• Create strong hooks within the first few seconds to capture attention and improve viewer retention.
• Use pacing, storytelling, captions, music, sound effects, transitions, and visual effects to strengthen each creative.
• Create multiple versions of videos to test different hooks, messaging, formats, angles, and CTAs.
• Edit UGC-style and creator-led ads that feel authentic and native to social platforms.
• Repurpose existing and long-form content into multiple short-form assets.
• Work closely with creative strategists, designers, marketers, and social teams to bring concepts and briefs to life.
• Review creative performance and use insights to improve future edits and iterations.
• Stay current with emerging TikTok, Instagram, Meta, and short-form video trends.
• Maintain brand consistency while adapting creative to the style and behavior of each platform.
• Manage multiple projects and deliver a high volume of creative assets within deadlines.
• Keep video assets, project files, and working files organized.

What We're Looking For

• 2+ years of professional video editing experience, preferably for DTC, e-commerce, fitness, fashion, activewear, lifestyle, beauty, wellness, or other consumer brands.
• Strong portfolio demonstrating short-form social and performance marketing videos.
• Hands-on experience editing content for TikTok, Instagram Reels, Meta Ads, and/or YouTube Shorts.
• Experience creating paid social ads, UGC-style videos, and creator-led content.
• Advanced proficiency with Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, CapCut, or similar professional editing tools.
• Strong understanding of hooks, pacing, storytelling, viewer retention, visual hierarchy, and sound design.
• Understanding of how creative influences performance metrics such as CTR, CVR, CPA, engagement, and conversions.
• Experience creating multiple creative variations for A/B testing and performance-driven iteration.
• Ability to take a creative brief and independently turn it into polished, ready-to-publish video assets.
• Ability to work quickly in a high-volume creative environment without sacrificing quality.
• Strong organization and ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines.
