Polygon | Video Editor

Valnet Inc.
Raleigh, NC
About Polygon:

Polygon is a leading destination for gaming, entertainment, and internet culture—covering everything from big releases and creators to the weird corners of the web. Through reported features, sharp analysis, and smart, fandom-forward storytelling, Polygon reaches a massive audience across our site and social platforms.

We’re seeking a talented and versatile Video Editor to join the Polygon team and work closely with our Supervising Producer. You will edit a wide range of long-form and short-form video content—including interviews, explainers, original series, and social-first videos—built around games, entertainment, and online culture. This role calls for strong pacing, story instincts, and platform-specific editing chops to deliver engaging, high-quality videos for Polygon’s website and social channels.

This video editor will collaborate closely with editorial, news, and social teams to ensure fast, accurate, and visually compelling content reaches our audience in a timely manner.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Edit long-form videos (e.g., interviews, features, and editorial videos) and short-form content (e.g., social clips, vertical videos, highlights) optimized for platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and X.
  • Efficiently edit, export, and upload video content under tight deadlines while maintaining Polygon’s high production and editorial standards.
  • Collaborate with the social media team to tailor edits, formats, and pacing for platform-specific distribution and audience engagement.
  • Communicate clearly and consistently with the Supervising Producer and cross-functional teams to align on priorities, creative direction, and deadlines.
  • Ensure consistent branding, tone, and messaging across all Polygon video content, regardless of format or platform.

Skills We’re Looking For:

  • Proven experience editing video for digital platforms (news, entertainment, gaming, or culture content a plus).
  • Strong storytelling instincts: pacing, structure, comedic timing, clarity, and audience hooks.
  • Proficiency with professional editing tools (e.g., Adobe Premiere Pro, etc).
  • Experience delivering social-first edits (vertical video, captions, rapid turnarounds, trend-aware pacing).
  • Comfort working with brand templates, motion packages, graphics, and basic audio cleanup/mixing.
  • Ability to work independently, manage multiple projects, and meet deadlines in a remote environment.
  • Interest in Polygon’s coverage areas: games, entertainment, creators, and internet culture.

Feel Free to Include:

  • A portfolio/reel (especially examples of long-form storytelling + short-form social edits)
  • Links to channels you’ve edited for, or specific pieces you’re proud of
  • Client or collaborator testimonials
If we think you’d be a strong addition to the team, we’ll reach out soon.
