About Us

Tidelands is a Native-owned creative hub based in downtown Seattle that houses a gallery, podcast incubator, boutique, and studio. We are home to All My Relations podcast, The Old Growth Table, and a growing slate of storytelling projects that center Indigenous voices, culture, and futures.

We are artists, cultural workers, language warriors, and kinship practitioners. Our work spans exhibitions, films, publications, digital media, and public programming. We believe in story as medicine and media as a tool for transformation.

Position Overview

We are looking for a skilled and collaborative Multimedia Editor to join our team and help us bring our stories to life across platforms. You’ll work across audio, video, and written formats—editing podcast episodes, short films, reels, transcripts, and more.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who loves storytelling, works well in a fast-paced environment, and is deeply committed to Indigenous values, media sovereignty, and relational accountability.

Key Responsibilities

  • Audio Editing: Edit podcast episodes (All My Relations, Old Growth Table, etc.) for clarity, pacing, and sound quality; mix and master files for final delivery.

  • Post-Production: Add music, b-roll, captions, intros/outros, and other assets as needed.

  • Copy Editing: Review and polish transcripts, show notes, newsletters, grant narratives, and web copy.

  • File & Asset Management: Organize and archive media files, episode assets, and brand templates in Google Drive, Adobe projects and Dropbox.

  • Creative Collaboration: Participate in editorial planning, suggest visual/audio storytelling enhancements, and support rollout strategy alongside our communications team.

Qualifications

  • 3+ years of editing experience in podcasting, video, or multimedia journalism.

  • Strong command of Adobe Audition, Premiere Pro, Final Cut and/or Davinci Resolve (Preferred).

  • Excellent grammar, syntax, and storytelling sensibility across media.

  • Familiarity with social-first formats (Instagram reels, TikTok, etc.).

  • High attention to detail, deadlines, and Indigenous-centered ethics.

  • Experience working with Indigenous or historically marginalized communities a plus.

  • Strong communication skills and ability to take creative direction.
     

Highly Desired (but not required)

  • Indigenous and/or LGBTQIA2S+ editors are strongly encouraged to apply.

  • Interest or experience in animation, motion graphics, or sound design.
