You’ll guide a group of talented video professionals—primarily junior editors—producing innovative, quick-turnaround content for global brands such as Meta, Amazon, Red Bull, and Shopify. This role blends hands-on creative oversight with people leadership—you’ll build efficient workflows, develop junior talent, and ensure world-class creative output.

Design and implement lean, fast-turnaround workflows, working closely with producers to simplify and streamline processes. Provide on-project support, especially for quick-edit accounts, while remaining hands-on when needed. Mentor and upskill your team, with an emphasis on editing mastery, professional growth, and adoption of AI-assisted workflows. Ensure your team’s work aligns with brand guidelines while pushing creative boundaries. Monitor performance, utilization, and resourcing to support department growth. Foster a positive, resilient, and development-focused culture, ensuring juniors feel supported and equipped to succeed. Champion new tools, techniques, and practices to improve efficiency and quality. What You'll Need to Succeed 3+ years leading creative video teams in a fast-paced, commercial environment. Proven success managing and developing junior creative talent. Solid understanding of the full video production process, with hands-on expertise in post-production (e.g., editing, motion graphics, workflows). Strong proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud (Premiere Pro, After Effects) and familiarity with AI creative tools. Experience building and optimizing production workflows, particularly for fast-turnaround content. Excellent client-facing communication skills and experience liaising with multiple stakeholders. Strategic mindset with the ability to align creative output with business goals. Collaborative leadership style, open to new ideas and driven to continuously improve team performance. Passion for mentorship and capability building in a distributed team. Originally posted on Himalayas
