  • Proactively identify creative ways to incorporate text, sound effects, music and more to make videos more engaging.
  • Take ownership over the final exports as much as producers do. Bring your technical skill and creativity to every edit and be self-sufficient. Build cuts based on scripts and articles with little guidance from producers.
  • Maintain brand consistency and quality standards across all video content, ensuring alignment with Dotdash Meredith's brand voice and style.
  • Manage feedback from producers and deliver flawless edits and revisions; strive to catch errors before they make it up the chain.
  • Execute basic color correction and audio mixes.
