Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Edit founder-forward short-form and long-form video content for LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook
  • Remove filler words, awkward silences, and unnecessary tangents to create tight, authority-building edits
  • Apply color grading, sound design, and strategic zoom to enhance storytelling and viewer retention
  • Add animated captions, motion graphics, and on-brand lower thirds
  • Incorporate platform-appropriate pacing, hooks, and transitions that support the content strategy
  • Repurpose long-form recordings into multiple short-form clips per platform
  • Deliver polished, publish-ready files organized by platform specs and brand standards
  • Design branded carousels and static social graphics in Canva aligned with provided strategy and copy
  • Maintain brand kit consistency across every asset - fonts, colors, and visual hierarchy every time, no exceptions
  • Adapt content formats across platforms without losing brand cohesion

Requirements

  • Strong command of the English language - written and verbal; this role requires proofreading your own work without being asked
  • Working knowledge of basic marketing principles - hooks, calls to action, audience awareness, and what makes content convert
  • Video editing experience with a demonstrable eye for pacing, clean cuts, and polish
  • Proficiency in Canva for graphic and carousel creation
  • Strong file management habits and comfort working within SOPs and project management tools
  • Ability to take clear direction and execute without needing to reinvent the brief
  • Self-motivated with strong follow-through - you meet deadlines and communicate when something is at risk
  • Prize Digital brand standards, voice, and style
  • Platform-specific specs and best practices
  • Client account onboarding processes

Preferred

  • Experience with Descript, Riverside, CapCut, Adobe Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, or similar editing tools
  • Familiarity with marketing for professional service industries
  • Comfortable being on camera for occasional behind-the-scenes or agency content
  • Experience managing content for multiple brand accounts
  • Good energy. You communicate proactively, take feedback well, and add to the vibes rather than drain them.
  • Execution-first. You read the brief, ask smart clarifying questions upfront, and then deliver.
  • Detail-obsessed. You check the brand kit before you submit. You proofread before you send. You catch the typo.
  • Always learning. When you don’t know something, you find a YouTube tutorial before you ask.
  • Trend-aware. You notice what formats are working and bring that awareness to your edits.
  • Adaptable. Priorities shift. Platforms change. You stay flexible without losing quality or missing deadlines.
