As Video Editor at The Coda Collection, you will play a central role in creating the assets that inspire a powerful emotional connection between The Coda Collection and our audience globally.
The Opportunity
The Coda Collection aspires to bring to life the stories that surround the songs that we love, and in turn deepen the connection between artists and fans. Across our Prime Video Channel, website, and iOS app, we have created a unique experience that combines a curated collection of more than 180 films that bring to life the most meaningful moments in music and surrounds these films with immersive, custom editorial from the most talented music writers in the world.
Together, this experience aspires to do nothing less than transform the way in which people experience the power of music. In just a matter of months, we are off to a fast start: rapid subscriber growth, hit films such as What Drives Us (directed by Dave Grohl), and over 500 pieces of press coverage.
We are now seeking to build upon this momentum, and to help propel this growth we are looking for a Video Editor.
The Role
We are looking for a video editor with a unique passion for music and an instinct for propulsive, engaging edits. The full-time position will be focused on editing music films into trailers, turning musical moments on film into dynamic social media, and generating elevated and engaging branding in the videos we create across all channels. You will have the benefit of working on content for bands you know and love...or bands you will grow to love.
