Job description

We're looking for a Social Video Editor / Motion Graphics Artist who lives inside a timeline, knows a great hook when they see one, and thrives on the challenge of making content that stops the scroll.

You're passionate about short-form social content, have a sharp eye for pacing, and believe that testing variations is just as important as the edit itself-keep reading.

What You'll Do:

• Edit and deliver high-quality short-form social videos at speed- because testing content means producing options, not just one cut
• Create multiple variations of edits (different hooks, pacing, lengths) to support performance testing and internal creative reviews
• Develop motion graphics that elevate content and feel native to the platform - not like a slideshow
• Mix music, add sound effects, and handle audio in a way that makes people want to keep watching
• Apply color correction and grading to ensure visual consistency and quality across deliverables
• Support our photography and videography team by editing the content they capture-social posts, brand content, and beyond
• Assist with ad production and web video projects as brand needs arise
• Format and optimize content for every platform and aspect ratio - Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and wherever else we show up
• Stay current on trends and platform behavior so our content always feels timely and relevant
• Juggle multiple projects and deadlines without losing quality or momentum

What You Bring:

• 1-3 years of video editing experience, with a strong focus on social and short-form content
• Solid skills in Adobe After Effects and the broader Adobe suite (Premiere Pro, Audition, etc.)
• A real understanding of what makes social content perform- hooks, pacing, variation and how to test it
• Experience with music mixing and sound design: you know how audio shapes a viewer's experience
• Working knowledge of color correction and grading
• Comfortable taking a project from raw footage to final deliverable independently
• Strong attention to detail- one frame off is still off
• Good communicator who can take direction and give clear creative feedback
• Experience creating content for TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and similar platforms
• Comfortable collaborating across teams- whether that's photo/video, brand, or 3D
