About Silent Dog Pictures

Silent Dog Pictures is a full-service production company specializing in purpose-driven filmmaking for nonprofits, educational institutions, and mission-driven organizations. We create emotionally resonant, high-impact short films, branded content, and digital pieces that help organizations tell their stories and inspire real-world change.

In addition to our core film and video work, Silent Dog Pictures is expanding into podcasts, livestreaming, and live event content—building cutting-edge capabilities in areas where modern media is evolving most rapidly.

We are a small, fast-moving, highly collaborative company where experimentation is encouraged, autonomy is valued, and your contributions directly shape the work.

The Role

We’re seeking a Production & Editing Coordinator who is passionate about editing, energized by hands-on production, and excited to contribute across multiple creative formats—including video, podcasts, livestreams, and event-driven storytelling.

This hybrid role blends post-production, production coordination, on-set support, and creative/operational responsibilities, offering a uniquely wide-ranging foundation for an early-career creative professional.

A significant portion of your work will involve editing—particularly unscripted short-form content—while supporting a growing slate of new media formats. If you’re looking to sharpen your editing skills, build production experience, and explore the future of storytelling, this role is an exceptional opportunity.

What You’ll Do

Editing & Post-Production (Primary Focus)

  • Ingest, organize, and manage footage, audio, and media assets

  • Edit short-form unscripted content, branded videos, interviews, social media pieces, and event recaps

  • Assist with editing podcast episodes, livestream segments, or event deliverables as needed

  • Assemble rough cuts, selects, and story-driven edits

  • Support light finishing (color, audio clean-up, graphics)

  • Take on full edits and project ownership as your experience grows

Production, Podcasts & On-Set Support

  • Assist with pre-production for shoots, livestreams, and podcast recordings

  • Support on-location productions with camera, lighting, audio, and general crew needs

  • Help prepare and monitor podcast setups, audio workflows, and recording environments

  • Contribute to livestream preparations and technical coordination

  • Maintain a smooth, organized, positive shoot environment

Company & Creative Operations

  • Update and maintain the Silent Dog Pictures website and project portfolio

  • Manage and grow the company’s social media presence

  • Help refine systems, workflows, and internal processes

  • Work closely with the founder across creative and operational initiatives

Who You Are

You are a strong early-career creative storyteller with a foundation in unscripted short-form editing and a desire to grow into a multifaceted role across emerging media formats. You bring curiosity, enthusiasm, and a collaborative spirit.

You are:

  • A capable editor with experience crafting unscripted short-form content, reels, branded pieces, or documentary-style videos

  • Highly proficient in Adobe Premiere Pro, with familiarity in the full Adobe Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects) and/or DaVinci Resolve as a plus

  • Knowledgeable in basic camera, lighting, audio, and on-set workflows

  • Comfortable learning or expanding skills in podcast production, audio editing, or livestream workflows

  • A proactive, organized, detail-oriented self-starter who thrives wearing many hats

  • Comfortable working independently and within a small creative team

  • Enthusiastic about filmmaking, storytelling, and mission-driven content

  • Familiar with social media platforms, trends, and content best practices

  • Energized by joining a small company where your impact is immediate and visible

  • Hungry to learn, grow, and take on more responsibility as the company expands into new formats and technologies

Experience Level

This role is ideal for early-career creatives who have hands-on experience editing short-form, unscripted content—regardless of whether that experience came from school, freelance work, personal projects, internships, or professional environments.

We are not requiring a college degree. What matters most is:

  • Your ability to tell compelling stories in the edit

  • Your comfort working with real-world footage (interviews, verité, branded, doc-style)

  • Your enthusiasm for growing across production, post, podcasts, livestreaming, and events

Whether you’re a recent graduate, self-taught, or coming from a nontraditional background, if you can edit and you’re excited about this role, we encourage you to apply.

Why This Role Is Special
