Job Description

Senior Editor

Location: Costa Mesa (on-site)

Salary - $100,000 - $110,000

About the Role

We are partnering with a design and experiential agency to place a Senior Editor within their post-production team. This is not a seat-filler role. Our client produces premium brand work across video, live events, and integrated campaigns — and they need an editor who shapes stories, not just assembles cuts.

If you treat editing as a craft and hold yourself to a high standard across every frame, read on.

What You'll Do

• Lead edits from concept through finish — owning narrative structure, pacing, tone, performance, and emotional arc
• Contribute creative direction early in the process: concept hooks, story approaches, visual references
• Collaborate with producers and PMs; take ownership of keeping projects moving
• Execute finishing components including motion graphics (After Effects), typography, color (DaVinci Resolve or equivalent), music selection, sound design, and SFX polish
• Partner with production teams and external vendors; hold the line on input quality (footage, design, audio)
• Prep and QC deliverables for large-format LED screens and live event playback — non-standard resolutions, multi-screen formats, venue-specific specs
• Present work to clients confidently and translate feedback into creative solutions without losing the integrity of the work

What We're Looking For

• A reel/portfolio that demonstrates premium storytelling, visual taste, and craft
• Sharp editorial instincts with a working understanding of the full post pipeline
• Confidence owning creative decisions in front of both internal teams and clients
• High ownership, collaborative mindset — you raise the bar without making it about you
• Composure under pressure; solutions-oriented, not surprise-oriented

Required Skills

• Advanced proficiency in Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro
• Strong working knowledge of After Effects
• Excellent visual sensibility — design, typography, layout
• Solid color workflow fundamentals (DaVinci Resolve or comparable)
• Audio fundamentals: dialogue cleanup, mix balance, music and SFX integration
• Large-format deliverable experience: LED canvases, non-standard aspect ratios, safe zones, multi-output versions

Nice to Have

• Experience pitching creative concepts to clients
• Experience sourcing or leading shoots / working with production crews
• Experience collaborating with CGI/3D teams
• Live event post experience: ballrooms, conference stages, experiential installs, concerts

How to Apply

Please submit the following:

• Your reel/portfolio link
• A brief note on your role in 2–3 featured pieces (concept, edit, motion, color, sound, etc.)
• danieln@noorstaffing.com

Benefits include medical, dental, vision, retirement, and PTO. Comprehensive benefits package available; see link for details.
