Job Description

We're looking for a creative and tech-savvy video editor who eats, sleeps, and breathes the language of social video to create thumb-stopping video that captivates audiences and delivers powerful results.

The Role:

We are seeking a highly creative and proficient Mid-Level Video Editor to join our growing team. You are not just an editor, you are a visual storyteller who understands how to stop the scroll. Your playground is short-form content (Reels, Shorts, Meta & Google ads), and your toolkit includes both traditional editing mastery and cutting-edge AI video generation tools. You will be responsible for transforming raw footage and ideas into high-impact, engaging, and shareable videos that drive views, engagement, and growth.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Edit & Execute: Produce a high volume of compelling, polished video content for social media platforms, with a heavy focus on Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and for Meta and Google ads.
  • Master the Hook: Strategically implement visual hooks in the first 3 seconds to maximize viewer retention and engagement.
  • Leverage AI: Utilize AI video generation and editing to create unique visuals, enhance footage, and streamline the editing workflow.
  • Pace & Rhythm: Expertly control the pace and rhythm of edits to match platform trends and audience expectations, ensuring high energy and watch-through rates.
  • Creative Ideation: Collaborate with the content and marketing teams to brainstorm and storyboard concepts that are native to each social platform.
  • Asset Management: Source and manage various assets, including stock footage, music, sound effects, and graphics, ensuring all content is on-brand.
  • Data-Informed Edits: Analyze video performance metrics to understand what works and iterate on future edits for continuous improvement.
  • Maintain Quality: Ensure all final deliverables are of the highest technical and creative quality, optimized for each platform's specifications.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

  • 3-5 years of professional video editing experience, with a portfolio/showreel heavily featuring social-first, short-form video content.
  • Expert proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Premiere Pro required, After Effects & Photoshop strongly preferred).
  • A keen understanding of "visual hooks," pacing, and storytelling techniques specific to short-form video.
  • A strong portfolio that showcases impactful, creative edits—you can show us examples of your work that made a measurable difference.
  • Excellent knowledge of current social media trends, audio trends, and platform-specific best practices.
  • Ability to work efficiently, manage multiple projects simultaneously, and meet tight deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
  • A collaborative spirit and excellent communication skills.

Bonus Points (Nice-to-Haves):

  • Experience with motion graphics and basic animation.
  • Basic color grading and sound mixing skills.
  • Knowledge of viral marketing principles.
  • Experience editing for YouTube (long-form) in addition to short-form.
