• The ability to work on-site at our Brooklyn office 3 days per week and be based in the NYC metropolitan area.
• A strong, practical understanding of various social media platforms (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X, etc.) and how video is consumed on each.
• Previous internship experience or a portfolio of personal/academic projects that demonstrates an interest and aptitude for video editing and digital media management.
• Hands-on experience with video editing software; proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro is highly desired. Familiarity with mobile editing tools (e.g., CapCut) is also a plus.
• Excellent organizational and time-management skills, with a keen eye for detail that is essential for logging, archiving, and tracking assets.
