Creative Editor
Application Form

Location: Minneapolis, MN (On-site)
Type: Full-Time


About Us:

MAKE is a creative studio with a big passion for short stories. Stories that punch above their length and live rent free in your head.

Every frame gets obsessed over. Every second has a job to do.
Because short isn’t easy, it’s surgical.

There’s no fluff. Just tight, expressive work that knows what it’s saying and says it with style.


Job Description:

MAKE is looking for a Creative Editor to join our Minneapolis studio.

This is a hands-on role for an editor who knows how to shape a narrative, find the beat, and cut with confidence, whether it's branded content, animated shorts, or punchy ad promos. You’ll work closely with our creative leads, motion designers, and producers to create edits that are clean and emotionally resonant.

As always, artists at MAKE bring a generalist flair, so experience with motion graphics and audio is strongly desired.

We're looking for someone who knows that editing isn’t just assembly. You're a storyteller at heart who enjoys putting it all together.


Responsibilities:

• Edit a wide range of projects, from commercial campaigns to original content.
• Shape narrative flow and pacing, enhancing story arcs through rhythm, timing, and transitions.
• Work with directors and producers to interpret the creative vision and elevate it in the edit.
• Collaborate with animators and designers to finesse timing, audio, and movement.
• Provide quick turnarounds and clean edits while staying creatively energized.
• Incorporate music, sound design, voiceover, and graphics to craft a polished final cut.
• Organize media, manage project files, and keep timelines on track.
• Stay current with editing trends, tools, and visual storytelling techniques.


Qualifications:

• 5 years minimum of professional editing experience (agency, studio, or post house).
• Mastery of Adobe Premiere Pro and strong working knowledge of After Effects.
• Experience editing animation, motion graphics, or mixed media is a big plus.
• Keen understanding of narrative flow, visual rhythm, and sound design.
• Strong sense of timing, mood, and emotional beats in short-form storytelling.
• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative spirit.
• Strong attention to detail and file organization.
• A flexible editor who can jump between styles: polished and minimal, gritty and stylized, or playful and fun.
• Bonus if you have experience with color correction, sound mix, or basic compositing.


Additional Info:

• Legal to work in the US.
• The position is full time, in studio, in Minneapolis, MN.
