Responsibilities

• Edit short-form video for paid social from creative briefs, raw footage, and creator-submitted content
• Build strong hooks and pacing designed to stop the scroll in the first 1-3 seconds, and hold attention through the full spot
• Produce multiple cuts and variants (lengths, aspect ratios, hooks, captions) for testing across platforms
• Partner with creative strategists to understand the "why" behind a brief and translate it into clear visual choices
• Incorporate feedback rooted in strategic intent, not just aesthetic preference
• Help identify opportunities to improve an edit based on what's worked in past campaigns
• Edit specifically for the platform: correct specs, safe zones, captions/subtitles, and native creative conventions for Meta, TikTok, and YouTube
• Stay current on platform trends, formats, and editing styles that are performing well in paid social right now
• Review and edit raw creator footage into polished, on-brief assets
• Flag gaps in creator-submitted footage that may limit what's possible in the edit, and help problem-solve around them

Requirements

• 1-3 years of experience editing video for paid social, social media, or digital marketing; agency, in-house brand, or freelance experience welcome
• A strong reel demonstrating short-form editing chops — pacing, hooks, captions, and platform-native formatting
• Proficiency in Premiere Pro and/or CapCut (After Effects a plus)
• Solid understanding of specs, trends, and best practices across Meta, TikTok, and YouTube
• An eye for what makes content perform, and curiosity about the strategy and data behind it
• Comfortable working with raw, imperfect creator footage and making it shine
• Organized and detail-oriented — you keep versions, exports, and file names clean under deadline pressure
• Coachable self-starter who takes feedback well and is eager to build speed and range over time

Preferred

• Experience editing UGC/creator content specifically for paid ad campaigns
• Familiarity with fintech, family finance, or consumer subscription products
• Basic motion graphics or animation skills
• Experience contributing to or reading paid social performance data (CTR, hook rate, thumb-stop rate) to inform edits
