Story-Driven Social Video Editor

Luma; Los Angeles (CA); On-site; USD 80,000 - 110,000; Full time

Job summary

Luma and Dream Lab seek an Editor in Los Angeles to own social video content that performs on TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube. You will transform raw footage, interviews, tutorials, and shorts into platform-native pieces with strong hooks, pacing, and story structure.

Proficiency in Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Photoshop is essential, plus hands-on motion graphics creation. You’ll produce short-form cuts and longer-form pieces, adapt content for multiple formats, and analyze

Qualifications

• Portfolio required showing social-first edits (Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube) and the accounts you ran or cut for with complete videos (graphics-edit).
• 3+ years of professional editing focused on social-first content, digital storytelling, entertainment, or creative marketing.
• Advanced Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects and Photoshop.
• Motion graphics you built yourself, including text and logo animation inside an edit.
• A real point of view and passion for what makes a social edit work: hooks, pacing, content pillars, and how viewership behaves differently on each platform.
• Command of pacing, structure, sound design, music, captions, and color correction, plus working knowledge of codecs, frame rates, and post workflows.
• Comfort with longer-form and narrative work. If you have cut scripted material, show us the piece and tell us what you cut.
• Self-starter habits: you can take footage to final delivery with light oversight, and you take notes enthusiastically

Responsibilities

• Cut and publish social video for Dream Lab and Luma across TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube, vertical and horizontal, at the team’s target cadence.
• Find the hook, story, and structure inside raw footage from Dream Lab shoots, workshops, creator sessions, and partner projects.
• Turn Luma product moments (Ray3.2, UNI-1.1, Luma Agents) into tutorials and demos that make a complicated creative workflow look easy.
• Be enthusiastic about trying out the tool and knowing what the team is up to.
• Build motion graphics into the video components AND text and logo animation that belong to the piece rather than a preset dropped on top.
• Cut longer-form work: YouTube series episodes, project breakdowns, interviews and profiles of Dream Lab’s team, creators, and partners, and original scripted or narrative pieces from assembly through picture lock.
• Version every piece for where it lands: cutdowns, teasers, trailers, aspect ratios, runtimes, captions, sound design, color.
• Read the performance data after a piece publishes and change the next hook, format, or opening because of it.
• Keep footage, project files, graphics, music, and exports organized so the next edit starts fast instead of starting over.
