Project-Based Video Editor (Premiere Pro) 10–20 hrs/wk

Job Overview
I create videos that explore workplace collaboration and related technologies, from interviews with industry leaders to new product overviews and market insights.

To stay focused on capturing great content in the field and during interviews, I’m looking for a skilled video editor who can bring that footage to life.
