The Senior Video Editor must be exceptionally proficient in editing and will be tasked with executing our most high-profile productions as well as managing a high volume of smaller projects – with team support – to meet the programming schedule. You’ll provide direction for forecasting output and work with the production team to maintain an editorial calendar and collaborate with the full creative team to develop and roll out a successful creative strategy.
