Job description

Senior Editor

Location: Costa Mesa (on-site)

Salary - $100,000 - $110,000

About the Role

We are partnering with a design and experiential agency to place a Senior Editor within their post-production team. This is not a seat-filler role. Our client produces premium brand work across video, live events, and integrated campaigns — and they need an editor who shapes stories, not just assembles cuts.

If you treat editing as a craft and hold yourself to a high standard across every frame, read on.

What You'll Do

  • Lead edits from concept through finish — owning narrative structure, pacing, tone, performance, and emotional arc
  • Contribute creative direction early in the process: concept hooks, story approaches, visual references
  • Collaborate with producers and PMs; take ownership of keeping projects moving
  • Execute finishing components including motion graphics (After Effects), typography, color (DaVinci Resolve or equivalent), music selection, sound design, and SFX polish
  • Partner with production teams and external vendors; hold the line on input quality (footage, design, audio)
  • Prep and QC deliverables for large-format LED screens and live event playback — non-standard resolutions, multi-screen formats, venue-specific specs
  • Present work to clients confidently and translate feedback into creative solutions without losing the integrity of the work

What We're Looking For

  • A reel/portfolio that demonstrates premium storytelling, visual taste, and craft
  • Sharp editorial instincts with a working understanding of the full post pipeline
  • Confidence owning creative decisions in front of both internal teams and clients
  • High ownership, collaborative mindset — you raise the bar without making it about you
  • Composure under pressure; solutions-oriented, not surprise-oriented

Required Skills

  • Advanced proficiency in Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro
  • Strong working knowledge of After Effects
  • Excellent visual sensibility — design, typography, layout
  • Solid color workflow fundamentals (DaVinci Resolve or comparable)
  • Audio fundamentals: dialogue cleanup, mix balance, music and SFX integration
  • Large-format deliverable experience: LED canvases, non-standard aspect ratios, safe zones, multi-output versions

Nice to Have

  • Experience pitching creative concepts to clients
  • Experience sourcing or leading shoots / working with production crews
  • Experience collaborating with CGI/3D teams
  • Live event post experience: ballrooms, conference stages, experiential installs, concerts

How to Apply

Please submit the following:

  • Your reel/portfolio link
  • A brief note on your role in 2–3 featured pieces (concept, edit, motion, color, sound, etc.)
  • danieln@noorstaffing.com

Benefits include medical, dental, vision, retirement, and PTO. Comprehensive benefits package available; see link for details.
