Job Description

We’re excited to grow our network of talented freelance video editors who are passionate about storytelling and the outdoors. If you’re a detail-oriented post-production pro with strong organizational skills, experience conceptualizing scrappy, creative edits, and a deep understanding of outdoor culture and active lifestyles, we’d love to hear from you.

As new assignments arise, we reach out to freelancers whose skills and experience align with the needs of each project. We look forward to building lasting relationships and collaborating on inspiring content that resonates with our audience.

Please note: This form is for joining our freelance video editor roster. It is not for pitching story concepts or submitting completed videos. Our content team will contact you if your background matches our needs for an upcoming project.

• Add stock imagery, music, and sound design as needed to enhance the final product.
  
  
• Maintain organization in file management and versioning workflows across cloud and local systems.

Qualifications

• Proven experience editing short- and medium-form videos for digital platforms (outdoor, fitness, or lifestyle brands are a plus).
  
  
• Strong storytelling instincts and the ability to bring narratives to life through pacing, visuals selection, color grading, motion graphics design,, and sound design.
  
  
• Expertise in Adobe Premiere Pro (After Effects and Canva are a bonus).
  
  
• Ability to work independently, meet deadlines, and manage feedback in a remote, fast-paced environment.
  
  
• Familiarity with vertical and horizontal video formats, social-first content, and best practices for video on different platforms.
  
  
• A genuine passion for the outdoors and for helping more people experience it through impactful visual stories.
