About The Position

At Awana, we believe in the power and importance of shaping faith, inspiring action, and igniting the hearts of the next generation. As a Video Editor, you will play a key role in bringing those stories to life that do just that—helping kids, families, and leaders around the world experience the Gospel in fresh, compelling ways. In this role, you will craft dynamic video content for a variety of platforms and audiences—from discipleship curriculum and leader training to social media, sales, and marketing initiatives. Your primary focus will be on post-production, where you'll collaborate closely with our Creative and Communications teams (and other ministry partners) to produce videos that are not only visually excellent, but missionally aligned. You'll thrive in this role if you are a creative problem-solver who can navigate tight deadlines and shifting priorities with grace. We're looking for someone who sees video not just as a product, but as a powerful tool in our mission of equipping leaders to reach kids the gospel and engage them in lifelong discipleship. This position is primarily remote with occasional travel required based on strategic organizational meetings/events. Primary travel locations would be our offices in St. Charles, IL or Nashville, TN. Hiring Range for this position is: $46,600 to $56,000 annually.
