Job Description
Eidra is a leading innovation company expanding in the U.S. market. We’re seeking an experienced Game Content Editing Lead for our client’s AAA First Person Shooter (FPS). This role will be part of a game capture team and responsible for leading the video editing of exciting gameplay video footage captured on PC that showcase the intense gameplay, game atmosphere, and game mechanics that make this next-generation FPS unique. The captured content will be used in marketing assets for the game, such as, but not limited to, trailers, social media content, and promotional material.
In this role, you’ll collaborate closely with the capture team to deliver top-tier assets. You’ll also partner with creative leads at Eidra in Stockholm, Sweden, working together to align on marketing and creative direction for each assignment. You’ll have the opportunity to interface directly with our client and their stakeholders—leading AAA game studios based in the United States—ensuring that all content meets the highest standards and resonates with a global audience. Occasional travel to Stockholm may be available for in-person collaboration and creative workshops.
You will be responsible for managing the backlog of editing tasks for the game content editing team, coordinating and communicating with the Stockholm team on progress and deliverables, as well as overseeing the editing, refinement, and finalization of all captured assets. You will ensure the technical quality and creative consistency of all edited content, manage the editing software and workflows, and facilitate the smooth hand-off of finalized assets to stakeholders.
This is a unique opportunity to play a key role in shaping the marketing campaign for an unreleased AAA game title, working alongside world-class teams in both the US and Europe.
This role is based in Chicago, with a commitment of 5 days per week, Monday-Friday, at Eidra's office located in Fulton Market. As part of our expanding presence in the US, you will also contribute to growing Eidra's footprint in the American market, helping to establish our reputation for excellence in development, strategy, and delivery.
You must be authorized to work in the United States to be considered. Sponsorship is not being offered for this position

• Maintain high standards of quality control and troubleshoot technical issues.
