Episode Editor

We’re looking for a full-time Episode Editor to take full ownership of post-production for #ABtalks episodes, from raw footage to a final-ready master. You’ll shape pacing, emotion, and storytelling while maintaining the show’s signature tone and visual consistency.

Key Responsibilities

• Edit full-length episodes end-to-end (multi-cam interview format).
• Build the story: structure, pacing, tension/release, and emotional beats.
• Sync and organize multi-camera footage + audio; manage selects and timelines.
• Color correction and basic grading to match the show’s look (or prep for final grade).
• Audio cleanup/mixing basics (dialog clarity, levels, noise reduction) or coordinate with sound if applicable.
• Integrate graphics, subtitles/captions, cutaways/B-roll, and archival where needed.
• Smart cropping if needed that would not be noticeable.
• Create deliverables: final masters, social cutdowns (if required), and platform-specific exports.
• Maintain clean project organization (bins, naming conventions, backups, versioning).
• Collaborate closely with the release and production coordinator, producer, consultant as well for notes and revisions under deadlines.
• Ensure consistency across episodes (style, rhythm, branding, technical specs).

Requirements

• Strong narrative editing skills (interview/story-driven content).
• Proven experience delivering full episodes (podcast/interview/docu-style).
• Advanced proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro (or Avid/DaVinci Resolve—specify your pipeline).
• Confident workflow with multi-cam, proxies, and shared storage.
• Strong understanding of dialogue-driven pacing and emotional storytelling.
• High attention to detail, deadlines, and feedback cycles.
• Fluent in Arabic and English (depending on your episodes; add requirements as needed).

Nice to Have

• Experience with long-form talk shows or documentary edits.
• After Effects basics (titles, lower thirds, simple animations).
• Experience with Arabic subtitle standards and readability.
• DaVinci Resolve color workflow familiarity.

What Success Looks Like

• Episodes that feel emotionally true, tightly paced, and consistent with the #ABtalks identity.
• Fast, organized turnovers and smooth revision cycles.
• Reliable delivery of final exports meeting technical specs.

To Apply

• Portfolio links (2–3 relevant long-form edits)

• Software used + availability
• Optional: a short note on your editing approach for interview storytelling
