Assistant Editor

$$$

Great American Media is looking for an Assistant Editor to be able to work at our main office in Fort Worth, TX.

We are looking for a contract position for a two-month period, with the potential for an extension.

The Assistant Editor will work with various members of our post-production team, but heavily assist with the QC/TE team to prep content for air as well as additional projects for on-air promos and social.

An ideal candidate is someone with strong attention to detail and organizational skills. This role is focused more on the technical side of post-production, and less creative editing.

We are a small, but growing team and are always on the lookout for great additions to our team. Although we are looking for a short-term contractor for now, there is an opportunity for this to turn into a temp to hire role.

QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Must have intermediate experience with Adobe Premiere
  • Light After Effects experience a plus!
  • Must be able to work in a collaborative environment with other editors, producers and key production staff and be able to take direction from multiple departments
  • This is an in-person position, remote workflow not an option

Please provide a link to a reel or past work if applicable.
