Overview
As a Video Editor, you will play a key role in crafting high-quality, high-performance content across our core video formats - across The High Performance Podcast slate. This includes editing podcast episodes, segments, trailers, and social-first cuts designed to engage and grow audiences.
You’ll take ownership of your edits from brief through to delivery, combining strong storytelling instincts with technical precision. Working closely with producers, social teams, and strategists, you’ll help shape compelling narratives that resonate with audiences. This is a hands-on, collaborative role where creative input is encouraged, feedback is continuous, and growth is expected.
