Job Description

WHO WE ARE

Named by Adweek as 2021’s “Hottest in Podcasts,” the Vox Media Podcast Network has over 150 active shows featuring industry-leading editorial voices and storytellers from Vox Media’s networks and beyond. From daily news and tech to culture and sports, and talk and interview shows to news and rich narrative storytelling, the Vox Media Podcast Network is one of the largest, fastest-growing, and most topically diverse collections of premium podcasts.

The Vox Media Podcast Network is part of Vox Media, the leading modern media company. We guide our audience from discovery to obsession. We inspire essential conversations about what’s now, what’s next, and what’s possible. 

As a community of journalists and storytellers, business professionals, creators and technologists, we believe it is a moral and business imperative to amplify voices: to cultivate diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout our organization and media. This applies to our candidates, our teams, our storytelling, our creative work, and our platforms, products, and partnerships.

The Vox Media Podcast Network is looking for a Video Editor to support the expansion of its multiplatform publishing and establish a distinctive visual identity across a slate of culture-forward, personality-driven shows. This role will lead the video editing workflow for full-length episodes and collaborate on the creation of compelling short-form content optimized for social platforms.

The ideal candidate is meticulous and fast as a technical editor, understands how podcasts move through the modern media ecosystem, and has a strong sense of visual style along with a  portfolio of conceptually bold work. 

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Lead the editing and visual post-production for full-length podcast episodes distributed on YouTube and video platforms.
• Create standout short-form content for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and X that turn great moments into shareable culture.
• Translate the personality and pacing of digital creators' social video presence into a distinct and elevated podcast aesthetic.
• Design and integrate dynamic motion graphics, lower thirds, captions, and visual cues that enhance narrative and tone.
• Ensure consistent visual branding through smart use of color, typography, and layout across both longform and shortform edits.
• Address mixed-location interviews (e.g., Zoom + studio) with creativity — ensuring cohesion and polish across footage types.
• Implement split-screen layouts, on-screen text, and other techniques that keep conversations visually engaging and viewer-friendly.
• Collaborate with hosts, producers, and showrunners to iterate quickly and deliver high-quality video content on a regular schedule.
• Source and incorporate archival video or social content where relevant to deepen storytelling.
• Stay ahead of podcast video trends and contribute ideas that push visual strategy forward.

WHO YOU ARE

• 5+ years of experience in podcast or social video production for a media brand or individual talent. 
• Fluency with Premiere Pro, Final Cut, or other video editing programs. Experience with motion design a plus.
• A keen eye for identifying the planned editing flow during a recording, a well-honed sense of pacing out a show/story arc, and ability to apply these skills on tight deadlines..
• A portfolio that showcases your ability to shape voice, tone, and rhythm.
• Comfort integrating motion graphics, typography and on-screen text to enhance clarity, emphasis, or humor.
• Experience with multi-camera editing and visual storytelling techniques like split-screens, overlays, and animated inserts.
• Ability to maintain brand consistency while experimenting with new formats and storytelling angles.
• Passion for building a visual language that lives across platforms in collaboration with varied groups of creative stakeholders.
• Deep knowledge of the social media landscape and excitement about evolving podcasts as dynamic, multiplatform media products.
