Join our expanding creative team at Abstraction Media, based in the heart of vibrant West Hollywood! We’re seeking a talented and fluent Farsi-speaking video editor to work on a growing catalog of Farsi-language comedy content, including stand-up performances, podcast segments, promotional videos, and more.

This is a unique opportunity to apply your editing skills in a fast-paced creative environment while working with content that celebrates the humor, energy, and identity of Persian-speaking communities.

The ideal candidate is a versatile editor with a sharp eye for comedic timing, a deep familiarity with social media formats, and a strong understanding of short-form, unscripted content. You'll be editing Farsi-language material, so fluency in spoken and written Farsi is required to ensure editorial accuracy, tone, and cultural relevance.

You’ll often work autonomously and without scripts, so initiative, intuition, and a deep sense of story and pacing are essential.

Please note: This position requires on-site work at our West Hollywood office.

• Review and identify compelling Farsi-language content for short-form edits
• Generate accurate logs and transcripts (in Farsi) for efficient content management
• Edit videos for platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube
• Perform light color correction and basic audio adjustments
• Collaborate with team members to review cuts and implement feedback
• Create eye-catching thumbnails and cover images
• Maintain workflow standards, meet deadlines, and contribute to internal content tracking systems
• Fluency in written and spoken Farsi (required due to the Farsi-language nature of the content)
• Expert-level experience with DaVinci Resolve (or strong proficiency with a willingness to learn)
• Solid understanding of audio sync for single and multi-cam setups
• Strong organizational and media management skills
• Experience editing content for comedy, podcasting, or short-form vertical platforms
• Familiarity with online culture, meme formats, and social trends
• Working knowledge of Basecamp, Airtable, Google Drive, etc.
• Bonus: Skills in Adobe After Effects, Photoshop, and/or color grading
• Work with a team at the intersection of comedy, content, and culture
• Edit content with impact and reach across global platforms
• Collaborate directly with comedians and creatives
• Be part of a mission to amplify underrepresented voices in the media

How to Apply

Please submit the following:

• Your resume
• Your portfolio or reel (Farsi-language editing samples strongly preferred)
• A short note about your experience editing in Farsi

Applications without relevant samples will not be considered.

Abstraction Media is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. The ability to understand and edit Farsi-language content is a bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ) for this role due to the nature of the material being produced.
