We have a rare opening for a gun full-time junior video editor to join our growing team in Surry Hills. Reporting directly to our newly appointed Head of Video, you’ll be working across our titles like Junkee, AWOL, inthemix and FasterLouder to film, edit and create engaging video content for our audience of primarily 18 to 35 year olds.

The role will see you working on Sound Alliance’s award-winning titles, plus video creation for some of the great brands that we work with.
