Help people change their lives through the power of storytelling.

At NGT Academy, education creates opportunity. Every day we meet people ready to rewrite their future — veterans starting a new chapter, parents building stability for their families, career changers taking a leap into tech. Our job is to tell those stories with honesty, clarity, and purpose, and reach hundreds of thousands of people a year doing it.

We're looking for a Senior Video Editor who believes editing is far more than assembling footage. It's finding the emotional truth inside a story and shaping it so it moves people to act. You'll own post-production from raw footage to final delivery across YouTube documentaries, student success stories, brand films, ad campaigns, and social — shaping how people experience NGT everywhere they meet us.

What you'll do

Craft compelling stories from interviews, documentaries, and testimonials
Turn hours of footage into clear, emotionally engaging narratives
Find the strongest moments, cut the distractions, and build pacing that feels effortless
Raise every project through music, sound design, motion graphics, typography, and color
Keep creative quality consistent across every platform
Own projects end to end while collaborating with marketers, educators, and producers
Bring emerging AI tools and modern techniques to the work without losing the authenticity of the story

What makes someone exceptional here

You care more about storytelling than software
You notice the details most people overlook
You know when silence is more powerful than music, and that great editing often means removing, not adding
You welcome feedback because you want the strongest possible work
You take ownership, solve problems, and keep refining long after a project is "done"

What we're looking for

5+ years of professional editing experience
An outstanding portfolio built on storytelling and cinematic editing, not just technical polish
Advanced Adobe Premiere Pro
A strong command of pacing, visual rhythm, and narrative structure
Real experience cutting interviews into compelling stories
Meticulous organization and clear communication, with the ability to run several projects at once

Bonus points

After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, color grading, sound design, Frame.io workflows, YouTube content strategy, commercial advertising, AI-assisted creative workflows, photography or cinematography.

How we work

Story before spectacle. Emotion before effects. Clarity before complexity. Craft before speed. Ownership before instruction. Progress before perfection.

The details

Fully remote, open to candidates worldwide
Full-time contract
Contract rate: $60,000–$72,000 USD/year ($5,000–$6,000/month)

How to apply

To apply, complete our short Intake Form (about 5–8 minutes): https://nexgent.typeform.com/to/CWDnCoBD

You'll confirm your contact info, upload your resume, share a link to your portfolio or reel, and include a 2–3 minute Loom video answering: (1) tell us about yourself, and (2) why this role at NGT. Loom is free at loom.com.

No portfolio and no Loom, no review. For an editor, the reel is the whole conversation.
