Video Editor

Editor — Contract

Duration: August 17 – September 25, 2025

On-Site Required: September 13–24 (potential long days)

Years of Experience: 6 years of professional video editing experience with proven experience in large scale events, keynote presentations or product storytelling.

About the Role

We're looking for a versatile, experienced Editor to cut pre-produced video segments for a high-profile technology keynote and support short-form social content surrounding the event. Your work will span product demos, narrative films, sizzle reels, and thumb-stopping social pieces — all produced to the highest standard for stage, broadcast, and social.

The ideal candidate can do two things well: punchy, trend-driven social content and clear tech-forward storytelling. You live on the internet, know what's trending, and can nail quick cuts just as easily as smooth, high-end edits. Bonus if you're into tech and comfortable using AI tools.

You'll collaborate closely with producers, keynote designers, motion designers, and creative leads through multiple review cycles, while also partnering with Comms to strategically produce content that supports C-level executive announcements across social channels. This role demands someone who is technically excellent, editorially sharp, and thrives in a fast-moving, high-stakes creative environment.

What You'll Do

Keynote Video Production

• Edit pre-produced multimedia video segments for a keynote, including product demos, narrative films, sizzle reels, and transitional content
• Collaborate closely with producers, keynote designers, motion designers, and creative leads to refine edits through multiple review cycles
• Select and edit music, sound design, and audio elements to enhance storytelling, working with producers on licensing as needed
• Execute color correction and color grading to ensure visual polish and consistency across all segments
• Deliver final exports in required formats and specs, fully QA'd and ready for show (stage, LED, broadcast, and livestream)

Social & Communications Content

• Design, edit, and assemble short-form social content — creating quality, thumb-stopping pieces optimized for social platforms
• Partner with Creative and Comms teams on strategically producing content for social channels tied to the keynote
• Work cross-functionally across product communications teams, creative teams, and other stakeholders to build and execute content plans supporting C-level executive announcements

On-Site Support

• Support on-site editorial and motion needs in the two weeks leading up to the keynote, including real-time adjustments during rehearsals and show days

What We're Looking For

Required:

• Expert proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro; strong After Effects skills for integration of motion graphics
• Experience editing content for live events, keynote presentations, and/or large-format stage shows
• Strong audio editing skills including music selection, sound mixing, audio finishing for both stage and web/stream broadcast, with sound design fundamentals
• Proficiency in color correction and color grading workflows
• Deep understanding of short-form social content — you know how to craft scroll-stopping pieces that perform on social platforms
• Highly organized with disciplined file management and project structure habits
• Autonomous and efficient — able to manage your own workflow and deliver on deadline without hand-holding
• Excellent communicator and collaborator, comfortable working with multiple stakeholders and incorporating feedback gracefully
• Experience working in the tech industry or on tech-focused creative productions

Preferred:

• Previous experience editing for keynote or main-stage presentations (tech conferences, product launches, developer events)
• Familiarity with AI tools in the editorial workflow (transcription, rough cuts, asset tagging, etc.)
• Experience supporting executive communications or C-level content production
• Knowledge of broadcast delivery specs and livestream encoding requirements
