Audio Editor Details

Pegasystems - Cambridge, MA

Employment Type : Full-Time

Meet Our Team:

We’re like Ocean’s 11…but you know, there’s not 11 of us. And while we’re not staging any heists, we do find ourselves in front of some pretty large challenges. We bring a whole host of different skills to the table, and consistently find creative, unique ways to get the job done (sorry Terry Benedict).

We’re a bunch of down to earth people who are close, strong partners, and we love telling compelling stories. We are incredibly talented, and we aren’t afraid to be wrong to get to the best result.


Picture Yourself at Pega:

With a few notable exceptions, it’s clear that many brands don’t get video. Sure, they have it, but they’re really like those fellas out there who buy a Corvette, only to let it collect dust in their garage. It makes an appearance at an auto show every now and then, but it’s a checkmark. A conversation piece. It’s not doing anything for them.

At Pega, video is a finely tuned engine, driving business goals, engagement, pipeline, and supporting sales. We don’t just understand the medium, we understand where to use it, and when it works best.

What You'll Do at Pega:

The video/audio editor position will mostly live in edits, however, it’ll also be your job to polish up the mix on our best content. How can we drive the story through audio? What sound design can punch up the right moments? How can we continue to push the envelope?

Working with the lead editor and producers, you’ll collaborate with our team on a multitude of projects of all different sizes. These projects include product tours, event recaps, promos and ads, customer testimonials, and much, much more.

In the edit suite, you’ll have to be ready to get your hands dirty in Adobe Premiere. With a team our size, we use a series of templates and essential graphics to make sure our edits stay organized, and our brand unified. You’ll be working alongside great partners both inside and outside the team, always looking to build the strongest possible result.

We’ll also send the very best content your way, ensuring we have a strong mix, clear VO, and adaptive music. From time to time you’ll consult on our podcasts as well, ensuring that our commitment to strong narrative and quality permeates through all our audio-related content avenues.

Who You Are:

Whether you’re editing video, audio, or both, you should have the skills to cut quickly and efficiently. You know what solid framing looks like, how to tell a story in the edit, and what audio can create exactly the right moods. You understand the value of audio, how critical it is to driving a narrative, how impactful it is in setting the mood, and you know exactly how to get the right results. You love order and certainty in your files, folders, assets, templates, exports and more. You’re a shortcut aficionado who’s always scheming on how to work faster, smarter and sharper.

You know what phoned-in, lazy editing looks like, and you can’t stand it. You can close your eyes and imagine all the boring, out-of-touch content that’s just made to be made, and doesn’t respect the time of your audience. You know every page of the corporate video playbook- that classic, dull, soft set of rules companies think their videos need to abide by, and you want to break all of them.


What You've Accomplished:
  • You’ve made content that demonstrates a deep narrative literacy
  • You’ve completed projects with tight deadlines
  • You’ve incorporated feedback from stakeholders in a way that builds partnership, while keeping the content strong
  • A portfolio and reel that demonstrates a wide range of work representing multiple storytelling approaches, techniques, production challenges, and budgets.
