SENIOR EDITOR

About R/GA's Studio

R/GA's Studio is a craft-led department working at the forefront of generative AI and moving images. We're a team of editors, motion designers, and AI artists who combine creative instinct with cutting-edge technology to create work that moves culture forward.

Storytelling comes first. Our approach is rooted in craft, taste, and narrative—we use technology to unlock new creative possibilities and produce at quality and scale that traditional pipelines can't sustain. We're on the hunt for people who consider themselves "AI Native," who stay on top of emerging platforms and models, and who see generative tools as creative partners rather than replacements for human artistry.

We work with the world's most ambitious brands, redefining what production looks like at the intersection of human creativity and emerging technology.

About the Role

We're not just looking for an editor, but an AI Filmmaker who thinks in terms of editorial vision and motion design—someone who jumps confidently into After Effects to extend the edit when needed, rather than relying on motion designers for everything. You'll lead editorial across complex projects while mentoring junior editors and setting the tone for how we approach storytelling in an age of generative tools.

What You'll Do

Lead editorial across client deliverables, campaigns, and social content—setting tone, pacing, and visual language
Use Premiere Pro and After Effects fluently: handle motion graphics, compositing, color, and VFX yourself when it serves the work
Know when to self-service and when to collaborate with animators for complex sequences
Stay on top of emerging AI platforms and tools; help shape how we integrate generative workflows into editorial in a craft-first, narrative-driven way
Mentor junior editors, review work, and maintain quality standards across the team
Communicate clearly with producers about schedules and turnaround expectations
Work cross-functionally with motion designers, colorists, sound designers, and AI artists

What We're Looking For

5+ years of professional editing experience in commercial, advertising, or high-end content production
Expert-level Premiere Pro skills and high proficiency in After Effects (motion graphics, compositing, color grading, VFX)
Proven editorial leadership with a portfolio showcasing strong pacing, rhythm, and visual/audio integration
Self-starter mentality: manage multiple projects, prioritize efficiently, deliver without being chased
Genuine interest in AI tools and fluency with emerging platforms (Runway, Kling, Veo, Magnific, etc.)
Strong communication skills
Fast output mindset without sacrificing craft
Fluent in English (comprehension and speaking)

Who Thrives Here

Filmmakers who move fast but refuse to use speed as an excuse for sloppiness
Tool-agnostic thinkers who master the tools but stay curious about what's next
Honest collaborators and natural mentors
People who see AI as a creative partner, not a replacement

What We Offer

Lead high-visibility projects for ambitious global brands
Creative autonomy in editorial decision-making
Mentorship of junior editors and opportunities to shape studio workflows
Access to cutting-edge AI and generative tools as they emerge
Opportunity to position yourself as a thought leader in AI-native storytelling
