Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Dual-Track Editing: Manage a daily workflow that alternates between rapid-response social trending moments and long-lead narrative storytelling.
  • Creative Initiative: Go beyond the provided footage. You are expected to add editorial value through pacing, music selection, and visual "hooks" that make fashion and beauty feel accessible and conversational.
  • Autonomous Workflow: Work with minimal direction to take projects from raw ingest to final delivery. You should be able to interpret a brief and execute a final cut that hits the mark the first time.
  • Priority Management: Successfully juggle multiple, competing deadlines in a fast-paced environment where schedules shift based on the news cycle and celebrity events.
  • Authentic Storytelling:. Your edits should prioritize real, human moments and sharp commentary over high-gloss artifice.
  • Technical Optimization: Deliver polished exports optimized for 9:16, 4:5, and 1:1 ratios, ensuring framing and text placement are perfect for each platform.

Requirements

  • Demonstrable Success: 2+ years of experience editing social-first video content with a portfolio that shows high engagement and views.
  • Expert-level in Adobe Premiere Pro is required: You must be fast, organized, and technically efficient in the timeline.
  • Editorial Judgment: A strong sense of what makes a "moment." You know how to find the most relatable, authentic clip in a sea of raw footage and build a narrative around it.
  • Visual Creativity: Proficiency in basic motion graphics, text overlays, and sound design to enhance the viewer experience without over-producing.
  • High-Volume Background: Experience working in a digital media or agency environment where you are expected to deliver high-quality work on a tight turnaround.
