Are You the Missing Piece?

We all know video is king, and the right editor can turn good content into scroll-stopping, share-worthy, brand-defining magic. That’s exactly what this iconic health institution needs: a Video Editor/Motion Designer who can bring stories to life across every social platform. Is that you?

From slicing interviews into polished clips to adding motion design that makes content pop, you’ll be the go-to creator who keeps their feeds fresh, relevant, and impossible to ignore.

If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, geek out on platform trends, and love seeing your edits rack up views, this could be your next big break. Not to mention, it’s an on-site, 35-to-40-hour-per-week, resume-building opportunity for six months. Perfect for that winter-month hibernation gig you’ve been looking for.

What's it going to take to score an interview?

• Solid editing chops: Pro-level skills in Adobe Premiere Pro + After Effects, with a portfolio that shows off clean cuts, smooth transitions, and motion design flair.
• Social-first instincts: You know how to make content shine on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and beyond, editing with trends, algorithms, and audiences in mind.
• Storytelling savvy: Every cut, overlay, and transition serves the bigger picture. You can take brand guidelines and turn them into engaging visual stories.
• Team-player energy: You’re comfortable collaborating with a hybrid comms team, sharing ideas, and adapting quickly to group strategy.

You should take this meeting because ...

This isn’t just another editing gig; rather, it’s a chance to build your portfolio with steady, meaningful work for a top-tier institution that literally saves lives. You’ll get the credibility of a well-known anchor client, plenty of creative runway to showcase your storytelling chops, and the opportunity to grow into longer-term (even full-time) work if the fit clicks. If you’ve been looking for a role where your edits don’t just look good but actually do good, this is it.
