About the Role

Were looking to expand our roster of freelance and part-time video editors who specialize in paid social and UGC-style editing.

This is a fast-paced, detail-driven role ideal for editors who know what performs on Meta, TikTok, and YouTube Shortsand can cut engaging narratives that stop the scroll.

  • Be open to pivoting your editing approach based on performance data or strategic shifts.

You'll thrive in this role if you are:

  • Skilled in Adobe Premiere (or similar) with fast turnaround time and strong attention to detail.
  • Familiar with the anatomy of a high-performing paid adhook, problem, benefit, CTA.
  • Comfortable editing in a variety of styles: lo-fi UGC, TikTok trends, testimonial mashups, etc.
  • Scrappy and adaptableyoure just as comfortable in CapCut or Splice as you are in Premiere when speed and simplicity matter.
  • Responsive, communicative, and comfortable working asynchronously across time zones.
