Assistant Video Editor

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Vox Media is looking for an Assistant Video Editor to join a growing post-production team within the branded content division for Vox and New York Magazine. This role is built for an editor early in their career who is sharp with turnkey and templated formats, comfortable owning quick-turn social cuts independently, and eager to grow into larger, more complex projects under supervision. You'll also work closely with the Post-Production Supervisor to set up and organize projects for external editors, making you a key connective piece between in-house editing and the freelance bench. Editing and Craft

• Edit turnkey and templated content such as cutdowns, recaps, and repeatable social formats for various platforms
• Cut quick-turn social edits independently, following established templates and house style
• Take on larger or more complex edits with guidance from the Post-Production Supervisor and Creative Directors, building toward independent ownership of bigger projects over time
• Add basic music and sound design to elevate templated pieces
• Apply light color and LUTs following house presets

Project Setup and Coordination

• Partner with the Post-Production Supervisor to set up and organize projects for external/freelance editors such as bins, sequences, and file structure, following in-house SOPs
• Create stringouts for Editors and Creative Directors per project
• Prep and organize incoming footage, dailies, and assets ahead of handoff to external editors
• Support project wrap-out and archiving, keeping files clean and organized across both in-house and external-editor projects

Workflow and Technical

• Work in Adobe Premiere, including Team Projects and Productions, following house SOPs for project, bin, sequence, and track structure
• Support turnovers to color and sound mix during finishing on larger projects
• Work flexibly across a remote and hybrid workflow, including shipping/receiving drives and cloud sync as needed

Collaboration and Delivery

• Share cuts via Frame.io and address internal notes accurately, flagging concerns proactively
• Maintain clear communication with producers, the Post-Production Supervisor, and external editors
• Learn from and support senior editors on shared projects, with room to grow into more senior editing responsibility over time
