Video Editor Job at The Altitude in Bountiful

Location : Bountiful, UT (Hybrid / Flexible)

Rate : $15-$100 / hr (Linkedin requires us to list a rate, but we are asking candidates to share their rates based on their experience.)

About The Altitude :

The Altitude is a documentary-style production company that elevates stories. We partner with value-driven brands to create compelling visual narratives that resonate. Our work is built on authenticity and a deep respect for the craft of filmmaking. We're a small, dedicated team, and we're looking for an editor who shares our passion for story.

The Role :

We're not looking for a button-pusher. We're looking for a storyteller who lives in the timeline. You'll be the creative force who transforms raw footage into emotionally resonant films, from short-form social content to documentary features. You have a strong sense of pacing, a great ear for sound, and an impeccable eye for color. You understand that the edit is where the story is truly found.

What You'll Do :

Assemble and edit raw footage into compelling narratives that align with our documentary-style aesthetic.

Craft everything from rough cuts to fine cuts, shaping the story and ensuring a seamless flow.

Perform color grading and sound design that enhance the mood and emotional impact of each piece.

Collaborate closely with our small team, incorporating feedback and contributing your own creative ideas.

Manage project files and media with meticulous organization. We value clean timelines and logical folder structures.

Create dynamic cutdowns and social media versions of our primary films.

What You Bring :

A Storyteller's Instinct : Your portfolio demonstrates an ability to build emotion, create rhythm, and find the narrative thread in unscripted footage.

Technical Fluency : You're deeply proficient in DaVinci Resolve. This is essential. Experience with After Effects is a significant plus.

A Discerning Eye : You have a strong aesthetic and a point of view on color, composition, and pacing.

An Unwavering Attention to Detail : You’re organized, self-sufficient, and treat every project with care, from media management to final export.

A Collaborative Spirit : You’re good with feedback, communicate clearly, and enjoy being part of a creative process. You understand that the best ideas win, regardless of where they come from.

Bonus Points if You Have :

Experience with motion graphics or light animation.

A background in or passion for the outdoor, adventure, or social impact sectors.

The Details :

This is a part-time, contract position for 20-30 hours per week. While this is a part-time position, we are a growing company and there is potential for this role to evolve into a full-time opportunity for the right candidate. While we have a studio in the Salt Lake area and prefer some in-person collaboration, we are open to a flexible or hybrid arrangement for the right person. Compensation will be competitive and based on experience.

Send an email to hello@thealtitude.us with the subject line "Video Editor & Storyteller." Include the following :

A link to your reel or portfolio. This is the most important part.
