We are in relentless pursuit of an equitable and inspiring workplace that is respectful of all, reflects and represents the world in which we live, and fosters trust, collaboration and belonging. Consistent with this approach, we hire the best qualified candidates for all positions.

About the Role

Edelman is looking for a talented and creative Temporary Editor, Post-Production. This is an opportunity for a skilled storyteller who knows how to bring ideas to life through compelling visuals, thoughtful pacing, and exceptional editorial craft.

We're looking for someone who can turn raw footage into engaging stories that connect with audiences across social, digital, branded content, and integrated campaigns. Someone who brings a strong creative point of view, technical expertise, and a passion for making work that captures attention and leaves a lasting impression.

In this role, you'll collaborate closely with Creative Directors, producers, designers, and fellow post-production artists to shape content from initial concept through final delivery. You'll work across a variety of creative projects, from social-first content and brand campaigns to documentary-style storytelling and commercial productions.

If you're passionate about visual storytelling, curious about emerging creative technologies, and energized by collaborating with teams to make great work even better, we'd love to hear from you.

Who You Are

You're a creative storyteller and technically skilled editor who understands how to bring emotion, energy, and meaning to every frame. You have a strong sense of pacing, structure, music, and visual storytelling, along with the technical expertise to execute ideas with precision.

You're comfortable working independently, collaborating with creative teams, and adapting to feedback as projects evolve. You bring curiosity, attention to detail, and a solutions-oriented mindset to your work, balancing creative ambition with the realities of timelines, deliverables, and production workflows.

What You'll Do

  • Edit compelling video content across social, digital, branded, commercial, documentary-style, and integrated campaigns, bringing creative concepts to life through strong visual storytelling.
  • Translate creative briefs, scripts, and storyboards into engaging narratives, using pacing, music, sound design, and editorial techniques to connect with audiences.
  • Collaborate with Creative Directors, producers, designers, animators, and other post-production specialists to develop creative approaches, refine edits, and elevate the final work.
  • Apply editorial and technical expertise using Adobe Premiere Pro and other Creative Cloud tools, incorporating basic color correction, sound design, and motion graphics as needed.
  • Manage editorial projects from initial assembly through revisions, finishing, and final delivery, ensuring creative quality and adherence to technical specifications.
  • Maintain organized project files, media assets, timelines, and version histories while following established post-production workflows and best practices.
  • Balance multiple projects and evolving priorities, proactively communicating production needs, timeline considerations, and creative solutions to internal teams.
  • Stay current with emerging editing techniques, content formats, and AI-assisted creative tools, identifying opportunities to enhance storytelling and improve workflows.

Basic Qualifications

  • At least 3 years of professional video editing experience within an advertising agency, creative studio, production company, post-production house, or related environment.
  • A bachelor's degree in film production, video production, communications, digital media, or a related field.

Preferred Qualifications

  • A strong portfolio or reel demonstrating creative storytelling and editing expertise across branded, commercial, digital, or social content.
  • Advanced proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro, with working knowledge of Adobe After Effects, Photoshop, and Media Encoder.
  • Strong understanding of editorial storytelling, pacing, sound design, music integration, basic color correction, and post-production workflows.
  • Experience editing content for major brands, advertising campaigns, or integrated marketing programs.
  • Background in social-first content, branded storytelling, documentary-style editing, or commercial production.
  • Motion graphics and animation capabilities, including experience with Adobe After Effects.
  • Familiarity with DaVinci Resolve, professional color workflows, and finishing processes.
  • Experience using AI-assisted editing tools and emerging creative technologies to support production workflows.
  • Understanding of broadcast, digital, and social platform specifications, including formatting, versioning, and delivery requirements.
  • Strong communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to collaborate across disciplines, manage competing deadlines, and incorporate creative feedback.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
