We are looking for a Video Editor to join our growing creative team in LA.
The 1000heads Creative team is a proud, powerful collective of social copy and design obsessives, experts managing creative output. You will work closely with a whole host of departmental specialists, from Accounts, Insights, to Paid Media, to Strategy to deliver transformational social-first work for our clients.
Role
Were looking for a passionate Video Editor with a sixth sense for what kinds of video will drop jaws and stop thumbs on social. You thrive in fast-paced environments and feel comfortable creating videos quickly and efficiently from start to end – from sourcing content (online or from our in-house studio) to putting on the finishing touches with text animations and motion graphics. Part editor, part animator, and part sound-design-aficionado, youre the hands-on digital media nerd getting it done; mining clips for that visual gold thatll open up engaging and innovative ways to tell stories.
You get the technical stuff (like motion content best practices and new editing techniques). You get the non-technical stuff (people and what moves them, no matter who they may be). And when it comes to creating original content, youre figuratively bursting with ideas.
Well depend on you to fuel our creativity with impactful social, digital, and brand activation campaigns across clients and channels, for video projects ranging from on-location or in-studio, to re-imagining existing footage, all while working hand-in-hand with our in-house Videographer and larger Creative team.
