Who We're Looking For
We're looking for a social-native video editor who understands how content actually performs on TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.
This is not a traditional editing role. The ideal candidate lives on social media, understands platform culture intuitively, and can independently identify the strongest moments from long-form content without needing clip-by-clip direction.
You should know how to create edits that feel native to the feed — with strong hooks, pacing, captions, sounds, transitions, and storytelling designed specifically for short-form attention spans.
The right person moves quickly, stays ahead of trends, exercises strong editorial judgment, and consistently delivers high-performing content at volume.
What You'll Own
Edit TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts with platform-native pacing and style
Review long-form source material and independently identify strong editorial and viral moments
Add captions, music, hooks, text overlays, sound effects, and transitions aligned with current platform trends
Repurpose and remix existing content into multiple short-form formats
Deliver 10–12 high-quality clips per week while managing multiple deadlines simultaneously
Produce same-day mobile edits for time-sensitive content when required
Use AI-assisted editing tools to accelerate workflow without compromising quality
Propose edit concepts, trends, and content formats aligned with brand strategy and social culture
Workflow & Collaboration
Receive content direction from the Marketing Coordinator and visual direction from Andrea
Submit edits through Frame.io for internal and client review
Apply feedback quickly and iterate efficiently
Collaborate with the broader creative and production team to maintain delivery timelines
Share ongoing trend insights, platform learnings, and editing observations with the team
What We Need From You
Minimum 2 years of experience editing short-form social content for TikTok, Reels, or Shorts
Deep understanding of TikTok culture, trends, creator formats, and platform-native editing logic
Strong independent editorial judgment — able to identify compelling moments without heavy direction
Experience editing founder-led, personal brand, or thought-leadership content
Proficiency in CapCut, Premiere Pro, or equivalent editing tools
Ability to operate quickly while maintaining strong creative quality
Familiarity with AI-powered editing workflows and automation tools
Spanish fluency is a plus
Who Thrives Here
This role is best suited for someone who:
Lives online and understands internet culture intuitively
Thinks like both an editor and a content strategist
Moves quickly without sacrificing quality
Takes initiative instead of waiting for detailed instructions
Constantly studies trends, creators, hooks, and platform behavior
Enjoys fast-paced, high-volume creative environments
