Video Editor

We’re Looking for a Video Editor at ADsmith

ADsmith is looking for a skilled, self-motivated video professional to join our team of strategists, creatives, and media specialists. This role is built for someone who takes ownership of their craft — creating compelling content that communicates effectively and delivers real results for ADsmith and our clients.

You’re a versatile video professional. You understand the full production picture — editing, motion graphics, color, audio — and you know how to bring a story to life across formats, from short-form social to broadcast-quality spots. You don’t just execute; you elevate.

Working closely with our Studio Director, you’ll be the creative engine behind ADsmith’s video output — keeping work moving, quality high, and clients impressed. You’ll contribute ideas, manage your projects from brief to delivery, and help push our storytelling forward.

If you’re someone who gets energized by the challenge of telling a story well, thrives in a collaborative environment, and wants to do work that actually matters — this is the role.

Portfolio required (must include examples of finished video you have edited, video you have shot, and motion graphic work if available).

We’re a team of about 20 people based in Springfield, Missouri. We work hard, we take our craft seriously, and we genuinely like each other.
