We are looking for a creative and fast-paced Video Editor who can transform raw footage into compelling, high-impact visual content across social media and paid advertising channels. This role is ideal for someone who understands digital content consumption deeply-someone who knows what grabs attention, keeps viewers engaged, and drives action. You will work across a mix of quick-turnaround social edits and more polished, performance-driven ad creatives, balancing speed with quality. Beyond execution, you will bring your own creative perspective, suggesting editing styles, pacing, and visual approaches that enhance storytelling and performance. This is a high-volume, high-ownership role where efficiency, creativity, and adaptability are key to success.

• Create polished ad creatives designed for performance, conversion, and brand consistency
• Work across both high-production and lightweight edits depending on content requirements
• Transform raw footage into compelling narratives with strong pacing, rhythm, and visual appeal
• Add motion graphics, animations, and visual enhancements to elevate content quality
• Manage multiple video projects simultaneously while meeting tight deadlines
• Proactively suggest creative directions, editing styles, and improvements based on content goals
• Adapt edits based on feedback and deliver quick, high-quality revisions
• Stay updated with trends in social media content, editing styles, and digital advertising formats

What Makes You a Great Fit

• 1-3 years of hands-on experience in video editing with a strong and diverse portfolio
• Proficiency in professional editing tools such as Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or similar
• Experience with motion graphics and animation tools like After Effects
• Familiarity with quick-edit tools and mobile-first editing platforms for social content

• Knowledge of social media trends and what drives engagement and conversions
• Ability to manage high-volume workloads with strong organization and prioritization skills
• Openness to feedback with the ability to iterate quickly and efficiently
