GREENVILLE, SC

9/8 Central is looking for a Junior Video Editor who loves the craft of short-form social video and wants to keep pushing it forward.

You’ll work across a mix of projects, from brand films to podcast content, but social is where you’ll spend most of your time. You stay current on what’s working on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. You watch things with intention. You think about why content holds attention, what makes a viewer stop scrolling, and how editing choices drive that. Then you bring that thinking into your work, not just your scroll.

You’re early in your career but serious about the craft. You’re coachable, organized, and excited to produce work that performs, not just work that looks good. You want to be around experienced editors, learn from them, and grow into more independent work over time.

If editing social content feels like the most interesting problem in the room, this role was built for you.

First, a little about you:

You’re the kind of person who notices the details others miss. You care about pacing, storytelling, clean edits, and making every frame feel intentional. Whether you’re organizing footage, tightening a sequence, or fine-tuning audio, you take pride in turning raw media into something polished.

You’re genuinely curious about social. You follow what’s working, experiment with format and pacing, and stay current on platform-specific trends because you actually find it interesting, not because someone asked you to. You know that editing for social is its own discipline, and you want to get good at it.

You’re eager to learn and excited to grow. You enjoy collaborating with experienced editors, asking thoughtful questions, and applying feedback to become better with every project. You’re organized enough to manage multiple edits at once, adaptable when priorities shift, and motivated by seeing a creative vision come to life.

Most importantly, you love the craft of editing. You’re willing to put in the work, sharpen your skills, and become a dependable teammate others can count on.

If you find yourself nodding along, we want to hear from you.

RESPONSIBLE FOR:

• Edit short-form social video for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube with platform-specific intent
• Stay current on short-form content trends, emerging editing techniques, and platform algorithm changes, and bring that awareness into your work
• Edit a variety of video formats under the guidance of our senior editors, from social clips to brand films
• Ingest, back up, and organize footage and digital assets
• Work with a mix of media including video, audio, photos, and graphics to assemble polished final pieces
• Create captions for social media videos so content works across every platform
• Collaborate with internal teams to understand the creative vision behind each project
• Manage multiple projects with overlapping deadlines without losing the details

REQUIREMENTS:

You love editing social content.

Short-form is your medium. You understand that editing for social is different from editing for broadcast or long-form. You know how pacing, hooks, and audio choices affect retention. You stay current on what’s working across platforms and bring that knowledge into every edit.

Organization is your superpower.

You thrive in an organized workflow. From footage and project files to exports and archives, you keep everything in its place and can confidently manage multiple projects without losing the details.

Editing fundamentals matter.

You have a solid understanding of pacing, continuity, storytelling, and audio. You’re comfortable in Adobe Premiere Pro and are eager to keep sharpening your technical and creative skills.

You love to learn.

You're coachable, curious, and excited to grow. You welcome feedback, apply it to your work, and see every project as an opportunity to become a stronger editor. That same curiosity extends to the platforms you’re editing for.

Strong communication skills.

Clear, professional communication is a must. You ask thoughtful questions, collaborate well with producers and editors, and keep teammates informed throughout the editing process.

Details make the difference.

You notice the little things others might miss. Wh
