Greenlight is looking for a Video Editor, Paid Social to help bring our creative strategy to life on screen. You'll take briefs, raw footage, and creator content and turn them into fast, scroll-stopping videos built specifically for paid social (Meta, TikTok, YouTube, etc). This is a great role for someone early in their editing career who already has strong instincts for pacing, hooks, and platform-native storytelling, and wants to sharpen those instincts against real performance data.
This is a hands-on, production-focused role with room to grow. We're looking for someone who's fast and detail-oriented in the edit bay, but who's equally hungry to understand why an edit works.
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
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
Experience editing UGC/creator content specifically for paid ad campaigns
Familiarity with fintech, family finance, or consumer subscription products
Basic motion graphics or animation skills
Experience contributing to or reading paid social performance data (CTR, hook rate, thumb-stop rate) to inform edits
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

Who we are:
It takes a talented team to aim for a mission like ours. We're looking for people who ask "is it bold enough?" People who bring their real selves to the table and push the people around them to do the same. We win by never hesitating to jump in, offer a hand, or share the credit, because we know we're stronger together than apart. And through all of it, the mission stays the thing we measure ourselves against: are we doing right by the families counting on us? If that sounds like your kind of team, we'd love for you to apply.
