What You'll Do

• Edit engaging, social-first video content with quick turnaround times.
• Create and adapt content for social and other digital channels, with an understanding of how creative needs to perform differently by platform.
• Use Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects to edit, enhance, animate, and deliver polished creative assets.
• Partner closely with Art Directors to bring creative concepts and campaign ideas to life.
• Support the development of comps, mockups, and creative ideas for internal and leadership presentations.
• Help execute creative across social, email, web, and other digital touchpoints.
• Work within fast-paced daily and weekly production timelines while maintaining a high level of attention to detail.
• Stay current on emerging social, fashion, video, and content trends and bring fresh ideas to the team.
• Collaborate with creative partners, communicate proactively, and confidently manage multiple priorities.
• Potentially support content capture/shooting based on experience and project needs.

What We're Looking For

• Strong hands-on video editing experience with a portfolio or reel demonstrating your work.
• High proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro.
• Experience with Adobe After Effects, including motion and animation for digital content.
• Experience editing content specifically for social media platforms.
• Ability to execute quick-turn edits in a fast-paced creative environment.
• Approximately 1-2+ years of relevant design, video editing, or creative production experience; strong internship or early-career professional experience may also be considered.
