ABOUT FLIGHTSTORY

We are a media and investment company, and we are on a mission to elevate the stories, build the communities, and support the founders that inspire a happier, healthier humanity. We scale creator-led media, ventures and communities.

YOUR MISSION

To craft high-performance trailers that scale IP, deepen fandom, and spark global attention through world-class storytelling, platform-native editing, and AI-powered creative intelligence.

As a Trailer Editor at FlightStory, you don’t just cut footage — you engineer attention.

You’ll use performance data to guide creative decisions, AI to accelerate workflows and enhance ideation, and storytelling to convert casual scrollers into lifelong fans. From the first frame to the final export, your edits won’t just look good — they’ll perform every time.

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE

  • World-class editorial instincts and understands how to build narrative arcs, emotional payoffs, and retention strategies within short-form edits
  • Can turn 90 minutes of footage into 90 seconds of pure story with clarity and rhythm

Post-Production

  • Fluent in the Adobe suite and complimentary Curious, critical, and confident not just testing AI tools but embedding them into your workflow Experienced across Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Audition, and Photoshop

Performance-Driven Creativity

  • Understands and applies data insights from YouTube Studio, TikTok Analytics, and third-party tools (e.g. retention curves, CTR, CVR, audience drop-off)
  • Balances gut feel with evidence, knowing when to challenge the data and when to trust it

Creative Discipline & Ownership

  • Thrives in autonomy, executes under pressure, and communicates clearly

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Energised by working with other editors, strategists, social leads, producers, and commercial creatives
  • Helps bring everyone into the storytelling process, aligning edit impact with business results

DAY TO DAY

  • You'll read/watch the full recorded episode and take notes of the best moments that could make it into the trailer
  • Create a narrative (or script) from the notes that creates a clear and cohesive narrative that also meets the requirements of our Trailer checklist
  • Create the sequence, source music, craft the sound design and prepare broll plates for our Animator.
  • Work with the trailer team for 1%'s, text, ratios
  • Create experimental content to test various elements of the trailer

YOU’LL THRIVE HERE IF YOU

  • Think in story and edit in stats — you love crafting emotionally charged edits, but you also obsess over retention graphs and data-informed structures
  • See AI as a creative partner — you’re curious, confident, and hands-on with new tools and find smart ways to integrate them into your workflow
  • Believe performance is a craft — you get that storytelling and performance aren’t opposites, they’re allies
  • Play for the team — you bring positive energy, contribute ideas, and know how to lift others while staying focused on delivery
  • Move like it matters — you’re fast, focused, and clear-headed under pressure; you don’t wait to be told
  • Care about the mission — you’re here to build something that moves people and you believe that great editing can change the trajectory of an entire brand

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

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.
