Job Summary

Own end-to-end UGC editing for fast, platform-native short-form videos, from cut-and-clip to captions, hooks, and sound design, with rapid iteration based on performance.

  • Turn raw footage into native-feeling videos with strong 1–3 second hooks
  • Create multiple hook variants for A/B testing and optimize based on data
  • Collaborate with content/marketing/paid social teams and manage asset library

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Edit raw UGC/creator footage (talking-head, testimonial, unboxing, demo, and lifestyle-style clips) into fast-paced, native-feeling short-form videos
  • Add on-trend captions, text overlays, hooks, and sound design that match current platform formats (not corporate/ad-style editing)
  • Build strong hooks in the first 1–3 seconds to stop the scroll
  • Cut multiple variations/hooks from the same raw footage for A/B testing ad creative
  • Stay current on UGC and short-form trends, sounds, transitions, and formats across TikTok, Reels, and Shorts
  • Collaborate with the content/marketing/paid social team on briefs, creator footage selection, and performance feedback
  • Organize and manage a library of raw creator footage, hooks, captions templates, and trending audio
  • Turn around quick edits and iterate fast based on performance data or feedback

Requirements

  • 1–3+ years editing UGC, creator, or influencer-style content specifically (not just traditional/branded video) — portfolio or reel required, UGC samples strongly preferred
  • Strong proficiency in CapCut and/or Adobe Premiere Pro
  • A sharp instinct for what makes UGC feel authentic vs. overproduced — pacing, captions, hooks, and sound that match platform-native norms
  • Familiarity with performance-driven editing (hook variations, A/B testing creative, editing to metrics/retention)
  • Ability to work independently, prioritize, and hit fast turnaround times
  • Strong communication skills and comfort taking/receiving feedback
  • Bonus: experience editing UGC for paid social/ad creative, basic motion graphics, or on-camera creator experience yourself
