Requirements
1) End-to-End Post Workflow
Own the post pipeline from ingest to archive: media wrangling, syncing, proxy creation, assembly/rough cuts, picture lock, conform/online, and mastering.
Use proxy workflows for speed, then relink to camera originals for final export to preserve quality and metadata.
2) Editing Craft & Story
Build tight narratives for editorial features, cover stories, fashion/beauty, design, interviews, and branded content.
Suporting commercial teams with storyboards, ideation, examples and quick drafts for sales.
Execute multi-cam edits, speed-ramping, tasteful transitions, and title/lower-third systems that align with each brand’s visual language.
3) Motion Graphics & Packaging
Design and maintain modular motion packages (opens, lower thirds, supers, end slates, captions templates), creating MOGRT/AE templates for repeatable use across brands.
Collaborate with Art/Design to ensure motion matches typography, color, and composition rules of each title.
4) Color Management & Finishing
Perform base color balancing and look-matching; prep conforms for advanced grading when required (e.g., Resolve).
Apply modern color-managed practices (e.g., ACES where appropriate) to ensure consistent cross-platform output and future-proofed masters.
5) Audio Post & Loudness
Dialogue cleanup, noise reduction, music editing, VO layback, and basic mix.
Deliver to recognized loudness practices (integrated LUFS and true-peak), aligning with EBU R128 and ITU-R BS.1770 measurement approaches.
6) Platform Mastering & Versioning
Create aspect-ratio and duration variants (16:9 long-form; 9:16/1:1/4:5 social) with platform-specific exports, thumbnails, and captions.
Follow current delivery guidance for YouTube (codec/frame-rate/bandwidth), Instagram Reels (9:16; min 30fps), and TikTok (9:16 recommended; 1080×1920).
7) Captions, Subtitles & Localization
Create and manage captions/subtitles (e.g., SRT) and localized texted versions; ensure accuracy, timing, and brand tone in English/Arabic where needed.
8) Review Cycles, Approvals & Client Service
Run structured review cycles (cuts, notes, lock, finish) using collaborative tools for time-coded feedback; present work to internal stakeholders and brand partners.
Partner with the Head of Video, Creative/Editorial, and Brand Partnerships to deliver premium edits for commercial campaigns while protecting editorial integrity.
9) Media Management, DAM & Delivery
Maintain meticulous project structures, naming, and metadata; generate textless masters, clean versions, and layered archives for re-use.
Deliver final packages per spec (master, mezzanine, social derivatives, artwork, textless, caption files) and archive according to policy.
10) Occasional Field/Studio Support (as needed)
Support shoots selectively (e.g., slate/logging, media offload, look tests) to ensure post-friendly acquisition; primary remit remains editing.
Qualifications
5+ years professional editing experience in premium media/agency environments, with a reel spanning editorial and branded content.
Expert in Adobe Premiere Pro; strong After Effects for titles/graphics; working knowledge of DaVinci Resolve (color conforms) and Audition/Resolve Fairlight for audio.
Solid understanding of codecs, color spaces and deliverables (ProRes/DNx/H.264/H.265; 24/25/30/50/60fps; 4:2:0 vs 4:2:2), proven proxy/relink workflows and collaborative review practices.
Fluency in platform-native outputs for YouTube/Instagram/TikTok, including aspect ratios, durations, and safe-zone considerations.
Detail-obsessed with QC, rights, releases, music licensing, and captioning best practices.
Calm under pressure; excellent communication; able to juggle multiple brand stakeholders.
Arabic/English bilingual a plus.
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
On-time delivery rate and adherence to spec across brands/platforms.
QC pass rate (audio loudness, color/levels, tech specs) and reduced re-edit cycles.
Throughput & efficiency (edits delivered, turnaround time, effective re-use of templates/packages).
Engagement uplift on video posts (completion, VTR, watch time) in partnership with Audience teams.
Stakeholder satisfaction (editorial and commercial) on campaign and franchise deliverables.
Archive health (naming, metadata, re-usability; successful relink/restore).
