Job Description

Editing Assistant

Parallax

Role Description This is an outcomes-based contractor engagement supporting our editorial team. Success is measured by how much friction you remove from the senior editor's workflow and how cleanly the operation runs because of your work: - Footage organization and prep: Source media ingested, named, tagged, and organized into project structures so the lead editor can find what they need without hunting. Every shoot's footage prepped for editing within 24 hours of receipt. - Rough assemblies and selects: First-pass selects pulled from raw footage based on briefs from the lead editor or producer. Best moments flagged, dead time trimmed, transcripts attached. Delivered structured cleanly enough that the lead editor can refine without rebuilding. - Light cuts and recuts: Simple short-form deliverables (vertical reformats, captioned recuts, platform-specific resizes) produced independently from approved master cuts. Quantity scales with experience — start at 2–3 per week, build from there. - Caption, title, and graphics passes: Captions burned, lower thirds added, and on-screen text formatted to brand spec on cuts assigned to you. - Project hygiene: Clean project files, labeled exports, and archived source media maintained so the team can locate, repurpose, and audit any asset. Nothing gets lost on your watch. - Pipeline support: Whatever helps the senior team ship — uploads to shared drives, version control, asset transfers between editors, communication with producers about footage status. This role works under direction from the lead editor and supervising producer. You will not be defining the editorial voice or making creative calls on flagship content. You will be the person who makes everyone else's work move faster. Qualifications - You're early in your editing career and looking for a serious operation to learn inside of. - You know your way around an editing suite: Premiere, Final Cut, DaVinci, or comparable. You can build a sequence, sync footage, color correct simply, mix audio cleanly. You don't need to be advanced — you need to be reliable. - You're organized: Files named consistently, projects structured clearly, exports labeled correctly. People can find your work without asking you. - You take direction well: You're not trying to override the lead editor's vision — you're trying to learn it and execute against it. When something is unclear, you ask early rather than guess. - You're fast on simple things: Recuts, resizes, caption passes — you turn these around quickly so the senior team isn't waiting on you. - You're hungry for reps: You want volume. You understand that the way you get good is by cutting a lot, watching what works, and getting feedback from someone better than you. - You care about the mission: You want your time and effort applied to something with stakes beyond brand content. - We are not requiring AI fluency for this role. If you have it, great. If you don't, we'll teach you. Benefits - Serious operation, real reps: You'll be working alongside an experienced lead editor on a high-volume, high-quality pipeline. The reps you'll get here in six months are reps that take years elsewhere. - Volume with meaning: The work you support will reach millions of people on the most important civic issue in America. - A path forward: Strong contributors here have a path to expanded scope and compensation as the operation grows. We are growing fast — the editorial team is going from one editor to several, and we want people who can grow into bigger roles as that happens. - Mentorship: You'll be learning from a senior editor and a supervising producer who have done this at scale. - Remote: Work from wherever you work best. We care about what gets shipped, not where you sit. Compensation $4,000 / month retainer paid monthly. Contractor is responsible for all applicable taxes, insurance, and business expenses. No employee benefits provided. How to Apply Send a short note + portfolio or relevant work samples through the application form. If you're the right person for this role, you'll hear from us within a week.
