Key responsibilities & impact

Own the Post Production Pipeline
Lead the Editing Team & Freelance Flexforce
Define What Great B2B Video Looks Like
Post Production Coordination - Own the Master Production Workflow — tracking every active project through intake, edit, review, revision, and delivery across a high-volume client roster
Build and enforce file structure, naming conventions, and archiving standards across all productions
Serve as the post-production point of contact for producers — translating project needs into clear editorial direction
Assign, direct, and give meaningful creative feedback to internal editors and a curated bench of freelance editors across simultaneous productions
Set and uphold editorial standards — polished timelines, clean sequencing, proper pacing, and airtight asset delivery
Review and quality-check edits before they reach clients — your sign-off means it's ready
Identify gaps in the freelance bench and help source, evaluate, and onboard new freelance talent when needed
Contribute to editor development — share technique, give directed notes, and help build a team that raises its own ceiling
Edit across Sweet Fish's full video type roster: brand films, commercial spots, thought leadership videos, testimonials, case studies, social shorts, podcast video, product demos, event recaps, and even AI social content
Drive storytelling decisions — structure narratives that are emotionally resonant, not just informationally competent
Lead motion graphics involvement: create or art-direct graphic assets, lower thirds, kinetic type, and branded visual elements that feel intentional, not templated
Push client work creatively — bring visual references, push edits past the first cut, and advocate for the version that's actually good
Help develop and document Sweet Fish's editorial style standards as we expand into new video formats and categories.
