• You are knowledgeable yet open to new ideas, and ththought of a messy Premiere project enrages you. We push the boundaries every day and are looking for someone who wants to do the same.
• Our ideal candidate above all else, will need to be adaptable and thrive under pressure. If a candidate wants to exceed our expectations, they will obsess over marrying their knowledge and skill set into our culture and content formats.
• The Video Editor will work on building out the short-form content engine. This will involve working on assets like interview-styled + piece-to-camera formats.

• Be creative yet systematic in your approach to delivering great work
Some visual and writing references that we closely relate with on short-form content are Diary of a CEO & Johnny Harris. This does not mean we hate other creators. We like the way they depict the form & function while making sure it’s educational. We have strong views of what is great quality content & matching the sense of taste in the team.
• We strongly believe education is a business of trust. Great writing builds trust and perceived value above all. We want our writing to be the benchmark across media companies (think Vox, Netflix, Masterclass ) of the world.
Where can this role evolve, really?
