Job Description
Video Editor creating scroll-stopping videos for paid social for family fintech company. Focusing on engagement and platform-native storytelling with room for growth.
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
Benefits:
- Medical, dental, vision, and HSA match
- Paid life insurance, AD&D, and disability benefits
- Traditional 401k with company match
- Unlimited PTO
- Paid company holidays and pop-up bonus holidays
- Professional development stipends
- Mental health resources
- 1:1 financial planners
- Fertility healthcare
- 100% paid parental and caregiving leave, plus cleaning service and meals during your leave
- Flexible WFH, both remote and in-office opportunities
- Fully stocked kitchen, catered lunches, and occasional in-office happy hours
- Employee resource groups
