Video Editor

About The Role: Roots is looking for a part-time Video Editor to work alongside our Video Producer / Editor (Lead), turning what we capture into finished pieces that ship. You'll cut short-form and reels, take on overflow edits when volume spikes, and serve as real backup so the pipeline never depends on a single person. This role exists because of ta'awun: no one carries their work alone. Our video volume is not steady, it surges around programs, the podcast, and events. Without a second pair of hands, everything queues behind one person and good footage dies on a drive. You are the reason that doesn't happen. You are not the one setting the standard here; the video lead is. That is meant to be freeing. It lets you focus on the craft of the edit itself, working to a bar someone else holds, with real room to grow into more over time. What we ask is that the work you touch makes it all the way out (itqaan): shot, cut, exported, and live. This is a part-time, flexible role. You and the video lead set your editing hours together, and the weeks around programs and podcast recordings are the busy ones. What You'll OwnThe edits. Short-form content - reels, clips, and social video - cut from program and podcast footage, to the standard the video lead sets. Overflow capacity. The extra pair of hands when volume spikes around programs and events. Backup and continuity. Real backup for the video lead, so the pipeline holds when they're stretched or away. Organized handoffs. Clean project files, sensible naming, and reliable exports anyone on the team can pick up. Sound Like You?
