  • Experience creating content in multiple aspect ratios, including 16:9, 1:1, 4:5, and 9:16. 
  • Strong storytelling instincts and the ability to shape footage into clear, engaging narratives. 
  • Knowledge of color correction, audio mixing, and final delivery standards. 
  • Ability to juggle multiple projects and adapt quickly in a fast-moving environment. 
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to thoughtfully apply feedback through multiple rounds of review. 
  • Excellent attention to detail, organization, and time management. 
Certifications/Licenses, Education, and Experience
  • Minimum Education:
    • BA or BS degree from an accredited college or university. 
  • Minimum Experience:
    • Professional experience as a video editor, preferably with social media, branded, documentary, or mission-driven content. 
    • Strong proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, especially Premiere Pro and After Effects. 
    • Technical understanding of Adobe post-production workflows, including project organization, media management, exporting, and version control.
