About the role

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
  • Work closely with creative strategists, brand, and other editors in a fast-paced, iterative production cycle
  • Take structured feedback well and turn revisions around quickly without losing craft
  • Organize and manage project files, versions, and exports so work is easy to hand off and track

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

Nice-to-Haves

  • 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
