Senior Video Editor & Post-Production Creative
UNICORN ISLAND PRODUCTIONS
Los Angeles | Full-Time | Company-Sponsored Benefits
Unicorn Island Productions is seeking an experienced, versatile video editor to bring everything from elaborate scripted comedy sketches to fast, funny TikToks and Reels to life. We need a creative, editor-first collaborator who can take footage from raw files to polished final delivery - and who brings strong comedic instincts, fresh ideas, and a can-do attitude to every project.
You will work directly with lead talent across YouTube, social, trailers, sizzles, branded entertainment, and film and television-related content. This is a hands-on, fast-paced role for someone who takes equal pride in a 15-second social edit and a 15-minute sketch. Not an entry-level position; reports directly to talent.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Edit a wide range of short- and long-form content: scripted comedy, YouTube videos, trailers, sizzles, branded content, TikToks, Reels, Shorts, and social cutdowns.
- Own end-to-end post-production, including picture editing, color correction/grading, sound design and mixing, captions, motion graphics, basic VFX, and platform-optimized exports.
- Shape stories with excellent comedic timing and pacing; pitch creative solutions, explore alternate cuts, and confidently incorporate feedback.
- Manage footage ingest, on-set media transfers, backups, organized project files, archives, and smooth handoffs to collaborators.
- Balance quick turnarounds with more involved edits, collaborate closely with the production team, and stay curious about new tools, techniques, and workflows.
QUALIFICATIONS
- 5+ years of professional editing experience and a portfolio demonstrating both short-form social work and longer-form storytelling.
- Advanced proficiency in Premiere Pro or comparable professional software; strong capabilities in color, audio, graphics, and basic VFX (After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Audition, or similar).
- Excellent comedic instincts, creative judgment, technical organization, and a strong understanding of YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok.
- Self-starter who thrives under deadlines, takes initiative, stays flexible, welcomes feedback, and is excited to learn new skills.
- Professionalism and discretion around high-profile talent; Los Angeles-based and available for in-person/on-set work, with occasional travel.
BONUS SKILLS
Camera operation, photography, Photoshop, graphic/presentation design, advanced VFX, and AI-assisted post-production workflows.
TO APPLY
Send your resume, brief cover letter, and portfolio to info@unicornisland.com. Please include examples of both short- and long-form edits and specify which post-production tasks you personally handled.
Pay: $70,000.00 - $80,000.00 per year

Tips for Your Creative Production Manager Job Search
Tailor your resume to production scope
Creative production manager roles prioritize budget ownership, timeline management, and cross-functional coordination. Quantify the scale of projects you've managed, the number of concurrent campaigns, and the size of vendor or freelancer networks you've overseen, not just the deliverables.
Build a portfolio that shows process
Hiring managers want to see how you run a production, not just the finished asset. Include a one-page case study for at least one campaign showing your intake process, stakeholder alignment approach, and how you resolved a production blocker.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists creative production manager openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Filter by production type, not just title
Job titles vary widely: some postings say creative operations manager, content production lead, or studio production manager. Search by deliverable type, such as video, integrated campaigns, or digital content, to surface openings your title search would miss.
Prepare a production methodology walkthrough
Many interviews include a whiteboard or verbal exercise where you map out how you'd take a creative brief from kickoff to delivery. Rehearse a clear, repeatable framework you can explain in under five minutes without referencing a specific tool.
Negotiate scope alongside compensation
Creative production manager offers often underspecify team size, budget authority, and tool stack. Before accepting, clarify how many direct reports you'll have, what production software is in use, and whether you'll own vendor contracts or just coordinate them.
Creative Production Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most creative production managers?
The most active employers for creative production managers right now are Ansera, Fashionphile, and Pali Mountain, and the most openings are in California, New York, and Florida, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand tends to concentrate at large consumer brands, advertising agencies, and media and entertainment companies with high-volume content operations.
How many creative production manager jobs are remote?
About 48% of creative production manager openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting broader flexibility across marketing and creative operations roles. Content production and digital campaign management sub-specializations tend to offer the most remote flexibility, while roles tied to studio, event, or on-set production typically require on-site presence.
How do you become a creative production manager?
Most creative production managers move up from coordinator or project manager roles in an agency, in-house creative team, or production company. Build hands-on experience managing timelines, budgets, and vendor relationships on real campaigns. Develop fluency in at least one project management platform and one creative workflow system. A background in a creative discipline, such as design, video, or copywriting, strengthens your ability to manage and advocate for the work.
Can you get hired as a creative production manager with little experience?
Some employers post associate or junior creative production manager titles that prioritize coordination skills over deep production history. If you're transitioning in, emphasize any experience managing timelines, budgets, or cross-team projects, even outside a formal production context. A well-documented process portfolio or case study showing how you've organized complex work can substitute for years of direct title experience.
What does the creative production manager interview process look like?
The process typically starts with a recruiter screen focused on production scale and tool experience, followed by a hiring manager interview that goes deeper on workflow methodology and stakeholder management. Many teams add a practical exercise where you outline how you'd manage a sample brief or diagnose a production bottleneck. Final rounds often include a panel with creative directors or marketing leads who assess your ability to protect timelines without slowing creative work.
