We are seeking an experienced Creative Editing Lead to take ownership of short form video editing execution at GenHQ as we continue to scale.

This is a senior role combining high-level creative judgment, mixing Adobe After Effects and AI production. You will lead our editing team, maintain and elevate our creative standards, and oversee the execution of educational AI video projects from concept handoff through to final delivery, examples below:

The role is designed to remove the founder from day‑to‑day editing oversight while preserving the quality and distinctiveness of the brand. You will be responsible for ensuring consistency, efficiency, and excellence across all output. The founder is happy to teach AI creative skills, but this candidate should have some pre‑existing experience and interest.

Initially, the position will involve a significant amount of hands‑on editing. Over time, as the team expands, the balance will shift toward leadership, coordination, and creative oversight while remaining actively involved in production when required.

We are looking for someone who brings both advanced technical Adobe After Effects skill and proven leadership capability.
