Lead Video Editor (Remote, EST Hours)

Sweet Fish Media

9d • $70,000 - $80,000 • Remote

About The Position

Sweet Fish Media is a B2B video production company in Orlando, FL, producing a variety of video content including brand films, A.I. video ads, thought leadership content, commercial spots, testimonials, and social series. The company is looking for a Lead Editor who is bothered by mediocre work and wants to redefine what B2B video can look and feel like. This role is central to that mission.

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional editing experience with a portfolio that demonstrates range
• B2B, branded content, agency work and A.I. video expertise strongly preferred
• Expert-level Premiere Pro and After Effects
• Comfortable across DaVinci Resolve, Frame.io, Descript, and AI video generation and editing tools
• A genuine understanding of storytelling structure — you know why a cut works, not just how to make it
• Experience leading or directing other editors, whether in-house or freelance
• Strong motion graphics sensibility — you can build clean, polished assets and know when design serves the story vs. distracts from it
• High operational bandwidth — you can hold the creative and the logistical at the same time, without letting either slip
• A reel that makes us stop scrolling

Nice To Haves

• Experience working in a production company or agency environment with multiple concurrent client projects
• Familiarity with Asana or similar project management workflows for post production
• Comfort with AI-assisted editing tools and utilizing AI across your workflow
• On-set experience — understanding how footage is captured makes you a better editor of it

Responsibilities

• Own the Master Production Workflow — tracking every active project through intake, edit, review, revision, and delivery across a high-volume client roster
• Build and enforce file structure, naming conventions, and archiving standards across all productions
• Serve as the post-production point of contact for producers — translating project needs into clear editorial direction
• Assign, direct, and give meaningful creative feedback to internal editors and a curated bench of freelance editors across simultaneous productions
• Set and uphold editorial standards — polished timelines, clean sequencing, proper pacing, and airtight asset delivery
• Review and quality-check edits before they reach clients — your sign-off means it's ready
• Identify gaps in the freelance bench and help source, evaluate, and onboard new freelance talent when needed
• Contribute to editor development — share technique, give directed notes, and help build a team that raises its own ceiling
• Edit across Sweet Fish's full video type roster: brand films, commercial spots, thought leadership videos, testimonials, case studies, social shorts, podcast video, product demos, event recaps, and even AI social content
• Drive storytelling decisions — structure narratives that are emotionally resonant, not just informationally competent
• Lead motion graphics involvement: create or art-direct graphic assets, lower thirds, kinetic type, and branded visual elements that feel intentional, not templated
• Push client work creatively — bring visual references, push edits past the first cut, and advocate for the version that's actually good
• Help develop and document Sweet Fish's editorial style standards as we expand into new video formats and categories

Benefits

• 15 days PTO
• 15 days of paid company holidays
• 4% 401k match after 90 days
• Health insurance option
