Social-First Video Editor

We're looking for a social\-first video editor who knows how to make content feel native to the feed. Someone who can find the moment worth watching in a long clip, turn rough creator footage into a tight edit, and make a paid social ad that earns attention in the first few seconds. You'll edit short\-form content across TikTok, Instagram Reels, Facebook, YouTube Shorts, and other channels. Good instincts, resourcefulness, and speed matter more here than formal film training or traditional production credits. We need someone comfortable working with imperfect inputs, producing multiple versions, and catching the details before anything goes live. You'll collaborate with our creative and performance teams across clients. As we expand our in\-house content capabilities, there may also be opportunities to support content capture and production. ### **Responsibilities** * Edit fast, platform\-native short\-form videos for paid social across TikTok, Instagram Reels, Facebook, YouTube Shorts, and other channels * Pull the strongest hooks, sound bites, and moments from long recordings, interviews, UGC, and raw creator footage; turn them into concise, compelling clips * Build effective edits from imperfect or limited inputs, including phone footage, product shots, B\-roll, stills, and existing client assets * Turn around multiple creative variations quickly, testing different openings, lengths, pacing, on\-screen copy, CTAs, and formats * Make content feel native to each platform through tight pacing, captions, sound, overlays, and simple motion where it adds value * Work closely with paid media, creative strategy, design, and account teams; use briefs, feedback, and performance learnings to improve each new edit * Own the final quality check for spelling, captions, brand and product names, offer details, audio levels, framing, safe zones, and export specs * Manage edits, revisions, and deadlines across multiple clients without sacrificing organization or accuracy * Bring ideas to the table: spot stronger hooks, suggest new cuts, and share relevant social trends or formats worth testing * Keep project files, source footage, templates, and exports organized so assets can be found, reused, and iterated on easily ### **Requirements** * A portfolio that proves you can make strong short\-form social edits. Relevant work matters more than a specific number of years or formal training * Strong instincts for the first few seconds of a video, pacing, retention, captions, and clear storytelling * Comfortable clipping longer footage, choosing the best moments, and creating a strong edit from raw or messy inputs * An understanding of how creator\-style content differs from polished brand video, and what feels native to TikTok, Reels, and Shorts * Experience producing multiple versions of an edit for testing, with fast turnaround times * Comfortable using CapCut, Premiere Pro, or another editor efficiently; advanced motion graphics expertise is not required * Resourcefulness with basic graphics, captions, audio cleanup, and simple effects that make an edit stronger * Excellent attention to detail, especially spelling, captions, product and offer accuracy, and platform specs * Able to take direction, apply feedback quickly, and communicate clearly about timing or blockers * Organized and dependable when juggling several clients, briefs, and deadlines * Bonus: experience creating or capturing phone\-first content, using AI\-assisted editing tools, or working on performance marketing creative ### **Perks** * Opportunity for growth in the company * Work alongside a great slate of clients and team members * Fun, creative, and collaborative company culture * Hybrid work environment ### **Compensation** * Commensurate with experience * Long\-term disability insurance * Health care offering, including dental and vision * Unlimited Paid Time Off We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information.
