Responsibilities

• Cut short vertical content for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts and LinkedIn, at volume, without the quality sliding.
• Cut long-form podcast episodes and YouTube pieces end to end.
• Pull the clips out of long-form and know which moment is the one.
• Handle colour, audio, captioning, motion titles and sound design on your own work.
• Cut for each platform on its own terms, rather than exporting one file five ways.
• Work directly with the account managers who own the client relationships, so the edit serves the strategy.
• Keep footage, projects and exports organised well enough that anyone can find anything.
• Watch what is actually landing across platforms and bring ideas back, instead of only working the brief.
• Hit deadlines across several brands at once without being chased.

Requirements

• Three or more years editing social video, at an agency, in-house, or for creators. What matters more than the number is what you have shipped.
• Proof, not just a reel. You can point at work that performed and tell us why.
• Real fluency in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve, plus fast clean short-form work in CapCut or similar. Long-form and vertical both.
• A genuine feel for social. You know what makes someone stop scrolling and stay, and why a piece that works on TikTok dies on LinkedIn. You can articulate it, not just sense it.
• Fluent with AI editing tools, and clear-eyed about them. Transcript-based editing and auto-captioning (Descript or similar), pulling shorts from long episodes (Opus Clip or similar), and the AI features now inside Premiere. You use them to move faster and you know exactly where not to trust them.
• Speed with taste. Volume is real here. So is the standard. We need both, and we will ask how you protect quality when the queue is full.
• Ownership. You take a brand, you carry it, and it does not need chasing.
• Based in the Scottsdale area or willing to relocate. This is an in-person role, five days a week.

Preferred

• Motion graphics in After Effects.
• Multi-camera podcast editing.
• Your own content or audience, so you know the work from the creator side too.
• Experience cutting for a founder or executive with a real following.
• Sound design that goes past dropping a track under the cut.
• You have built something with AI beyond prompting — an automation, a workflow, anything you wired together yourself.

Benefits

• W-2 with health insurance and benefits.
