Video Editor

Overview:

At REI Co-op, we believe time outside is time well spent. As a Video Editor for our product video program, you help tell that product story with clear video. You help bring the co-op voice to life. You turn raw footage into polished content. Your work primarily supports product stories and demonstrations, and at times may have focus on campaigns, social posts, team updates, and leader messages. You work with studio leaders, producers, creative partners, and outside editors. Together, you plan, edit, finish, and deliver video for many channels. You also help keep files, labels, and usage rights in order. This helps teams find and use video assets with trust.

Responsibilities:

• Edit and version high volume product videos as primary focus and supplement additional video edits for REI digital channels. Work may include product page assets, social cutdowns, campaigns, and team messages.
• Build clear stories through shot flow, pacing, music, graphics, color, sound, and final file delivery.
• Join planning for shoots. Help shape story needs, shot lists, and post-production plans.
• Work with producers, creative teams, studio leaders, freelance contributors, and outside edit teams. Keep work clear and on track.
• Manage video files, metadata, naming, usage rights, and handoffs in asset tools.
• Watch video tools and trends. Share useful ways to improve REI’s workflow and final content.
