About the role

Breaking News ABA is looking for a curious, proactive video editor who enjoys turning raw footage into clear, engaging videos and finding smart ways to use AI in the editing process.

You will edit videos recorded by a member of our team. We value good judgment, creative ideas, and the initiative to learn and improve. Some hands-on editing experience is needed, but you do not need years of professional experience to apply.

• Turn team-recorded footage into polished videos with strong pacing and clear storytelling.
• Add captions, titles, graphics, and supporting visuals where useful.
• Clean up audio and make basic color adjustments.
• Use AI tools for tasks such as transcription, captions, rough cuts, and audio cleanup, while checking the accuracy and quality of the final work.
• Collaborate with our team, respond to feedback, organize project files, and meet agreed deadlines.
• Bring ideas for improving our videos and making the editing process more efficient.

What you will bring

• Some practical video editing experience and work samples you can share. Personal, school, or freelance projects are welcome.
• Comfort with an editing tool such as Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, CapCut, or a comparable tool.
• Hands-on familiarity with AI tools and an interest in learning new ones.
• A good eye for pacing, detail, and visual storytelling.
• Initiative, thoughtful problem-solving, clear communication, and reliability.
• Ability to work in person at our Lake Forest, Illinois office. Office attendance is required.

What to include with your application

• 2–3 examples of videos you have edited.
• A brief note about the editing and AI tools you use.
• An example of how you used those tools to solve a problem or improve a video.
