The Role
As a Lead Editor, you’ll be the creative anchor of your pod. You’ll set the visual standard, guide editors toward stronger work, and help turn campaign strategy into high-performing creative. You’ll still be close to the craft, especially on high-priority campaigns, but your impact will go beyond your own edits.

Your feedback will shape the quality of the team. Your judgment will influence how work gets made. And your leadership will help editors improve faster and make better creative decisions. You’ll also work closely with Creative Directors on team performance, workflow improvements, and your own growth as a leader.

What You’ll Do

Raise the Creative Bar: Set quality standards, give feedback that's actionable and grounded in what drives results, and step into high-priority edits when needed.
Lead Your Pod: Evaluate editors, identify capability gaps, and own staffing decisions — building and developing the strongest possible team to drive post-production output.
Maximize Every Asset: Review footage, curate strong selects, maintain organized libraries, and find smart ways to repurpose content.
Bridge Production and Post: Partner closely with Production on footage quality — flagging issues early and delivering feedback that's actionable and consumer-minded.
Partner with Strategy: Share performance insights and strengthen knowledge-sharing between editorial and Strategy to keep creative decisions grounded in what's working.
Lead with a Business Mindset: Represent editorial in cross-functional conversations, balance creative ambition with production realities, and make the tough calls — on scope, timelines, or team assignments — when it's what the work needs.
Improve the Process: Streamline workflows, explore new tools and AI capabilities, and bring solutions to recurring challenges.
