As our temporary Associate Video Editor for El Dodo, you will thoughtfully translate and repackage existing videos from English to Spanish using Adobe Premiere. The majority of the videos will be midform length, but there will also be an opportunity to experiment with creating short-form content.The ideal candidate will be an experienced translator who has an obsession with digital media and is nimble and eager to stay two steps ahead of rapidly evolving best practices. To thrive in this role, you must demonstrate excellent storytelling skills and have a knack for scripting and producing compelling content for digital platforms, including Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and TikTok.

MAIN TASKS:

• Thoughtfully repackage The Dodo videos for El Dodo by way of (1) localized translation from English to Spanish text and (2) rebranding using Adobe Premiere and After Effects
• Independently translate English text to Spanish, with an emphasis on achieving a conversational, native and universal voice rather than direct translation
• Meet video output deadlines on a weekly basis
• Responsible for filing videos in our video database software
• Use feedback to iterate on content selection, sourcing and editing techniques, working closely with other editors and the El Dodo team
• Support production of short-form versions of mid-form content as our strategy evolves

SUCCESS WILL LOOK LIKE:

• Consistently exceeding team benchmarks (1-minute views for mid-form content and 3-second views for short-form content)
• Embracing new challenges and experimenting with new formats while remaining true to the brand and best practices
• Understanding business needs and individual role in meeting company goals
• Proactively taking on new projects and initiatives that contribute to the success of the team

WHO YOU ARE

The Dodo is seeking a creative, efficient and organized visual storyteller to join our team as a Video Editor. We’ve seen rapid audience growth on El Dodo since launching in 2017, and we’re looking for someone who is excited to build on this momentum and motivated to grow with us.

MUST HAVES:

• At least 2 years of editorial experience in video editing and storytelling
• Fluent Spanish, able to communicate and narrate (writing/speaking) in a universal, native and conversational tone
• An expert in copywriting, writing scripts (in Spanish), and translating (English to Spanish and vice versa)
• Possesses a deep understanding of social media platforms, including TikTok, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube, and what video formats work on each
• A proactive, can-do attitude and desire to collaborate with others across the team
