What’s the Job?
The Jackbox Games Marketing Team is bursting with opportunities and challenges as more people than ever are discovering our games! We are releasing more new games every year and we have big ambitions to turn more of our IP into games recognized and enjoyed by households across the United States and beyond.
We are looking for an experienced Contract Video Editor with 5+ years of professional experience editing high-end marketing materials who can work hand-in-hand with our marketing team to cut trailers, cutdowns, and promotional spots that inspire more people to play our games. This person will concept, edit, and iterate marketing videos from first assembly through final deliverables; execute cutdowns of existing assets into shorter variants; and work with large stringouts of raw live-action footage to pull high-quality selects - all in both horizontal and vertical formats.
Our games are built on comedy, and that same playful spirit carries through into our marketing videos, from a quick cutdown for a PlayStation sale to the trailer we cut to launch a new title around the holidays. We also utilize a lot of live action video of people enjoying our games in advertisements, so it’s easy to quickly understand the environments our games exist within. This person will report to the Senior Creative Producer, but also run creative concepts by the Chief Creative Officer for feedback.
