🏢 About Integral Ed Services

Integral Ed Services is a unique organization where the team has real K-12 teaching experience, creating videos that directly support educators, students, and educational organizations. Working here means your editing skills contribute to meaningful educational content that makes a difference in classrooms.

About This Role

As a Video Editor, you'll transform interview and keynote footage into compelling promo reels and highlight videos, and craft PSA-style spots and explainer videos with motion graphics. Your work will help educational organizations communicate their messages effectively, and you'll have the opportunity to shape stories that inspire and inform educators.

💡 A Day in the Life

You'll start by checking in with your team on Slack, then dive into editing footage from a recent keynote, pulling key moments into a rough cut. You might spend the afternoon adding motion graphics in After Effects for an explainer video, then review feedback and refine your edits before delivering final files with captions and proper color grading.
