This role is at the intersection of creativity and performance. As a Video Editor, you’ll craft compelling content tailored to the unique behaviors of Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and long-form YouTube. Your edits won’t just look good—they’ll be engineered to perform, using pacing, hooks, captions, and visual rhythm to maximize watch time and shareability.
What You’ll Do
- Produce and refine short-form videos that align with current platform trends and audience preferences
- Edit long-form YouTube content with a focus on narrative flow and sustained engagement
- Break down long videos into standalone clips optimized for short-form platforms
- Incorporate motion graphics, b-roll, sound design, and pattern interrupts to boost retention
- Use captions, jump cuts, and timing techniques that capture attention in the first seconds
- Collaborate with marketing and leadership teams to shape content strategy
- Stay ahead of algorithm changes, emerging formats, and viral trends across platforms
- Contribute creative ideas for hooks, angles, and content variations
- Organize assets, manage workflows, and adapt quickly based on analytics
What We’re Looking For
- Deep familiarity with how content spreads on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube
- Clear understanding of what drives virality versus simple clarity in editing
- Proficiency in Adobe Suite, particularly Premiere Pro
- Experience turning performance data into creative decisions
- A mindset focused on growth metrics—reach, retention, engagement
- Ownership over creative direction and accountability for results
- Discomfort with excuses like 'the algorithm is random'—you believe performance can be influenced
Compensation & Culture
Compensation varies by experience, with bonuses directly tied to measurable account growth. We operate with a fast-moving, data-informed approach where creative choices are guided by results. You’ll have ownership over your work, with expectations to iterate quickly and think strategically. Cultural fit matters—this includes a shared sense of humor and strong opinions (like why pizza with ranch might be a red flag).
