and TV-style executions.
  • Turn rough scripts, loose direction, or incomplete decks into compelling visual stories.
  • Own pacing, structure, tone, music, imagery, typography, and sound with minimal hand-holding.
  • Source and combine stock, archival footage, stills, music, SFX, VO, and provided assets.
  • Use AI tools to generate or extend imagery, prototype scenes, build atmospherics, and explore voice, music, or sound options.
  • Work quickly under tight pitch timelines while staying organized and craft-focused.
  • Collaborate with creative, strategy, production, project management, and client service teams as needed.
Qualifications

Requirements: 

  • Senior-level editing experience in advertising, branded content, entertainment marketing, healthcare, or a similar fast-paced environment.
  • A portfolio that shows strong, emotional storytelling, taste, pacing, and music sensibility.
  • Expert-level Adobe Premiere Pro skills, plus working knowledge of After Effects and Creative Cloud.
  • Practical experience with tools like Runway, ChatGPT, Claude, ElevenLabs, Gemini, or similar AI platforms.
  • Confidence working independently from minimal direction.
  • Strong asset sourcing, visual problem-solving, and communication skills.
  • Comfort with pharma or healthcare-adjacent subject matter.

Desired:

  • Pharma, healthcare, life sciences, or regulated-industry experience.
  • Motion design, typography, compositing, color, or sound design skills.
  • Experience building AI-assisted workflows for fast-turnaround creative development.
  • Experience supporting new business or high-pressure pitch cycles.
  • Comfort and enthusiasm for using AI as a regular part of how work gets done

Additional Information

Work Model
Fully remote freelance role. Strong communication is essential. Evenings, weekends, and extended hours will often be required due to pitch timelines.
Who You Are
You’re the editor who can take a rough thought, a few slides, or a half-built idea and make it feel cinematic, emotional, and strategically clear. You don’t need every answer before you start. You help shape the answer through the edit.
