In-House Video Editor (PORTFOLIO REQUIRED)

In-House Video Editor & Social Media Content Creative

Are you a creative video editor who’s always on top of the latest social media trends? Do you love turning raw footage into engaging, outside-the-box content that pops on any feed? Are you the kind of video editor who thrives on bringing full skits, viral trends, and creative storytelling to life? We’re looking for someone who does way more than just add text on a screen. You’ll be crafting full, engaging social media content that stands out in a crowded feed.

What You’ll Do:

• Transform raw footage into dynamic, story-driven videos that might include acting skits, talking-head reels, and outside-the-box creative pieces from our clients.

• Have a strong sense of judgment for cutting out filler, making our clients look fantastic, and keeping the energy high. That means removing the “ums” and polishing every scene.

• Access and incorporate stock images or video from approved platforms to elevate the final product.

• Stay ahead of social media trends and bring fresh, innovative ideas to each project.

• Collaborate with the assigned filmer to make sure everything is on-brand and that we’re telling compelling stories for our local business clients.

• Edit and creatively assemble videos from a bank of pre-recorded content to produce eye-catching Reels, TikToks, and social media clips.

• Communicate clearly and be open to feedback so we can nail each project together.

• Note: This role will start on a per-project payment basis as we ramp up. Once we scale, you’ll move into a more consistent monthly arrangement with a steady flow of work.

Why You’ll Love This Role:

You’ll be part of a creative, fun process that helps local business owners shine online. This role goes beyond simply putting text on a screen—it’s about storytelling, creativity, and producing content that truly stands out. You won’t just be editing; you’ll be a creative partner, collaborating with us to bring ideas to life and help brands grow. As we continue to scale, there’s an opportunity to move from per-project work to a consistent monthly arrangement, becoming a key part of our creative journey. If you’ve got the skills and the passion, we’d love to hear from you!

Must Have:

• Portfolio required
• Minimum 1 year of video editing experience for social media platforms
• Proven ability to edit from large content libraries (sorting footage, selecting the best clips, cutting filler, and assembling cohesive videos)
• Strong creative judgment — ability to make clients look their best, remove awkward moments, “ums,” pauses, and distractions
• Comfortable editing talking-head videos, creative skits, trend-based content, and storytelling edits
• Up-to-date with current social media trends, pacing, hooks, and formats
• Experience using stock video or image platforms (or willingness to learn the platforms we use)
• Strong attention to detail, visuals, pacing, and overall polish
• Ability to work independently, meet deadlines, and communicate clearly
• Open to feedback and collaborative revisions (this is a creative partnership, not just task-based work)
• Basic understanding of branding, storytelling, and audience psychology
• Interest in growing with a creative agency long-term
