About the Role
At STAGE, we're looking for a creatively driven and AI-savvy Video Editor who can craft cinematic trailers that build excitement and performance-focused promos that convert. This role sits at the intersection of storytelling, marketing, and innovation- ideal for someone who doesn't just edit but rethinks content creation using the power of AI tools.

We're seeking a candidate who brings creative flair, a data-led mindset, and a curiosity for integrating emerging tech like AI-driven motion design, voice tools, and automation into their craft.
