Visual Media Editor - Phoenix, AZ


WHO WE ARE: Cultivate Your Career with a Vibrant, Dedicated Team

Small Giants isn't just a marketing and business development agency; we're a thriving community committed to long-term success in Phoenix and Denver. We are a woman-owned, highly specialized strategic and creative agency specifically focused on commercial real estate, construction, and professional services. This is an award-winning, highly collaborative company specializing in commercial real estate and construction (CRE and AEC) clients of all sizes across the country.


We believe in crafting specialized growth strategies, creative concepts, brand storytelling and strategic communications that drive our clients' success. Our vibrant team culture thrives on collaboration, continuous learning, and shared achievement. From team outings and catered lunches to ongoing internal education opportunities, we are committed to helping our team deepen their expertise and grow their careers at Small Giants.


As an agency that thrives on agility, high-impact storytelling, and maximizing every creative asset, we are looking for a Video & Photo Editor who can bridge the gap between raw footage and social-ready content. We value efficiency, trend-awareness, and a collaborative spirit. This in-office role is designed for an experienced professional who is ready to own the post-production pipeline for short-form social media, website video content, basic animations, photo edits and long-form podcast content.

  • Maximize content output by repurposing long-form footage into teasers, trailers, and social cutdowns.
  • Develop visual storytelling strategies by incorporating effective hooks, captions, and motion graphics.
  • Execute professional photo editing, including color correction and retouching for web, social, and advertising assets.
  • Manage post-production timelines in a fast-paced environment to ensure quick turnarounds without sacrificing quality.
  • Curate, purge and organize asset libraries (i.e. Vimeo/Frame IO), maintaining a structured system for large volumes of event and creator footage.
  • Support live visual media environments, assisting photo/video with setup and real-time capture needs during physical events.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with agency departments to ensure all visuals align with brand guidelines and project goals.


Qualifications

  • 3+ years of professional editing experience
  • Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Photoshop, Lightroom for high-end photo manipulation and asset management.
  • Proven track record in social-first editing, demonstrating a deep understanding of pacing, hooks, and viral structures.
  • Experience with multi-camera workflows and professional-grade audio post-production.
  • Technical knowledge of file optimization, including resolution and format requirements for both print and digital media.
  • Strong organizational skills, with the ability to manage complex project files, templates, and archives.
  • High-level time management, capable of meeting tight deadlines and balancing multiple projects simultaneously.
  • Bachelor's degree in Film, Production, Graphic Design, or a related field (or equivalent professional experience).
  • A diverse portfolio showcasing a blend of polished long-form edits and high-energy short-form social content.
