FREELANCE ASSISTANT EDITOR Job at mOcean in New York

Assistant Editor

Mocean is hiring a freelance Assistant Editor to support our Social team. This is an entry-level role built for someone early in their career who wants real reps cutting social campaigns for major studios and brands.
You'll work remotely on a contract basis, reporting to Senior Editors and the Creative Director. Day-to-day, you'll handle media management, organize project files, prep timelines for editors, cut versions and resizes from senior editors' masters, take light editing assignments of your own, and manage exports and deliveries to spec. The work moves fast and the specs are exacting. This is a role where being organized and being precise matter equally.
