The Role Working entirely in DaVinci Resolve Studio, you will cut, colour-grade, sweeten, and finish both long-form lessons and quick-hit marketing assets. You’ll report to our senior editor in Wanaka, sync daily for creative direction, and post concise progress updates in our project tracker.

What You Bring ● 4+ years professional editing experience (reel required). ● Expert-level DaVinci Resolve skills, including basic Fusion compositing and Fairlight audio cleanup. ● Proven motion-graphics chops in Resolve or After Effects. ● Strong grasp of codecs (H.264, ProRes, BRAW), colour-managed workflows, LUTs, and delivery best practices. ● Reliable fibre-class internet (at least 50 Mbps down / 20 Mbps up) and a calibrated monitor for colour work. ● Self-discipline to hit deadlines while working solo, plus fluent written and spoken English for daily stand-ups. Contract Snapshot ● Status: Independent contractor (bring your own workstation; invoice monthly). ● Compensation: Senior-level Philippine market rate (discussed after reel review). ● Hours: 9 am – 6 pm New Zealand time, Monday through Friday (roughly 5 am – 2 pm Philippine time, one hour earlier during NZ Daylight Time), about 40 hours per week with slight flexibility as workloads shift. ● Start Date: ASAP
