At team5pm, part of SAMY, we’re shaping the future of brand communication by bringing together intelligence, creativity, and technology to make brands matter in a social-first world.

We believe social is more than a collection of platforms, it’s a living, ever-evolving ecosystem where culture moves fast, stories unfold, and brands have the opportunity to make a real impact. By combining data-driven insights with culturally relevant creativity and innovative technology, we help brands show up with purpose, connect with audiences, and create content that cuts through the noise!

As our Intermediate / Senior Video Editor, you’ll be a key creative voice on the team. You won’t just cut footage and create timelines. You’ll help shape the story. You’ll work closely with our creatives to sharpen scripts and concepts, edit long-form content (and short-form too), and bring in fresh ideas from the latest (social) trends. You’ll also help the team get more out of generative AI and automation.
