Video Editor & Producer for Marketing Agency

Video Editor / Post-Production Producer for Nonprofit (Documentary-style) Project We are a boutique marketing agency working with a nonprofit humanitarian organization on a meaningful and mission-driven video project. We are looking for a seasoned video producer and storyteller to join us as a full creative partner from strategy through final delivery. This is not a one-dimensional editing job. We need someone who can think narratively, write compellingly, and cut with precision — someone who understands how to find the story inside a massive footage library and build something that moves people to act. --- The Project You will be editing a suite of nine videos from a large library of professional footage — raw, authentic, and emotionally powerful material captured across active humanitarian operations in high-conflict regions. The deliverables include: A 2-minute flagship organizational overview (donor-facing, event use) Two 1-minute program spotlights Six short-form social reels in square and vertical formats This is not a corporate polish job. The footage is real, the mission is real, and the storytelling needs to honor both. --- WHAT YOU'LL OWN OR CONTRIBUTE TO

• Narrative strategy — helping define the story arc, emotional tone, and messaging approach for each video
• Scriptwriting — developing scripts and voiceover copy that are authentic, compelling, and mission-aligned
• Storyboarding — mapping the visual and narrative structure before we touch the footage
• Footage review and selects — working through a very large library of conflict zone footage to find the moments that matter
• Editing and post-production — constructing narrative-driven edits with strong pacing, emotional resonance, and technical polish
• Interview integration — coordinating and incorporating on-camera interviews
• Multi-format delivery — long-form finals plus social-ready cuts in multiple aspect ratios

We will define accountability and collaboration touchpoints as the project develops — right now we want the right person at the table from the start. --- BEYOND THIS PROJECT We are a growing boutique agency and we are looking for more than a freelancer for a single engagement. If this project is a great fit, we would love to build a long-term working relationship. Future work spans a wide range of formats — brand and promo videos, explainers, AI-generated and UGC-style content, social-first creative, and more. We want one person we can rely on, grow with, and bring into client work as a trusted creative partner. If you are someone who enjoys variety, embraces new formats and tools, and is energized by building something alongside a team — we'd love to talk. --- WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• Proven experience in documentary-style or narrative-driven video production — from concept through delivery
• Ideally scriptwriting and story development skills — not just technical editing
• Comfort navigating large, unorganized raw footage libraries and building stories from the ground up
• A genuine editorial instinct for pacing, emotion, and human connection
• Experience with humanitarian, or nonprofit content is a strong plus
• Someone who is collaborative, communicative, and energized by meaningful work

--- TO APPLY Please share:

• 2–3 samples most relevant to documentary, narrative, or mission-driven storytelling
• A brief note on your experience building stories from large or unorganized footage libraries
• Your creative approach: when it comes to narrative strategy, storyboarding, and scriptwriting — do you develop from scratch, prefer to collaborate, or work best from provided direction?
• Your hourly rate
