Who We Are

At Just Ingredients – a health and wellness e-commerce company – we believe that nourishing your body with real ingredients is essential for living a healthy and fulfilling life. That's why our products are made using carefully selected, whole-food ingredients. And our people are just as real as our ingredients – authentic, collaborative, and dedicated to fostering a workplace that inspires individuals and teams to reach their full potential.

What We're Looking For

We are looking for a seasoned and driven Lead Editor to own the creative post-production process for Just Ingredients' commercial and branded content. The ideal candidate brings a sharp editorial eye, deep platform fluency, and the leadership skills to raise the bar for an entire team. You understand that great editing isn't just about aesthetics — it's about performance. You'll translate brand strategy into high-converting creative across YouTube, Meta, and TikTok, while mentoring a team of editors and setting the standard for taste, speed, and results.

What You'll Do

Editorial Ownership

• Own the end-to-end edit of commercial spots — from first cut to final delivery — with full command of pacing, sound design, color, and music selection
• Drive creative decisions that balance brand integrity with performance outcomes, ensuring every cut is optimized to stop the scroll and drive action
• Maintain a consistent visual and editorial identity across all content, from polished brand spots to UGC-style hybrid formats
• Manage and organize an efficient asset library of footage, audio, graphics, and templates to support fast, high-quality turnaround

Platform & Performance Editing

• Edit with a social-first mindset — crafting hooks, retention patterns, and platform-specific cut styles tailored to YouTube, Meta, and TikTok
• Translate brand strategy and campaign goals into creative that performs, not just impresses
• Optimize all content for platform-specific formats, aspect ratios, and algorithmic best practices
• Stay ahead of emerging editing trends, viral formats, and platform shifts to keep content competitive and fresh

Leadership & Collaboration

• Lead and mentor a team of editors, providing clear creative direction, constructive feedback, and hands-on support
• Set and uphold the team standard for quality, speed, and creative judgment
• Collaborate closely with creative, marketing, and growth teams to align editorial output with campaign objectives and performance data
• Partner with the broader creative team on music selection, sound design, and finishing to ensure every deliverable meets the highest standard
• Review and approve team edits before delivery, ensuring consistency and quality at every stage

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation with experience
• Health benefits and wellness perks
• Generous Just Ingredients product discounts
• A mission-driven team culture that truly cares about what we put in our products — and in our people
• Opportunities for growth as we continue to expand
• A fast-paced, collaborative, and energetic work environment

Soft Skills & Culture Fit
