Job Description

If you live and breathe storytelling — the kind that moves people, elevates culture, and brings ideas to life — you’ll feel right at home here. Nexus is a boutique strategic and creative consultancy that helps organizations bring their culture and purpose to life. Our work connects People with Purpose by integrating discovery and insight, strategy, and storytelling to shape experiences that inspire and strengthen culture. We partner with leading organizations to uncover what makes them unique and translate it into narratives, programs, and experiences that align people, brand, and performance. With dedicated teams spanning content, creative, digital, video, and podcast production — backed by strong project managers — we turn insight into action and strategy into change.

We’re looking for experienced Post Production – Senior Video Editors who know how to turn raw footage into meaningful, emotionally resonant stories. Editors who bring sensitivity, rhythm, and intention to their craft — and who can elevate ideas through thoughtful pacing, sound design, visual nuance, and narrative flow. In these contract/project-based roles, you’ll collaborate with our creative, strategy, and production teams to help transform culture and reimagine the employee experience through powerful video and audio storytelling. If you take creative initiative, thrive in fast-paced environments, and love turning fragments into fully realized stories — you’ll excel here.
