We are seeking a highly skilled and creative Video Editor to join a growing production team led by a Melbourne-based Director and Producer. This isn't just a "task-taking" role; we are looking for a Strategic Partner who can take high-quality raw footage and transform it into a compelling narrative with minimal hand-holding.

- Workflow Management: Manage file intake and organization via Google Drive and Adobe Creative Cloud.
- Collaborative Revisions: Use Frame.io to review director feedback and implement precise changes efficiently.
- Project Scaling: Handle diverse workloads, ranging from single 15-hour "hero" videos to batches of ten shorter social/related clips.
- Growth Potential: As the partnership evolves, there is the opportunity to expand your role into motion graphics, digital marketing, or SEO support.
Required Technical Skills
- Adobe Premiere Pro: Expert-level proficiency is a must.
- Frame.io: Experience with collaborative review platforms.
- Creative Comprehension: A strong ability to understand complex creative briefs and articulate your editing choices.
- Communication: A minimum of 70% English proficiency (must be able to clearly understand and follow detailed instructions).
Preferred "Bonus" Skills
- Proficiency in DaVinci Resolve for color grading.
- Experience with Motion Graphics and Animation.
- Graphic Design skills for thumbnail or asset creation.
- What We Are Looking For
- 3-4 Years of Professional Experience: You should be comfortable working independently and making creative decisions that align with the brand’s tone.
- Integrity & Excellence: We value freelancers who are resilient, transparent, and looking for a long-term home to grow their careers.
- Strategic Mindset: You don’t just "cut video"—you help solve production bottlenecks and suggest better ways to tell a story.
