This isn't just a cutting job.

You'll be joining at an exciting time at the start of our Podcast journey and shaping the show's visual identity from the ground up. As the podcast grows, so does your role — there's a clear path to becoming a core part of the team, with pay and scope evolving alongside the show's success. - How to Apply - We're not hiring a robot, we are looking for someone we can work with long term. Alongside 1-2 examples of relevant work you'd be proud to share, let us know in a few sentences: 1. which creators / styles inspire you 2. what tools you use (and how long you've used them) 3. an editing technique you've perfected recently We look forward to hearing from you!
