We’ve developed an audience of 1.5M+ across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and our own platform. Our content is central to how we educate brands, build trust with factories, and make the manufacturing world more transparent.
We’re looking for a Lead Editor. This person will be responsible for leading the visual identity and output of the company across long-form video, short-form video, motion graphics, promotional assets, and select design projects.
