Job Overview
Our client is seeking a methodical, detail-driven Video Editor to take full ownership of the digital asset lifecycle across an animated comedy library.

Using proprietary content management software, you will package and dispatch ingest-ready delivery batches to major streaming networks, ensuring zero delivery rejections or formatting discrepancies.

To manage this expanding media library, they are onboarding a dedicated remote Video Editor \& Metadata Specialist.
