This is a multifaceted role that requires the right talent to generate daily short-form videos, and be a fast and efficient editor for our half-hour television program, Defense News Weekly. The Editor will be expected to pitch and source short-form/social videos on a daily basis with the goals of maximizing follower base and impressions, and creating growth across social platforms, tracking relevant analytics.

The editor should eventually be able to handle all elements of creating a video, from finding and sourcing stories, to writing scripts to editing or shooting any additional footage if needed, with proper lighting and audio collection. Training will be provided.
This position will also upload videos to various CMS and social media platforms, and generate copy and thumbnails to accompany videos and stories.
To track what efforts are working best the Editor will also need to track analytics to be able to report to the team what is performing, and what is not.
This is a highly challenging and fast-paced role that requires a jack-of-all-trades experience set and suite of multimedia capabilities. Knowledge of Adobe products and Premiere Pro are required. The ability to learn on the job and absorb new skills quickly is key.
