Video Editor

Insight Global · Multiple locations ·

Pay:
$7.50-$11.25/hr
Job type:
Full Time

Duration: August 17 – September 25, 2025

Years of Experience: 6+ years of professional video editing experience with proven experience in large scale events, keynote presentations or product storytelling.

About the Role
We're looking for a versatile, experienced Editor to cut pre-produced video segments for a high-profile technology keynote and support short-form social content surrounding the event. Your work will span product demos, narrative films, sizzle reels, and thumb-stopping social pieces — all produced to the highest standard for stage, broadcast, and social.

The ideal candidate can do two things well: punchy, trend-driven social content and clear tech-forward storytelling. You live on the internet, know what's trending, and can nail quick cuts just as easily as smooth, high-end edits. Bonus if you're into tech and comfortable using AI tools.

You'll collaborate closely with producers, keynote designers, motion designers, and creative leads through multiple review cycles, while also partnering with Comms to strategically produce content that supports C-level executive announcements across social channels. This role demands someone who is technically excellent, editorially sharp, and thrives in a fast-moving, high-stakes creative environment.
