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.

• 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

• 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

• 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

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
