NABET Television Editor

Title: NABET- Television Editor

Schedule Format - Location:On-site - San Francisco

Pay Information: $42.18 - $74.64/hr

The Television Editor is principally responsible for the post-production video editing of KQED’s television programs, including “Check, Please! Bay Area” and related show elements. Our editors primarily work in Avid Media Composer, along with Interplay/MediaCentral. The position also requires familiarity with Adobe Creative Cloud, including Premiere and After Effects.

General troubleshooting skills and the ability to work independently are keys to success.

KQED envisions a public media organization with a culture that centers on human dignity, equity, and belonging. This will enable us to better serve and reflect the Bay Area through diverse and inclusive storytelling.

We value the contributions of marginalized people in society — including Black, Indigenous, and all people of color, people with disabilities, and LGBTQIA+ people — and we believe that these communities must be centered in the work we do, and we strongly encourage members of these communities to apply.
