Senior Video Editors are responsible for leading a team of video editors throughout the editing process, maintaining overall awareness of the team’s actions, and ensuring that the finished product meets the client's expectations. As a Senior Video Editor you will spend most of your time in office. However, as a trusted member of our team you will be allowed more freedom to work remotely from home, while maintaining at least 3 days presence in-office. At the office you will have access to powerful editing workstations equipped with the latest suites of software.
Senior Video Editors must collaborate during every phase of editing, storyboarding, music, animation, etc. to ensure that the final product does not deviate from what is expected. This requires strong communications skills, as abstract ideas must be presented and understood for everyone to be on the same page. Senior Video Editors are also responsible for maintaining all backups and archived data in case of an emergency or loss. In addition to overseeing employees, you are also responsible for editing the same variety of projects as you were during your Junior Video Editor tenure. However, you will now delegate lesser editing work to your junior co-workers and focus your efforts on more complex editing projects and strategic business goals. As such, they may also be in charge of creating and maintaining a schedule for the editing process and informing both the team and client of when projects should be completed.
As a Senior Video Editor, you may be responsible for directly training between 1-3 junior team members every year. Your junior co-workers will look to you for guidance and learning. You, as a Senior Video Editor, will be responsible for their improvement, video editing capabilities, and continued growth and learning within the company. You will still be at the direction of a Creative Director on high-end video projects. You will also continue working directly with customers and other videographers on staff.
Senior video editors should have at least five years of editing experience. They typically work during regular weekly business hours, and additional time may occasionally be necessary to meet deadlines. Travel is not necessary for this position.
