Job Summary

Own the end-to-end editing and motion graphics workflow for vertical platform-native content, driving narrative pacing, brand-adaptive visuals, audio design, accessibility, and cross-channel support across TikTok/Shorts and beyond.

  • Lead fast-paced collaboration with Art Directors, Designers, and Strategists to translate briefs into polished, platform-native assets.
  • Drive accessibility, trends, and platform-native optimizations across video assets.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • - TikTok-First Editing & Narrative Pacing: Edit high-retention vertical video formats (TikTok and YouTube Shorts) optimized for native platform behaviors. You know how to command attention in the first 3 seconds, structure high-utility "show, don\'t tell" walkthroughs, and design seamless loops.
  • - Social Motion Graphics & Animation: Design and animate platform-native overlays, custom teacher-centric stickers, kinetic typography, lower thirds, and transitions that make unscripted, raw videos feel cohesive, premium, and highly social-native.
  • - "The Revolution Approach" Brand Translation: Work with the design team to stretch brand’s visual guidelines into unpolished, creator-style typography and visual assets that make videos feel native to the organic feed.
  • - Sound Design & Audio Curation: Source, edit, and blend trending audio tracks, native sound effects (SFX), and clear voiceover tracks to drive algorithmic lift and structural rhythm.
  • - Accessibility & "Creating for Everyone" Integration: Ensure 100% accessibility compliance across all vertical assets, including designing custom, high-contrast, burned-in captions, visual framing that respects safe zones, and alt-text layouts.
  • - Existing Channels Support: While TikTok/Shorts is your priority, you will provide secondary support to our Existing Channels Team (Facebook, LinkedIn, and X) to polish and animate clean video assets for those communities.
  • - Agile Team Collaboration: Work in a highly integrated, sprint-based workflow alongside our dedicated team of Art Directors, Designers and Strategists.
  • - Brainstorm and collaborate on conceptual creative solutions for big and small campaigns
  • - Produce video/motion requests for appropriate account leads, meeting strict deadlines, and prioritizing requests
  • - Ability to articulate creative choices to fellow designers, account team members, and clients

Requirements

  • - Social-Native Portfolio: 4+ years of professional video editing and motion graphics experience at a creative agency or brand, with a portfolio heavily showcasing high-performing organic vertical video content (TikTok, Shorts, Reels).
  • - Technical Tool Mastery: Advanced proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, and mobile-first editing platforms like CapCut. Experience with modern AI workflow tools is a major plus.
  • - Production Adaptability: Skilled in working with both high-fidelity agency assets and completely raw, unscripted UGC, elevating both to look effortlessly native.
  • - Collaborative Spirit: Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment alongside client-side stakeholders and partner agencies to ensure organic video wins are quickly prepped and optimized for paid.
  • - Operational Agility: Experience working in fast-paced agency environments with cross-agency sync pipelines.
  • - Technical Skills: Strong understanding of post-production workflows, color correction/grading, audio balancing/mixing, and video encoding standards.
  • - Soft Skills: Excellent time management, receptivity to creative feedback/edits, strong communication skills, and a collaborative mindset.

Benefits

  • - A workplace that’s alive with courage, ideas, respect and humanity
  • - Professional growth and development programs to help advance your career
  • - Comprehensive health care and wellness plans for your entire family
  • - A 401(k) Savings Plan and Flexible Spending Accounts
  • - Paid holidays, Unlimited Paid Time Off (Personal, Sick, Vacation), and Summer Fridays
  • - Additional Perks: Family Leave, Well-Being Programs, and Commuter Benefits
