M2 Animation hiring Editor, Bangkok

M2 Animation is far more than a production house; it is a premier international CG studio where storytelling meets technical brilliance. As a cornerstone of the Danish-owned M2 Group, we operate with a unique cultural DNA: the high-octane production standards of North America paired with the empathetic, balanced, and egalitarian sensibilities of Scandinavia.

Our Bangkok studio is a vibrant melting pot of over 200+ professionals representing more than 20 nationalities. We pride ourselves on an informal yet highly ambitious atmosphere where creativity knows no borders. Our portfolio is diverse and expansive, covering everything from high-spec short-format films and commercial TVCs to major animated series for “Tween,” 2D, and preschool audiences. We work with some of the biggest names in the global entertainment industry, and we are looking for a visionary Editor to help us shape these narratives.

The Position: Creative Architect of the Final Frame

M2 is seeking a proactive, artistically minded, and technically proficient Editor to join our editorial department. In the world of animation, the Editor is the secondary director. You aren’t just cutting footage; you are defining the rhythm, the comedic timing, and the emotional resonance of every project.

The successful candidate will have a proven track record in editing CG animation series, short films, and high-end commercials. You should be someone who can speak the language of “story” while navigating the technical complexities of a modern animation pipeline.
