Senior Video Editor

Full-Time | Columbus, OH

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Senior Video Editor is a hands-on creative role at the heart of Hunter’s growing production team. Your primary responsibility is simple: make exceptional video.

We’re looking for an incredibly strong editor who can find the story in the footage, elevate the creative and turn raw assets into work that is smart, beautiful and effective. But we also want someone who thinks beyond the edit—someone who understands the strategy behind the work, contributes creative ideas and can step into the field to help direct, shoot or solve a production challenge when needed.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Lead editing across Hunter’s video work, from social and paid media to broadcast, brand films, interviews and long-form storytelling.
Own post-production from raw footage through final delivery, including story, pacing, music, sound, color, graphics and finishing.
Understand the client, audience and objective behind the work—not just the footage in front of you.
Collaborate with production, creative, content and strategy teams to shape stronger ideas and stories.
Contribute during concepting and pre-production, bringing an editor’s perspective to treatments, scripts, shot lists and creative approaches.
Think across platforms and identify opportunities to turn a single shoot into a larger ecosystem of content.
Support production in the field when needed, including shooting, directing talent, conducting interviews and helping capture what the final story needs.
Partner with and support other editors and production team members to continually raise the quality of Hunter’s video work.
Manage multiple projects and deadlines while maintaining exceptionally high creative and organizational standards.
Stay curious about emerging production, editing and AI tools that can make our work better and our team stronger.

WHAT YOU BRING

3+ years of professional video editing experience in an agency, production or brand environment.
Exceptional visual storytelling instincts and a portfolio that demonstrates them.
Advanced proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects; DaVinci Resolve experience is a plus.
Strong skills in pacing, music, sound design, color and motion graphics.
Experience editing for social, digital, paid media, broadcast and longer-form content.
Working knowledge of cameras and production, with the ability to support shoots when needed.
A creative point of view and the confidence to contribute ideas—not simply execute direction.
An understanding of how creative connects to strategy, audience and business objectives.
Excellent organization, judgment and attention to detail.
A collaborative mindset and genuine desire to make the work—and the people around you—better.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

Great work leaves your hands better than it arrived. You aren't just asking, “Is the edit finished?”

You're asking:

Is the story clear?
Does it make someone feel something?
Does it accomplish what the client needs it to accomplish?
Could we make it better?

You become a trusted creative partner to our production team and the broader agency. People want you involved early because your perspective makes the final work stronger.

And while editing remains your primary responsibility, you're capable of stepping beyond the edit bay when the work needs you.
