Senior Production Editors are experienced professionals responsible for overseeing the production process of publications such as books, journals, or magazines. They coordinate with authors, editors, designers, and printers to ensure that content is accurate, well-formatted, and meets publication standards. Their duties often include managing schedules, proofreading, quality control, and resolving production issues. Senior Production Editors also mentor junior staff and help to implement best practices for efficient workflow. This role requires strong organizational, communication, and editing skills.

They must coordinate with authors, designers, copy editors, and printers to ensure each project stays on schedule while adhering to style and quality standards. Effective time management, organizational skills, and the ability to quickly resolve unexpected issues—such as last-minute corrections or production delays—are crucial for success in this role. Collaboration and clear communication across teams help manage workloads and keep projects moving efficiently.

To thrive as a Senior Production Editor, you need expertise in editorial processes, copyediting, proofreading, and project management, usually supported by a relevant degree and substantial publishing experience.

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.

Equal Opportunity Employer: Noor Group is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
