About this role

We’re looking for a full-time Episode Editor to take full ownership of post-production for #ABtalks episodes, from raw footage to a final-ready master. You’ll shape pacing, emotion, and storytelling while maintaining the show’s signature tone and visual consistency.
Key Responsibilities
- Edit full-length episodes end-to-end (multi-cam interview format). - Build the story: structure, pacing, tension/release, and emotional beats. - Sync and organize multi-camera footage + audio; manage selects and timelines. - Color correction and basic grading to match the show’s look (or prep for final grade). - Audio cleanup/mixing basics (dialog clarity, levels, noise reduction) or coordinate with sound if applicable. - Integrate graphics, subtitles/captions, cutaways/B-roll, and archival where needed. - Smart cropping if needed that would not be noticeable. - Create deliverables: final masters, social cutdowns (if required), and platform-specific exports. - Maintain clean project organization (bins, naming conventions, backups, versioning). - Collaborate closely with the release and production coordinator, producer, consultant as well for notes and revisions under deadlines. - Ensure consistency across episodes (style, rhythm, branding, technical specs).
Requirements - Strong narrative editing skills (interview/story-driven content). - Proven experience delivering full episodes (podcast/interview/docu-style). - Advanced proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro (or Avid/DaVinci Resolve—specify your pipeline). - Confident workflow with multi-cam, proxies, and shared storage. - Strong understanding of dialogue-driven pacing and emotional storytelling. - High attention to detail, deadlines, and feedback cycles. - Fluent in Arabic and English (depending on your episodes; add requirements as needed).
Nice to Have - Experience with long-form talk shows or documentary edits. - After Effects basics (titles, lower thirds, simple animations). - Experience with Arabic subtitle standards and readability. - DaVinci Resolve color workflow familiarity.
What Success Looks Like - Episodes that feel emotionally true, tightly paced, and consistent with the #ABtalks identity. - Fast, organized turnovers and smooth revision cycles. - Reliable delivery of final exports meeting technical specs.
To Apply Please share: - Portfolio links (2–3 relevant long-form edits) - Your role in each project - Software used + availability - Optional: a short note on your editing approach for interview storytelling
