What's the opportunity?

The Intercom Creative Studio is looking for an experienced

Senior Video Editor

to help build the core video capability for Intercom. This role will be a foundational member of a small, high-impact video team within ICS, responsible for shaping how our stories, products, and campaigns come to life through video—from editorial craft and narrative structure to light production and on-set collaboration when needed. While this role is primarily focused on editing, the ideal candidate is comfortable stepping into light shooting, interviewing, or on-set support when required, and brings a strong network of collaborators to help scale production as needs evolve.

Reporting to the Director of Intercom Creative Studio, you’ll partner closely with Designers, Producers, Writers, Product Marketers, and cross-functional stakeholders  to create

high-production brand films, customer story mini-docs, product and campaign videos, event content, and high-volume performance marketing assets

.

This is a

hands-on, craft-driven role

for someone who loves both storytelling and execution—someone who can cut a polished flagship piece just as confidently as they can turn around a high-performing performance edit at scale. While this role does not manage people today, it’s ideal for someone interested in growing into a

future video leadership role

, helping define standards, workflows, and creative direction across the company.

This Role Sits Within The

San Francisco–based Intercom Creative Studio

, which works across digital, print, environmental, physical goods, and everything in between. We’re building the foundation of Intercom’s video practice—and this role will help define what great looks like.
