You work smart, not just hard: Yes, you have the smarts and sheer grit to muscle through that stack of problems, but if a better mousetrap can be built, you build it. If it can be scripted, automated or systematized so that you and your team are freed to take on the more thorny/wicked problems, you build the robot. And, of course, you love to build robots. You relish in learning new tools. You see poetry in project management tools and databases.

Playful Problem Solver: You keep your sense of humor and take joy in Getting Things Done Right. Having a mile-long to-do list doesn't stress you it, it invigorates you. It's your PURPOSE to rip though that list and do it well. You're drawn to those gordian knots like a moth to a flame. And when you cut through them, the satisfaction propels you into your next challenge with gusto. Despite your analytical bent, you don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

Responsibilities

  • Execute intermediate editing tasks including string-outs, selects reels, and rough cuts while working closely with an editor or producer.

  • Ingest and manage digital footage from production, ensuring all necessary media is properly cataloged and accessible.
  • Maintain editorial workflows by archiving and documenting all associated media efficiently.
  • Perform quality control by identifying any discrepancies in audio, video, or graphics to uphold our production standards.
