Video Editor & Content Creator

Who We Are

Credo is a mission driven storytelling and marketing agency working at the intersection of national security, aerospace, and cinematic craft.

We help elevate some of the most important innovations selling to the DoW, including counter-drone systems, autonomous ships, nuclear energy, and next generation manufacturing, while also supporting integrated campaigns alongside organizations like the Air Force, Army, and Marine Corps.

We are building the creative engine behind America’s Industrial Future. Premium work, real stakes, real impact, and a team that moves fast.

The Opportunity

We are looking for a talented video editor, someone who can take footage and shape it into sharp, high-end storytelling across formats.

We are also open to a more well rounded editor and creator hybrid, someone who can develop content beyond the timeline, including cutdowns, statics, AI-enabled visuals, and story driven ideas that help our clients win attention and trust.

Content ranges from high-end short form to longer docu-style edits.

Short form work includes brand and product Hero Videos, social cutdowns, announcements, recruiting content, product moments, and platform native edits.

Los Angeles based is preferred.

What You’ll Do

Editing is the core of the role. Expect to:

• Edit high-impact content across defense, aerospace, and frontier technology clients
• Cut brand and product Hero Videos that position the technology as the hero and drive clear audience takeaways
• Build short form systems including hero edits, cutdowns, series formats, reels, and platform native versions for LinkedIn, YouTube, and more
• Cut longer narratives including 3 to 5 minute docu-style edits, mini profiles, mission stories, and brand pieces
• Create and maintain templates and repeatable visual systems including lower thirds, title cards, thumbnail language, and static design patterns
• Collaborate on story including selects, structure, pacing, sound design, and message clarity
• Use AI tools to accelerate and expand creative output when appropriate, including Midjourney, Runway, Veo 3, Flora, and other emerging toolchains
• Keep projects organized including file structure, versioning, exports, review workflows, and delivery polish

You’re a Fit If You

• You are an editor with taste, pacing, restraint, punch, story instinct, and clean finishing
• You can make complex technology feel clear and compelling without turning it into jargon soup
• You are fast, detail oriented, and you ship without sacrificing quality
• You are fluent in modern post workflows including audio, color, captions, mixed media, and multi format deliverables
• You are excited to use AI as a creative multiplier, not a gimmick
• You take ownership and solve problems before they become issues

Plus, optional: You can shoot in Los Angeles, including interviews, b-roll, events, and run and gun content, and you are comfortable working on lean crews.

Tools and Stack (typical)

• Premiere, Resolve, After Effects, Final Cut Pro (EXPERT in one, experience across all)
• Frame.io or similar review workflow
• Google Drive and Docs with organized post handoff systems
• AI tools including Midjourney, Runway, Veo 3, Flora, plus emerging tools

Why Join Credo

• Work on real missions with real consequences, not random consumer ads
• Creative autonomy and high standards, cinematic craft meets strategic storytelling
• A small team where your taste and output directly shape the agency
• Variety across Hero Videos, docu edits, product storytelling, social series, and campaign moments
