The Brief
Do you dream in jump cuts, color grades and motion graphics? Does your brain automatically
think of the perfect beat drop for a transition? Then weโd like to talk.
Satori is looking for a part-time Video Editor to join our creative crew on a per-project basis.ย
With raw footage and storyboards from our team in hand, youโll use your editing prowess toย
create dynamic, polished stories that capture the spirit of our clients.
Youโll collaborate closely with our creative team to edit videos that donโt just look awesome
but captivate the audienceโwhether itโs a social media reel to promote a clientโs service, aย
heartfelt piece for a nonprofit or an educational video on a technical topic.ย
Since we are a busy agency, thereโll be quick turnarounds, evolving storylines and plenty ofย
chances to flex your editing muscles, all while keeping projects on-brand, on-message and on deadline.
Remote-ish (but mostly in office): Youโll spend some days editing from your creative cave, but the magic happensย
when we all get together. Expect to be in our West Houston headquarters for brainstorms, up-close collaboration and โholy sh*t, thatโs brilliantโ moments
