Job Summary

Own end-to-end creator-focused video editing and motion graphics for vertical platforms, collaborating with design and strategy to deliver native, accessible content across TikTok/Shorts while supporting other channels.

  • Lead editing and motion design for vertical formats
  • Collaborate across teams to ensure accessibility and brand translation

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.

Preferred

  • Experience with modern AI workflow tools is a major plus.
