Senior Video Editor

You'll cut the launch films that introduce Luma's models to millions of creators. As Senior Video Editor, you own the edit, pacing, narrative, and sound design for major product launches and brand campaigns, turning raw model output into cinematic, culture-defining stories. You'll help set the brand's creative identity and the workflows behind it, working to tight launch timelines (a major asset in around 2.5 weeks) in a high-feedback environment where blunt critique is normal. It fits a builder with strong cinematic taste who can own a piece from concept to final render. If you need slow timelines or light feedback, this isn't the seat. What You'll Own Own end-to-end editing, pacing, and narrative for Luma's major launch assets and brand campaigns. Build sound design alongside the edit for a cohesive audio-visual experience from the first cut. Turn raw model outputs and features into visually striking, emotionally resonant narratives. Work with senior motion designer Brett Wietecha and researchers to define the public brand's aesthetic direction. Bring advanced motion graphics, typography, and sound design to a world-class craft bar. Establish scalable creative workflows and asset pipelines for a continuous stream of launches. First 90 Days One way the first 90 could unfold. Days 1–30 — Immerse & Diagnose: Learn the brand, the models, and the launch cadence, and get a first asset moving. Days 30–60 — Ship & Validate: Cut a major launch asset end to end, edit and sound, to the craft bar and the timeline. Days 60–90 — Scale & Systemize: Set up the workflows and pipelines that keep launch output flowing. What You Bring 3–5+ years of professional video editing and motion design, ideally in creative ad agencies, boutique studios, or brand teams. A hands-on portfolio showing opinionated taste, cinematic pacing, and meticulous detail. Expert proficiency with After Effects and DaVinci Resolve. Strong sound design, with a portfolio proving you build narrative-driven soundscapes. High agency and full ownership from concept to delivery. Comfort in a high-feedback environment, treating direct critique as a tool. Nice to Have Experience with generative AI tools (Dream Machine, Runway, Midjourney) in professional workflows. 3D motion design skills (Cinema4D or Blender). A public presence in design, video editing, or motion graphics communities. Experience cutting brand-defining ads or cinematic trailers for top studios or agencies.
