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.
Responsibilities
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 work actually matters and people notice it.
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
Work in a beautiful San Francisco office with a view and a small team of exceptional creatives
