About Nen Creative
Nen Creative partners with tech startups to bring bold ideas to life, creating the brands, products, and stories that fuel their growth. Since 2022, we've partnered with some of the world's top founders and institutions, including Amazon, Pear VC, Andreessen Horowitz, Mercor, Context Inc, Pylon, Listen Labs, Tech Week, Console, Mantis VC, Daydream, Flora, and more. We're growing fast and looking for great people to join us.
About the Opportunity
We're looking for a sharp, story-driven Editor to join our growing team. You'll cut a wide range of work across our roster of tech startup clients, from launch films and brand stories to product videos, social cutdowns, and event recaps. You'll partner closely with our directors and creative leads to take footage from raw to finished and shape the pacing, tone, and feel of each piece. You'll own the cut from selects through final delivery, working across multiple projects at any given time.
Responsibilities
  • Edit a wide variety of video content, primarily launch films/commercials, as well as product videos, testimonials, mini-docs, and social cutdowns.
  • Translate creative direction and scripts into compelling cuts that hit the intended tone, pacing, and story
  • Partner closely with directors and creative leads from selects through picture lock, iterating quickly on feedback
  • Handle sound design and basic mix work, including music selection, SFX, and dialogue cleanup
  • Color grade footage to match the look and feel of each project.
  • Create simple motion graphics, lower thirds, titles, and basic VFX as needed
  • Organize and maintain project files, media, and version control across multiple active projects
  • Manage your own timelines and flag risks early when scope, footage, or schedule shifts
  • Support delivery and asset prep for final handoff, including different cuts, aspect ratios, and platform specs
  • Stay current on editing trends, techniques, and tools that can elevate our work

What We're Looking For
  • Based in the Bay Area (preferred)
  • 3 to 5 years of experience preferred as an editor, ideally on commercial, brand, or documentary work
  • Strong reel that demonstrates story sensibility, pacing, and range across styles
  • Expert in Premiere Pro; comfortable in After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, or similar tools
  • Solid eye for color and ear for sound design and music
  • Highly organized with strong attention to detail and clean project management habits
  • Calm, proactive, and dependable on tight turnarounds
  • A clear communicator who takes feedback well and partners closely with directors
  • Takes ownership of the cut and pushes the work forward, not just executing notes

Why Join Nen
  • Be part of a small, fast-growing creative studio trusted by world-class startups and investors
  • Work directly with the partners and creative leadership on ambitious, high-impact projects
  • Cut a wide variety of work across founder-led brands, VC firms, and major tech companies
  • Medical, dental, and vision coverage, 401(k), PTO, and company holidays
  • Salary range $65,000 to $100,000
