Turn raw footage from BMLSIA events, lessons, and stories into sharp, captioned videos people actually watch.

BMLSIA trains biomedical scientists to build tech driven health solutions. Our events, workshops, and fellows’ wins happen on camera. The footage is only half the story. The edit is the other half.

As Video Editor, you turn raw clips into short, clean, scroll stopping videos for our social channels, website, and community. You work closely with the Communications Lead and Content Writer, and with other team members when needed, so every video matches the message and the voice of BMLSIA.

You will cut event recaps, short form reels, announcements, educational clips, and member stories. Fast turnaround, clean sound, and readable captions matter more to us than flashy effects.

This role is for an editor who is organized, quick, and has a good eye for pacing. If you can make a two hour event feel like a sixty second story, you belong here.

Responsibilities

  • Event recaps: edit highlight videos from BMLSIA events and outreaches

  • Short form content: produce reels, shorts, and vertical videos for social media

  • Announcements: cut promo and announcement videos for programs, launches, and opportunities

  • Educational clips: edit lessons, explainers, and talks into clear, watchable pieces

  • Member stories: build video features from interviews with fellows and ambassadors

  • Captions: add accurate, well timed captions to every video

  • Sound: clean audio, balance levels, and use music and sound effects with purpose

  • Branding: apply BMLSIA colors, logos, and lower thirds consistently

  • Formats: export the right sizes and formats for each platform

  • Organization: keep project files, footage, and exports tidy and easy to find

  • Collaboration: take feedback from the team and turn revisions around quickly

Requirements

  • Editing software: confident with at least one of CapCut, Edits, DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, or similar

  • Fundamentals: cutting, trimming, transitions, pacing, and layering clips and audio

  • Captions: can add, style, and time captions and subtitles accurately

  • Sound design: uses sound effects, music, and voiceovers without drowning the speaker

  • Audio cleanup: can reduce noise and balance levels

  • Color basics: can fix exposure and white balance so footage looks consistent

  • Formats: understands aspect ratios (9:16, 1:1, 16:9) and platform export settings

  • Storytelling: knows how to build a hook, a flow, and a clean ending

  • Reliability: delivers on time, with a stable setup and internet

  • Bonus: motion design, animated text, and simple graphics

  • Bonus: experience with After Effects, Canva video, or similar

  • Bonus: basic videography or photography skills

  • Bonus: interest in health, science, or tech education

What you get

  • Work directly with the Communications Lead and Content Writer

  • Your work seen by a growing community of biomedical scientists and innovators

  • Remote friendly, flexible hours

  • Access to events, founders, and the HealthTech education space

  • Certificate and reference on successful completion

  • Room to grow into a senior media or creative lead role
