Collaborate with Creative Leads to bring storyboards and scripts to life.

Select and edit background music to match mood, pacing, and emotional tone.
Ensure visual consistency across multiple scenes, angles, and projects.
Adapt content for multiple platforms (broadcast, YouTube, TikTok, social media).
Maintain organized project files, version control, and delivery timelines.
Participate in creative review meetings and incorporate feedback from the Head of Creative Development.

Requirements & Qualifications

Minimum 1 year of proven video editing experience (commercial, television, or digital content).
Demonstrated ability to produce high-quality commercial ads and promotional videos.
Experience editing for television broadcast or streaming platforms is a strong advantage.

Technical Competencies:

Color Grading & Matching: Expert-level skill in color balancing and matching visual tones across multiple camera angles and scenes.
Audio-Visual Syncing: Precision lip-syncing and dialogue-to-audio synchronization.
Sound Design & Audio Production: Proficient in sound design, mood-appropriate music selection, and SFX integration.
AI-Assisted Workflows: Familiarity with AI-generated footage, prompt-assisted editing, or AI tools (Runway, Pika, etc.) is a strong advantage.
Software Proficiency: Expertise in Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, or equivalent.

Soft Skills:

Strong communication and collaboration skills.
Ability to take creative direction and constructive feedback.
Attention to detail and commitment to quality.
Ability to work under tight deadlines and manage multiple projects.
Understanding of Ethiopian cultural aesthetics, visual storytelling, and audience preferences is a strong advantage.
