Day to day you will work closely alongside the Content Lead and Producer to assist in developing ideas, scoping video productions and personally overseeing the post-production process across the agency. You will be responsible for editing a variety of content outputs across a broad budget range as well as overseeing our network of freelance editors to complete overflow work when required.
