Temporary Documentary Video Editor Jobs (NOW HIRING)

About Owner
Owner is the AI-native system local business owners use to succeed, starting with restaurants.
We're building the system that replaces the many tools owners use to run their business.
It powers everything from the restaurant's website, online ordering, CRM, POS, and more.
Product philosophy
Most small business software makes owners do the work to get what they want: sales growth and profit growth. Owner does the work for them agentically.
Our system drives demand, converts it, and helps operators run their business day to day. As it improves, the business improves with it.
Using Owner should feel like having a team of great operators, engineers, and marketers working for you.
Our vision
We're starting by helping independent restaurants succeed online.
But it's not just restaurants that need our help. Most local businesses are struggling with these same problems. Huge technology corporations are taking their customers, bleeding their profits, and making it hard for them to survive.
Once we nail the solution for restaurants - we'll scale it into every other local business type.
In the future we envision, tens of millions of local business owners will use our technology to succeed in the digital age.

Our traction
Since 2020, we've generated tens of millions in revenue and processed over a billion dollars of online orders. 1 in 5 Americans have used an Owner.com website.
More importantly, we've helped over 20,000 restaurant owners, and saved them nearly $200 million in fees.
Our team
Our team is now in the low hundreds. We've got top talent from the most successful companies in SMB software, including: Shopify, HubSpot, DoorDash, ServiceTitan, Rappi, Faire and Stripe.
We'll be scaling even faster in 2026 to keep pace with our customer growth.
Where we work
Owner is a remote-first, global company headquartered in San Francisco, with a sales hub in Toronto. For a few of our roles we prioritize in-person collaboration at one of our office locations. Most of our teammates are distributed throughout the globe. Please review the role description and discuss with your recruiter for more details on location!
Why we're looking for you
Media has been an unfair advantage for Owner as we've scaled to over a billion dollar valuation. Our YouTube and Instagram channels are category leaders. We've become the #1 voice in restaurant growth, and our channels regularly get over 5 million organic impressions per month.
We are using best practices we've learned from organic media to help level up every function at our company with Media. As Owner scales, every team across the company needs video that performs at the same level as our external content. Sales needs demo walkthroughs and case studies that close deals. Product needs launch videos that land with customers and internal stakeholders. Recruiting needs culture content that wins candidates against the biggest tech companies. Leadership needs sharp all-hands recaps and investor-ready presentations.
The Senior Video Editor is one of our early hires that will help own this function as we build a dedicated Media team. You'll own end-to-end editing for internal video projects across the company. The formats are varied: sales enablement videos, product launch announcements, customer case studies, recruiting sizzle reels, training content, and executive presentations. We can walk into real restaurants, film real stories, and show real numbers. Very few brands have such a variety of creative assets and environments and you'll get to treat that as your canvas and playground.
We want editors with strong opinions about their craft. People who nerd out about sound design, pacing, and how to make a product demo feel as compelling as a documentary. You'll get real creative ownership here, not template-based assembly work.
The feedback loop is fast: you edit, it ships, you hear from the teams using it, you learn what worked, and you iterate.
*This role is based onsite in San Francisco, California.
The impact you'll have

• Produce multiple long-form internal video projects per month, with varying timelines and levels of complexity based on scope. You'll own end-to-end editing from raw footage to final publish-ready asset, including color correction, sound design, motion graphics, and B-roll integration.
• Optimize for clarity, engagement, and storytelling. Every cut, transition, and visual beat should be intentional. You'll study what keeps internal audiences watching and apply those insights to every video.
• Build and maintain editing SOPs and templates. Create repeatable processes so the team can scale and new members can ramp quickly.
• QC vendor and contractor edits. Review first-cut edits from external partners, write revision notes, and ensure every video meets brand standards before publishing.
• Report on video performance when these are posted on socials or external platforms. Track views, watch time, completion rates, and engagement per video. Surface insights that inform future content decisions.

Who you'll work with

• Report directly to Chief of Staff to the CEO and VP of Media
• Partner closely with the Platform Managers and external-facing editors to maintain brand consistency across all Owner video
• Work with external production partners (videographers, agencies, freelancers) whose output you'll help QC and integrate
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams across Sales, Product, and Recruiting who need video assets to support their goals

What we're looking for

• 3+ years of professional video editing experience, with a portfolio that demonstrates strong storytelling and visual craft
• Strong command of Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects
• Experience editing internal, corporate, or B2B video content with a clear understanding of how to tailor tone and pacing for different audiences
• Proficiency in color correction, audio enhancement, and sound design
• Experience with motion graphics, kinetic typography, and basic animation techniques
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously
• Clear communicator who can take creative direction from non-video stakeholders, give constructive feedback on vendor edits, and articulate editorial choices
• Curiosity around AI-driven tools, automation, and new media workflows

Pay and benefits

• The estimated base salary range for this role is $110K - 140K, plus a generous pre-IPO equity package
• Other benefits include comprehensive health coverage, unlimited PTO - plus extra fun perks!
