Job description
Ginni Media is hiring two Paid Video Editor Interns to join our team in New York City. This is a hands-on, creative role built for someone who has just finished their degree or diploma in video editing, film, media production, or a related field — and is ready to bring their own eye and energy to real, live projects from day one.

You'll work across podcasts, brand partnerships, and original content seen and heard by audiences across the U.S. and beyond. This isn't a coffee-run internship. You'll step into projects with genuine ownership and a strong creative point of view, knowing that great video is equal parts storytelling, technical precision, and trust.

This role is ideal for a recent graduate who is looking for their first professional editing role and wants to grow inside a fast-moving, booming creative environment — not just observe it. One of the two positions will be offered as a permanent, full-time role at the end of the internship.

Who This Is For:

This role is specifically designed for candidates who:

→ Have recently completed (or are in the final stages of completing) a degree, diploma, or equivalent qualification in video editing, media production, film, or a related creative field

→ Are looking for their first professional role and want real, portfolio-building experience

→ Have a genuine creative perspective and a distinct editing style they're excited to develop

→ Are based in New York City or able to commute to Midtown Manhattan

Please note: This is an entry-level internship. We are not looking for candidates with several years of professional experience, nor candidates without any foundational editing training or education. If you are a seasoned editor, this role is not the right fit — and we encourage you to look out for senior openings in future.

What You'll Work On

Projects vary and move fast. You can expect to work across:
• Full podcast video episodes
• Short-form reels and trailers for social media
• Static promotional graphics
• Brand partnership content

What We're Looking For
• A foundational working knowledge of Adobe Creative Cloud, particularly Premiere Pro and After Effects
• An understanding of editing for social media — pacing, formats, hooks, and platform-specific nuance
• A sound instinct for B-Roll: knowing when to use it, where to place it, and how to let it serve the story
• Basic Photoshop skills
• Familiarity with collaboration tools such as Slack or Asana
• An awareness of AI tools used in video editing workflows
• Clear, professional written and verbal communication in English
• A self-starter attitude — you take initiative, ask good questions, and don't wait to be told what to do twice

A Note on Applications
We review every application personally. We are looking for candidates who have taken the time to apply in their own words and voice. Generic, templated, or AI-generated applications will not be considered. Tell us who you are, what you've made, and why Ginni Media is the right place for you right now.
Our Interview Process

We keep things straightforward and respectful of your time:
• 10-Minute Introductory Call — with our Hiring Office, to get to know you and answer any initial questions
• 30-Minute Interview— with our CEO, if shortlisted from the first call
• Paid Trial Project— a real, compensated editing task so we can see how you work, and so you can see how we work

• Duration: 3 months (one position will convert to a full-time offer)
• Location: Hybrid — remote with one required in-office day per month at our Midtown, New York office
• Openings: 2 positions
