Morning Brew is hiring: Video Editor in New York

Overview

We are looking for a video editor who is excited by the prospect of working on a variety of content types for a variety of platforms. The ideal candidate embraces tactics that yield best performance on a platform by platform basis, but also takes the initiative to contribute their own style and creativity. Efficiency is the name of the game, which doesn’t always have to mean moving quickly. Our team embraces the opportunity to learn new tools and software that can improve the quality of our videos and open up new creative possibilities in our editing.

Editors here are not just hands-on keyboards executing notes from a producer. We don’t only welcome your input, but at times need it. We include editors in the scripting and pre-production process to get the best possible outcomes in post. You’re the first to know when the video is dragging, so we want you to call that out and try trimming a few bytes from that interview section.

Responsibilities

• Editing 10-20 minute YouTube videos in a variety of styles (Explainer, vlog, and doc styles are most common, but we’re always experimenting).
• Partnering with producers to craft story, not just executing on directives.
• Music selection, sound design, basic color correction and audio leveling.
• Working and coordinating with motion graphics designers to efficiently incorporate their animations into edits.
• We have a fantastic motion graphics team, but we love it when an editor can quickly put together some basic keyframing motion, text-on-screen moments, and incorporate some Red Giant effects to create basic VFX looks.
• Editing podcast videos and clips for social.
• Working with social video producers on shortform explainers or on-site experiential video edits.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of editing experience in Adobe Premiere Pro.
• Must have experience editing for YouTube and social video platforms.
• Basic proficiency in After Effects or Photoshop is a nice-to-have.
• Ability to be scrappy in Premiere when creating graphics and text elements.
• Comfortable managing multiple edits at a time.
• Can edit for humor and can edit for dense explainers, sometimes in the same video.
• You consume YouTube content and are aware of trends and best practices for the platform.
• You can regularly work from our office in Manhattan.

Compensation

$90,000 - $100,000. Final offers for this job will be made within the parameters of the salary range provided, commensurate with experience. Total offer package to include benefits highlighted under our perks section below.

How We Treat Each Other

• Respectful Can-do — We believe that engaging in timely, constructive, and open discourse is an act of respect that makes for a more transparent and productive work environment.
• Empathy — We establish a strong partnership of trust with our co-workers and partners. We build human connections in order to understand each other.
• Inclusivity — Morning Brew Inc is deeply committed to fostering a transparently inclusive workplace environment, and people of color, women, people with disabilities, veterans, and LGBTQIA+ candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.

How We Treat Our Work

• Curiosity — We learn every day through deliberate inquiry and exploration. We re-examine assumptions to be a better company, offer better products, and become better colleagues.
• Accountability — We celebrate our successes and own our failures. Taking responsibility for our actions allows us to learn from our experiences.
• Bias Toward Action — We know speed matters in business so we embrace quick and calculated risk-taking. We understand that many actions are reversible and therefore we are solutions-oriented, even when facing obstacles and challenges.
• Challenger Mentality — We don’t allow ourselves to be comfortable with our success. We are hungry to become the best and create more value for our audience.
• Clarity of Purpose — We understand the “why” in our work, which helps us to operate at our highest level of performance and efficiency.

Perks

• Brew’s HQ: Pick an adjustable standing desk or cozy corner and load up on free coffee and snacks at our new two-story office space in NYC’s Flatiron District.

• Premium health, vision, and dental plans: Your health matters.
• Mental health benefits: Personalized plans and programs to promote your mental well-being.
• Extra help when you need it: Including a care concierge, plus free access to One Medical and the Calm app.

• Employee Resource Groups: Black Coffee, LGBTQ Brew, AAPI Brew, Cafe Con Leche, and Grounded
• Gym and workout class reimbursements: It pays to be healthy.
• Annual learning credit: Want to learn something new? We’ll reimburse you.

Brief Brew History

Morning Brew Inc. was founded in 2015 by two entrepreneurial college students who noticed their peers were not consuming legacy media resources about business and finance news, but had a high desire to learn about those topics. What started as a small on-campus email has since evolved into a multi-channel media company that operates 20+ unique content franchises. All while maintaining our witty, honest and engaging tone that millions of loyal MBI audience members rely upon daily to better navigate the world.

In 2020 a majority stake in MBI was acquired by Axel Springer SE and in February 2025 that position was increased to full ownership of the business. Axel Springer SE is a family-owned, transatlantic media company headquartered in Berlin and New York that is committed to the values of a free and informed society.
