• Edit rough and final cuts in Adobe Premiere Pro based on scripts, creative direction, and stakeholder feedback.
• Edit across a broad spectrum of formats, ranging from in-depth mini-documentaries, client case studies, and corporate explainers to punchy, fast-paced cutdowns optimized for social media.
• Translate complex engineering or scientific topics into clear, engaging stories through editing, pacing, graphics, and sound design.
• Color correct, finesse audio, and add graphics or motion elements to elevate video quality and support the Hazen brand.
• Organize footage, project files, and media assets to support efficient editing and collaborative post-production workflows.
• Manage multiple projects simultaneously and work efficiently under deadlines.

• Ability and willingness to travel regionally and nationally up to 20% to capture on-location interviews, b-roll, and project site footage.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in video production, film, communications, visual arts, or a related field.
