8d • Onsite

About The Position

Distant Moon is seeking a Series Editor to lead post-production for Human Flourishing, our long-form conversational series featuring conversations with founders, entrepreneurs, creatives, craftsmen, leaders, and others pursuing excellence, meaningful work, and lasting impact. Unlike our project-based Film Editors, this role owns the editorial workflow for a recurring show—from full-length video podcast episodes to derivative content and platform-ready deliverables. We're looking for someone who enjoys building efficient, repeatable systems for producing high-quality content at scale while maintaining the storytelling standards that define Distant Moon's work.

Requirements

• Approximately 3–5+ years of professional editing experience.
• A portfolio demonstrating strong storytelling instincts, editorial judgment, and the ability to identify emotional hooks that keep audiences engaged.
• Experience editing multi-camera, interview-driven, or long-form conversational content.
• Strong working knowledge of Premiere Pro and Adobe Creative Cloud.
• Comfortable performing basic color correction, sound cleanup, music editing, and audio sweetening.
• Able to work independently while collaborating effectively with directors and producers.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.

Nice To Haves

• Familiarity with YouTube and platform-specific content packaging is a plus
• Familiarity with AI-powered editing tools and workflows that improve editorial efficiency and content production.
• After Effects or motion graphics experience
• Color workflow familiarity
• On-set production experience
• Interest in long-form narrative filmmaking

Responsibilities

• Own the editorial workflow for Human Flourishing from ingest through publishing.
• Shape long-form conversations into engaging, story-driven episodes.
• Transform a single source recording into full-length episodes, derivative content, and platform-ready deliverables.
• Identify compelling moments and create derivative content for YouTube and other platforms.
• Edit custom title-sequences and “sizzlers" that support the show and drive engagement.
• Develop and refine repeatable workflows that efficiently transform long-form conversations into high volumes of platform-ready content.
• Collaborate with directors and producers to evolve the creative identity of the series.
• Continuously improve the editorial workflow, quality, and audience engagement of a recurring series over time.
