We’re looking for an individual who loves to tell a good story, and who can push the envelope of how it’s told. As a Video Editor, you will join the POOLHOUSE Post-Production department in working with footage, dialogue, music, sound effects and motion graphics to tell the stories of companies, causes and candidates. We know that the story is more than just what’s being said, it’s how something looks and feels. That’s why we need you to care as much about the visuals as the narrative. At the core, your responsibility is to design content that’s shareable, memorable and visually stunning. You will also take the reins on leading our team of editors to enhance their creative potential. The ideal candidate for this role is not only someone who demonstrates seasoned post production skills, but also someone who carries the willingness to lead by example and push all creative boundaries.

This position can be based out of one of our offices in Richmond, VA, Washington, D.C., or Atlanta, GA.
