Video Intern
Descript is looking for an intern to edit video for our website, Help Center, YouTube channel, social platforms, and anywhere else our videos might want to hang out.
This is a role for someone who’s hungry to hone their editing chops by editing a lot of video, every day. The person who’s right for this wants to hone their editing skills and creative instincts the only way you really can — by doing a ton of editing.
If you have lots of creative ideas for content, that’s a huge bonus. We’re a collaborative team who understand that good ideas can come from anyone, anywhere.
You don’t have to know Descript super-well to start, but you will have to learn and master the app, quickly.
Requirements
- Min. 2 years training (including in school) as a video editor
- Ability to make quick decisions while editing
- Creative drive and desire to collaborate on content that’s distinctive, smart, and never boring
- Eagerness to learn and grow creatively, both by taking feedback and by pushing yourself to get better
Nice-to-haves
- Videography skills and knowledge
- Experience working in Descript
Responsibilities
- Edit video — for Descript’s Help Center, YouTube channel, website, social channels, and so on
- Learn editing and production in Descript
