Job Description

Title: Lead Video Editor

Job Type: Contract

Contract Length: 6+ months

Target Start Date: ASAP

Work Location/Structure: Foster City, CA (Hybrid – 3 days on-site, 2 remote)

About the Opportunity:

Our client, a leader in Autonomous Vehicle Technology, is looking for a skilled Lead Video Editor to join their team for a 6+ month engagement. This project involves owning the end-to-end editorial process for brand campaigns, internal communications, product demos, and social content, from pre-production collaboration to final delivery. This is a high-impact role that requires a self-motivated professional who can hit the ground running and deliver results quickly.

Key Responsibilities & Deliverables:

This role is focused on the successful completion of specific tasks and deliverables. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Lead editing and post-production for brand and marketing content, ensuring creative and technical excellence.
  • Engage early in pre-production: collaborate with producers, directors, and creative leads on scripts, outlines, and shot lists to anticipate editorial flow.
  • Serve as on-set DIT when needed: manage media ingest, data integrity, color LUTs, log profiles, backups, and workflow handoffs.
  • Oversee the post pipeline: rough cuts, fine cuts, graphics integration, sound design, and finishing, delegating effectively.
  • Mentor junior editors and freelancers, and contribute to documentation and workflow playbooks to help scale editorial operations.

Required Skills & Experience:

We are looking for someone with a proven track record of successful contract engagements. The ideal candidate will have:

  • 8+ years of professional editing experience across brand, product, event, and social content.
  • Deep expertise in Adobe Creative Suite (Premiere, After Effects, Audition); familiarity with DaVinci Resolve and Frame.io. This isn't a learning role—you need to be a subject matter expert.
  • Proven ability to thrive in a tech or corporate environment, balancing strategy and storytelling.
  • Experience contributing to pre-production planning and on-set DIT proficiency (media management, data wrangling, color pipeline).
  • Strong communication skills to provide clear and concise status updates to the project team, and a highly organized approach to managing multiple concurrent projects.
