• Collaborate with Studio leadership and cross-functional partners to maintain a consistent creative vision and proactively flag execution risks, missing inputs, or opportunities to strengthen the final work.
3. Team Leadership & Mentorship:
• Mentor and support junior video editors through constructive feedback, technical guidance, and sharing of post-production best practices.
• Stay current on editing, motion, AI-assisted, and emerging post-production tools; recommend techniques or workflow improvements that can elevate output, speed, or consistency.
• Manage assigned editing workload with strong organization, proactive status communication, and accountability for high-quality, on-time delivery.
4. Project Management:
• Manage multiple complex video projects simultaneously, balancing deadlines, priority deliverables, review rounds, and changing production needs.
• Partner with Studio production and Post Production leads to align resources, timelines, handoffs, and priorities for assigned work.
• Communicate clearly and proactively regarding edit status, technical risks, revision needs, and delivery timing; escalate scope or timeline conflicts to the appropriate Studio production owner.
5. Technical Proficiency:
• Maintain advanced proficiency with industry-standard video and post-production software, including Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Illustrator, Cinema 4D or comparable 3D tools, and Audition or Pro Tools.
• Stay current with post-production technologies, AI-assisted tools, automation, and emerging workflows; support approved pilots and integrate tools that improve efficiency without compromising quality or brand integrity.
• Ensure video content is technically optimized for required platforms and formats, including web, social, eCommerce, internal, paid media, and broadcast as applicable.
6. Quality Assurance:
• Apply established Studio quality-control standards to ensure video content maintains brand consistency, creative alignment, and technical quality.
• Conduct senior-level final reviews of assigned work for creative, technical, file, platform, and delivery readiness before handoff.
• Troubleshoot complex post-production issues, recommend practical solutions, and escalate risks when resolution affects scope, timing, or resources.
