Roots / Community
Roots is looking for a part-time Video Editor to work alongside our Video Producer / Editor (Lead), turning what we capture into finished pieces that ship. You'll cut short-form and reels, take on overflow edits when volume spikes, and serve as real backup so the pipeline never depends on a single person.
This role exists because of ta'awun: no one carries their work alone. Our video volume is not steady, it surges around programs, the podcast, and events. Without a second pair of hands, everything queues behind one person and good footage dies on a drive. You are the reason that doesn't happen.
You are not the one setting the standard here; the video lead is. That is meant to be freeing. It lets you focus on the craft of the edit itself, working to a bar someone else holds, with real room to grow into more over time. What we ask is that the work you touch makes it all the way out (itqaan): shot, cut, exported, and live.
This is a part-time, flexible role. You and the video lead set your editing hours together, and the weeks around programs and podcast recordings are the busy ones.
The full job description covers everything — what you'll own, our values, working rhythm, compensation, and more.
To apply, email your resume, reel, and a brief note about why this role fits you to hiring@rootsdfw.org. Applications reviewed on a rolling basis. Roots Community is an equal opportunity employer.
