Role Overview

We’re seeking a results-oriented Video Editor & Motion Designer who thrives in fast-paced, high-growth environments and understands the power of attention, emotion, and conversion in digital content. You’ll be part of a creative performance team focused on building social-first, story-driven video content that doesn’t just stop the scroll—but drives real business outcomes.

This role isn’t just about editing footage. It’s about designing visually arresting, emotionally resonant, and high-converting video narratives that perform across platforms like TikTok, Meta, YouTube, and Instagram.

If you know how to blend storytelling with motion graphics, and you live for measurable creative impact, we want to see what you’ve got.

Think your edits can drive millions in revenue? Submit your portfolio, resume, and 2–3 examples of performance-driven videos you've edited to [e-mail].

Responsibilities

• Design, edit, and animate short- and mid-form video ads optimized for paid social platforms.
• Transform UGC, branded content, and creative briefs into compelling video assets.
• Apply motion graphics, animated text, color grading, sound design, and visual effects to maximize viewer engagement and retention.
• Use performance data to iterate and improve video content based on insights.
• Collaborate with marketing managers and creatives to align with strategic campaign goals.
• Stay up-to-date with platform trends, viral content formats, and editing innovations to ensure content feels native and competitive.
• Establish narrative structure in content—identify the hook, build tension, offer a solution, and insert strategic CTAs.
• Maintain an organized workflow with raw footage, ensuring assets are optimized for editing.

What You Bring

• 3+ years of experience in video editing and motion design, ideally in DTC, paid social, or UGC-heavy campaigns.
• High proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and/or Final Cut Pro and After Effects (required); familiarity with Photoshop, Illustrator, and Media Encoder (a plus).
• Expertise in color grading, audio mixing, light correction, and motion graphics.
• Demonstrated success crafting videos that drive engagement and conversions.
• Working knowledge of AI-assisted editing tools (Descript, RunwayML, etc.) is a strong plus.
• Strong sense of typography, layout, and visual composition
• Deep understanding of social media trends, editing styles, and platform-specific audience behaviors
• A hustle mindset—you’re self-motivated, proactive, and can meet tight deadlines without sacrificing quality.
• Comfortable working independently and collaborating cross-functionally on a remote team.
