Video Editor

Full-time & contract roles available · In-office (hybrid considered)

THE ROLE
We're looking for a versatile Video Editor to join our in-office team in San Francisco. You'll collaborate closely with directors, producers, and clients directly across a wide range of projects — docu-style films, polished brand spots, narrative pieces, and everything in between. No two projects look quite the same here.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Edit across multiple styles and formats: docu-style, brand, narrative, commercial

Work directly with directors and producers from assembly cut through final delivery

Receive feedback, iterate fast, and maintain quality under real deadlines

Manage your own project files, organization, and delivery pipeline

Interface with clients — presenting work, incorporating notes, representing Story well, alongside producers and other team members

Own finishing videos through color and sound, also occasionally collaborating with VFX teams

KEY ATTRIBUTES

A true passion for editing. (This is the whole job.)

Strong sense of pacing, rhythm, and dynamic storytelling

Highly iterative mindset

Fast turnarounds without sacrificing quality

Self-motivated and organized with a solid work ethic

Open to feedback and able to implement notes quickly and effectively

Willing to push back on ideas that aren’t hitting the mark

Good communicator who works well in a collaborative team environment

HOW WE WORK
We move fast and we work hard. Projects are highly collaborative, and the quality bar is something we're constantly trying to raise.

We're a small team, which means your effort and input actually matter!

OUR TAKE ON AI
We believe in real people doing real work. We don’t believe in AI replacing human creativity but are open to using it as a tool in our pipeline where we feel it can help most: think storyboarding, certain VFX elements, workflow support.

REQUIREMENTS

Strong portfolio with diverse array of work; narrative, documentary, brand film, etc.

Proficiency in DaVinci Resolve

Ability to complete a paid test edit as part of the hiring process

Based in the SF Bay Area or willing to relocate

Prior professional experience and college degrees are not required — your work speaks for itself.

BENEFITS

Salary: $80,000 – $120,000

Health care & dental for FTE

Work in a beautiful San Francisco office with a view and a small team of exceptional creatives

Free lunch
