Linktree; United States; Remote; USD 70,000 - 110,000; Full time

Job summary

Linktree is seeking a social video editor in the United States to produce platform-native, high-volume content across Reels, Shorts, YouTube, and more. You will own the edit end-to-end, from concept through final delivery, and adapt assets for multiple social surfaces.

You'll combine storytelling instinct, speed, and technical skills (Premiere Pro, CapCut, After Effects) to craft native cuts, varying lengths and formats while collaborating with channel managers to test and optimize content.

Qualifications

• 3–5 years editing social or digital video for a brand, agency, publisher, creator, production company, or your own audience.
• A portfolio of platform-native work across Reels, TikTok, Shorts, YouTube, or comparable formats that demonstrates storytelling, pacing, craft, range, and attention to detail.
• Expert-level proficiency in Premiere Pro or an equivalent professional editing tool, plus fluency in CapCut and working knowledge of After Effects or similar motion tools.
• A strong instinct for hooks, pacing, retention, comedic or emotional timing, music, sound design, and the small editorial choices that make content feel native.
• The ability to turn imperfect, mixed-quality, or loosely structured footage into clear, compelling stories without requiring heavy production support.
• Speed and systems thinking: manage a high-volume edit queue, build reusable templates, create versions efficiently, and hit deadlines without sacrificing quality.

Responsibilities

• Own editing and post-production from concept through final delivery.
• Create platform-native cuts for Reels, Shorts, YouTube, and other surfaces with channel-specific variations.
• Craft hooks, retention-driven openings, and testing-driven variants to optimize performance.
• Shape clear, compelling social-first narratives across assets.
• Produce multiple edits, aspect ratios, durations, and variants to support testing and cadence.
• Create lightweight motion treatments, titles, subtitles, and simple graphics to aid comprehension.
