Role Overview

We’re looking for a Short Form Content Editor to own post-production across three core workstreams: client ad creative, internal agency marketing content, and internal own paid ads.

This is a high-volume, fast-turnaround role where you’ll be editing 15–25+ clips per week across multiple brands and formats. You’ll work closely with the Media Team and leadership to produce high-performing, social-first content.

What You’ll Do

Client Ad Creative Editing

• Cut raw creator and UGC footage into polished, high-converting ads (15s, 30s, 60s)
• Build variations of top-performing creatives for testing
• Add text overlays, captions, CTAs, motion graphics, and sound design
• Maintain brand consistency across multiple client accounts

Internal Agency Content

• Edit short form content for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and LinkedIn
• Turn internal footage (founder content, team clips, events, case studies) into engaging social-first edits
• Support thought leadership content aligned with the agency’s voice

Internal Ads & Paid Acquisition

• Edit ad creatives for the agency’s own Meta and TikTok campaigns
• Create VSL cuts, testimonial mashups, and direct-response style ads
• Rapidly iterate on ad variations based on performance feedback

Requirements:
• 2+ years of experience editing short form video (TikTok, Reels, Shorts)
• Proficiency in CapCut, Premiere Pro, and/or After Effects
• Strong understanding of direct response creative and conversion-focused editing
• Ability to handle high output (15–25+ deliverables per week) without sacrificing quality
• Experience with captions (SRT or hardcoded), motion graphics, and sound design
• Excellent sense of pacing, hooks, and retention editing
• Fluent in English (written and verbal)
• Comfortable working asynchronously via Slack and Loom
• Reliable internet connection and capable editing setup
