Senior Video Editor

This is a remote position.

OVERVIEW:
The role of Senior Video Editor is to independently manage the full post-production process — from ingest through to final delivery — for story-driven brand and advertising content for Australian businesses. This is a senior creative role, not a technical executor. The right person brings genuine storytelling instinct: reviewing and interpreting creative briefs, shaping story structure and pacing, and making editing decisions that elevate the final piece with minimal oversight.

JOB DESCRIPTION / RESPONSIBILITIES:

As Senior Video Editor you are:

? Responsible for editing live action video projects end-to-end using Adobe Premiere, including case studies, online brand commercials and social media content.

? Responsible for interpreting creative briefs (including via voice message) and understanding desired tone and messaging without requiring heavy direction.

? Responsible for identifying the strongest moments within footage and crafting compelling, interview-led narratives from interviews and b-roll.

? Responsible for story structure, pacing and music selection that reflect each brand's particular tone — not a templated or broadcast-style approach.

? Responsible for organizing projects and media according to a system provided during training.

? Responsible for maintaining consistent post-production workflow standards and high attention to detail.

? Responsible for proactive communication on progress, timelines and challenges throughout each project.

? Occasionally handing off in-progress projects to another editor at various stages, when required.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

We are looking for someone who has:

? English proficiency of C1 or above — this is a hard requirement, not a nice-to-have. This role edits interview-led content and takes briefs via voice message, so strong English is essential to avoid confusion and produce natural, engaging flow.

? Advance Proficiency in Adobe Premiere as primary editing tool — either currently or previously. Familiarity alone is not enough.

? A portfolio of bespoke, story-driven brand or advertising content.

? Experience working independently as a video editor, ideally on story-driven advertising content, with minimal creative oversight.

? Strong technical editing skills and efficient workflow/project management.

? A proactive, self-directed working style — able to take feedback constructively while confidently contributing creative input.

Nice to Have:

? Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop experience (photography post-production).

? Basic graphic design skills (Adobe Illustrator).

? Basic motion graphics/animation experience (Adobe After Effects).

Requirements

TYPE OF POSITION, PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS & EXPECTED HOURS OF WORK:

? Suited to someone who prefers consistency and structure, with room for growth over time.

SALARY AND BENEFITS:

? Salary: $11 AUD per hour

? Paid Australian Holidays

? Paid Time off Benefits

? Permanent Work from Home

? HMO after 90 days

? 13th month pay bonus
