Are you the kind of editor who lives for the adrenaline of a breaking news cycle and knows exactly how to turn raw footage into a powerful, high-impact narrative? Arizona's Family is looking for a high-energy News Video Editor to join our team in Phoenix. We don't just "cut tape" here; we craft visual experiences across broadcast, social, and digital platforms that empower Arizonans to live their best lives.

What You Bring
Non-linear expertise:
You're a pro with modern editing software and understand the technical nuances of digital workflows.
News-first mindset:
You understand the urgency of a newsroom and can pivot from a breaking news clip to a long-form feature without missing a beat.
Visual storytelling chops:
You have an "eye" for great shots and an "ear" for perfect pacing that keeps viewers engaged.
Digital fluency:
You understand what makes a video go viral and how to optimize news content for different social platforms.
Grace under pressure:
You thrive in a fast-paced, high-stress environment and never miss a deadline (even when the clock is ticking down).
Technical savvy:
Familiarity with receiving feeds and managing assets in a content management system.
Team-first attitude:
You're a communicator who lifts the team and is always looking for ways to improve the final product.

Work for Arizona's most-watched station and a leader in multi-platform innovation.

Your work helps raise millions for local charities and powers movements like our Surprise Squad.
