Creative Video Editor for Social Media

TRAFFIK Advertising is seeking a highly skilled Video Editor with a strong track record in social-first content, motion graphics, and adaptable editing across formats. This is a full-time, on-site role based in Irvine, CA.

We’re looking for someone who can produce high-volume, short-form video content optimized for platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and others—with a deep understanding of what drives engagement and performance. Experience supporting executive visibility or personal branding content is a plus.

This role also includes traditional video editing assignments—from campaign launches to brand storytelling—and may involve supporting a range of creative needs based on client priorities and team workload.

Key Responsibilities:

• Edit and deliver daily short-form social video content with motion graphics, type, and effects optimized per platform
• Create and adapt content for executive/personal brand storytelling with clarity and polish
• Collaborate with creative, strategy, and social teams to deliver compelling visual narratives that align with campaign goals
• Contribute to traditional campaign video editing, such as brand films, TV spots, or digital video, as needed
• Apply performance insights to inform editing decisions and drive ongoing improvement
• Maintain flexibility to support content capture, editing, and publishing around events or key moments, including evenings or weekends when necessary

Required Skills & Experience:

• 1+ years professional experience in video editing, with a strong social portfolio and relevant performance metrics
• Demonstrated success editing content that drives views, engagement, and shares
• Mastery of Adobe Creative Suite, with strong skills in motion graphics and animation
• Deep familiarity with social video trends, formats, pacing, transitions, and audience behaviors
• You live and breathe social content and know what is trending day to day
• Excellent communication, time management, and file organization skills
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment, managing multiple priorities and timelines

Preferred:

• Experience producing content for executive personal brands
• Background in agency, media, or branded content
• Skills in sound design, color grading, or 3D motion graphics

This is an on-site role at TRAFFIK’s Irvine office. While standard hours are maintained, flexibility is required for occasional night and weekend work in alignment with campaign moments, real-time content opportunities, or client needs.
