    Description

    Video Editor Remote · Project-based · 3–5 hours/project

    Healthful Stories is a Seattle-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that conducts in-depth interviews with people living with chronic and complex health conditions. We exist to document the real patient journey: the delays, the barriers, and the turning points in a way that will have the greatest impact on those living with similar illnesses. Our interviews are structured and informational, not just inspirational..

    As a Video Editor, you will transform raw interview footage into polished, purposeful content that centers the patient voice without sensationalizing it. You'll work on short-form clips for social media, longer documentary-style segments, and edited excerpts for advocacy and research audiences.

    You bring:

    • Proficiency in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, or equivalent
    • An eye for documentary-style editing — patient and precise, not flashy
    • Ability to work from a brief and meet agreed-upon deadlines
    • Experience with caption and subtitle workflows is a plus

    What you'll gain: A growing portfolio of health-focused documentary content, experience working with sensitive subject matter professionally, and a production credit on published work. Strong fit for students and early-career professionals in film, communications, or digital media who want their work to mean something.
