Job Description

Senior Video Editor & Creative Lead

Location: Deerfield Beach, FL (Must live within reasonable driving distance)

Employment Type: Full-Time (On-Site)

Salary: $70K–$80K

Schedule: Flexible hours; occasional nights/weekends as needed

Our client is a mission-driven media team producing high-impact content focused on addiction recovery, homelessness outreach, intervention storytelling, music videos, and powerful real-life testimonials. We’re seeking a Senior Film Editor & Creative Lead to shape the visual identity of their growing brand.

Key Responsibilities

Editing & Post-Production

• Lead all editing for long-form and short-form content
• Oversee color grading, sound design, stabilization, transitions, and final output
• Maintain a consistent visual identity across platforms and productions

Creative Direction

• Collaborate directly with founders to bring concepts to life with a polished, cinematic style
• Develop storyboards, shot lists, and creative concepts for scripted and documentary content
• Provide input on lighting, framing, composition, and on-set capture when needed

Team Leadership & Management

• Supervise, mentor, and assign tasks to a small creative team
• Manage project timelines and ensure deadlines are met
• Encourage collaboration while maintaining efficient workflows and professional communication

Production Support

• Attend on-set shoots for music videos, recovery interviews, outreach documentation, and interventions
• Capture B-roll, behind-the-scenes footage, and supplemental material when additional support is needed

Required Skills & Experience

• 5+ years of professional experience in film editing or post-production
• Expert-level proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, and/or Final Cut Pro
• Strong storytelling instincts with the ability to edit emotionally compelling, real-life narratives
• Experience leading or mentoring small creative teams
• Ability to work under tight deadlines and pivot quickly as projects evolve
• Experience using green screen, virtual backgrounds, and AI-assisted editing tools is a strong plus.

Communication Skills

The senior video editor communicates clearly, confidently, and effortlessly in English. The pace of work is fast, with creative editing, recovery-related terminology, nuanced content, and real-time collaboration — so being able to express ideas smoothly and respond quickly is key. During the interview, we’ll be looking for a strong, natural, concise communicator.

Flexible Schedule and Fast-Paced Workflow

This role isn’t tied to a typical office 9-5 schedule. Work can shift quickly, and new projects often come up without a lot of lead time (sometimes under 24 hrs). If you’re someone who can adjust easily, reprioritize, and jump in when needed, you’ll thrive here.

Personal Qualities

• Calm, patient, and steady under pressure
• Passionate about mission-driven, recovery-focused storytelling
• Creative problem solver who adapts quickly
• Values integrity, confidentiality, and respect when working with vulnerable populations

Bonus Experience

• Experience shooting (cinema cameras, mirrorless, lighting)
• Motion graphics or animation skills
• Social media editing trends (Reels, TikTok, Shorts)
• Drone operation
• Audio mixing
• Color grading expertise
• Flexible schedule with some remote editing permitted; must be available in person for select shoots and meetings

This is a full-time position working onsite in the Deerfield Beach, FL area. You must reside within reasonable driving distance. Candidates with a personal passion for addiction and recovery are also encouraged to apply, though this is not mandatory.

To apply, please submit your resume and portfolio link/case studies for immediate consideration.

While we appreciate all applications, only candidates selected for an interview will be contacted. By applying for this position, you agree to be contacted via email or text message. Message and data rates may apply.
