The Role
- We're looking for a freelance video editor with at least 1 year of professional experience, a strong visual sensibility and an interest in cinema, art and contemporary culture.

What We're Looking For
- Strong sense of narrative, rhythm and visual composition.
- Experience editing short-form films, trailers,
artist showcases or editorial content.
- Proficiency in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve.
- Working knowledge of sound editing, colour correction and social media formats.
- Motion graphics and After Effects experience is a plus.
- Self-directed, reliable and accountable. Able to work independently, communicate proactively, meet deadlines and take ownership of assignments with minimal supervision.
We work with an inclusive, collaborative team and particularly encourage applications from women and LGBTQIA+ editors.
