Production & Editing Specialist
Reports To: VP of Client Operations
Ultimate Owner: CEO (Joshua Stanley)
Not the place for you if…
You need a strict 9-to-5. We pay for every minute, but clock-punching cubicles aren’t our thing.
You’re missing the spark. Apathy kills creativity; passion fuels everything we ship.
People work wears you out. Clients, contractors, teammates, humans are 100 % of the job.
Deadlines feel optional. A small agency lives or dies by on-time hand-offs.
You ghost instead of talk. Clear, frequent communication is our operating system.
This is the place for you if …
You love owning the shop. Our founder’s an entrepreneur, and every role runs like a micro-business—you make the calls and stand by the results.
You refuse to ship “good-enough.” Excellence is the floor, not the ceiling—you own every project like it’s your business.
You see life behind every story. Your camera looks past the script to the real people living it day-to-day.
You chase the stretch. Pushing skills, perspectives, and the status quo is your favorite workout.
POSITION SPECIFICS
Level: Intermediate. This role is designed for candidates with 2–3 years of professional experience in video production, editing, and content creation. (Responsibilities, expectations, and pay scale will still flex based on demonstrated expertise.)
Location: Hybrid. You’ll work in our Lancaster City office at least 50% of your hours for collaboration and team meetings. (All interviews are conducted in‑person to ensure a great fit.)
Position Type: Part‑time, 20 hours per week, with a clear path to transition into a long‑term/full‑time position based on performance and business needs.
Compensation: Starts at $18 per hour (DOE) with eligibility for company profit share after the first 90 days.
QUALIFICATIONS
Professional Experience: 2–3 years in video production, editing, or a related field with a portfolio that demonstrates strong creative and technical skills.
Technical Proficiency: Comfortable with professional camera systems (e.g., Blackmagic), lighting setups, audio capture, and post‑production in DaVinci Resolve, After Effects, and Descript (or comparable tools).
Creative & Design Skills: Solid grasp of storytelling, composition, typography, color correction, and motion graphics.
Marketing Mindset: Understanding of how video supports broader marketing strategies; ability to tailor content for multiple platforms (web, social, paid ads, podcasts, livestreams).
Communication & Teamwork: Excellent written and verbal communication; thrives in collaborative, cross‑functional teams.
Independence & Time Management: Proven ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, prioritize tasks, and meet tight deadlines with minimal supervision.
