Video Editor Associate

Syracuse University is building something new. We’re launching SU Global to reimagine how we support and scale accessible online pathways for non-traditional learners, in a dynamic, innovative, and data-driven environment.

We’re looking for team members who thrive in: - High-energy, in-person environments where innovation happens face-to-face - Flexible scheduling that follows student needs, not the clock - Startup intensity within a world-class university structure We’re not looking for people who want a job.
