Role Description
We are seeking a fast-moving, highly skilled Editor with 5–7 years of professional experience in short-form, agency-facing content. The candidate will work on sizzle films, manifestos, case studies, visual prototypes and integrate AI-generated assets along with live action footage.

- Execute light motion finishing in After Effects.
- Perform quality control, versioning, and localizations.
- Collaborate in real-time with post coordinators and creative supervisors via Frame.io and WhatsApp.
- Coordinate with European teams in a fast-paced, 24-hour workflow.
Requirements
- 5–7 years of professional editing experience in a high-speed, short-form environment.
- Expert-level proficiency in Adobe Premiere.
- Strong working knowledge of After Effects (preferred).
- Practical experience with AI tools for video and voice-over workflows.
- Fluency in English; Spanish is a strong plus.
- High responsiveness and comfort working with globally distributed teams.
