Set and enforce editorial standards, from story structure through finishing and delivery.
Provide decisive editorial direction; review cuts and give actionable notes.
Approve final outputs prior to management/client review.

Shared Storage & Media Management

Maintain logical year/client/project structures; manage ingest, backups, and archive/reuse policies.

Hardware & Software Stewardship

Continuous Improvement

Audit and optimize workflows in DaVinci Resolve (and companion tools).
Identify emerging techniques/tech and implement process improvements.
Document SOPs for recurring work (series, social cut-downs, versioning, captions, delivery specs).

Philosophy & Collaboration

Strong communicator who can balance company visual standards with each producer’s creative direction.
Adaptable to client goals and able to bridge expectations with clear options and outcomes.

What You Bring

Experience partnering closely with producers and DPs; quick, confident editorial decision-making.
Fluency in media management, shared storage (NAS/SAN), remote collaboration, and QC.
Strong finishing chops (audio handoff, color pipelines/LUTs, captions/subtitles, broadcast/web specs).
