Video Editor

We're looking for an organized, eager, and talented Junior Video Editor to join our creative team in Point Richmond, CA. You'll work closely with our producers, editors, and animators to help bring projects from ingest, to rough assembly, and through final delivery. The best candidate has sharp technical chops, a genuine eye for storytelling, and the kind of low-ego collaborative spirit that makes the whole process (and final output) better. We tell stories for brands like Adobe, HPE, and Anthropic and they all require both technical precision and creative taste in equal measure. If you're someone who watches a rough cut and immediately feels where it needs to breathe (or where it's dragging), you'll fit right in. This is a full-time hybrid position that requires you to join us (in-person!) in Point Richmond for three days out of the week. What you'll be doing Apply best-practice assistant editor techniques: ingesting and organizing media, syncing audio, managing proxies, and maintaining clean, well-labeled project structures Cut and assemble footage across commercial, documentary, and brand projects under the guidance of our lead editor Handle music search and editing, sound design, color correction, and export across a range of deliverable formats Collaborate daily with editors, animators, and producers in a fast-paced, highly creative studio environment Manage media organization, file naming, and long-term project archiving including LTO tape backups Jump in wherever needed. Skycar is a small team and we all wear a few extra hats Who you are 1–3 years of video editing experience (agency, production company, or freelance) Strong command of Premiere Pro and Frame.io – familiarity with the broader Adobe Creative Suite Meticulous and tidy! You know how a project should be organized before a single cut is made, and you care deeply about keeping it that way A portfolio that shows range: pacing, storytelling, and a diversity in content Sharp attention to detail (did the LUT change a tiny bit at 11:07?) A collaborative mindset and the ability to take and give feedback graciously Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously without losing your cool (or your files!) Nice to have Experience with Adobe After Effects Technical aptitude with workstations and IT Some experience with archiving footage and data Dog-friendly - dogs often hang around here! #J-18808-Ljbffr
