Agency experience is a major plus, especially if you’ve worked across multiple brands and know how to move quickly in a fast-paced environment.

Add motion graphics, captions, text overlays, sound design, transitions, and platform-native effects

Understand direct response principles and build creative with conversion in mind

Collaborate with media buyers, creative strategists, and account teams to iterate based on performance data

Maintain organized file systems and fast turnaround times

Stay on top of trends in paid social creative and editing styles

What We're Looking For

3+ years of video editing experience (paid social / DTC / eCommerce preferred)

Strong portfolio showing ad creative, UGC ads, direct response, or conversion-focused content

Agency experience strongly preferred

Deep understanding of Meta and TikTok creative best practices

Strong instincts for hooks, pacing, retention, and storytelling

Ability to edit quickly without sacrificing quality

Comfortable receiving feedback and iterating fast

Organized, dependable, and proactive communicator

Tools/ Skills
