Essential Duties and Responsibilities

• Drive the editorial quality and consistency of social video content across long-form YouTube and short-form vertical formats through high-quality, hands-on editing.
• Translate creative briefs into finished, platform-native, on-brand work, incorporating supporting graphic design elements such as carousels, banners, and end cards as needed.
• Provide input on editing standards and best practices used by the team without owning the process.
• Solve complex creative and technical challenges hands-on, both in post-production and on set or in production.
• Use AI generation tools to concept, generate, and refine visual content as part of the editing and production workflow.
• Bring strong creative judgment and brand-aligned craft to individual output, raising the bar through the quality of the work.
• Maintain brand consistency across all video and graphic output according to established style guides.
• Organize and manage raw and finished assets within the team’s digital asset library using proper naming and tagging conventions.
• Collaborate with copywriters, producers, editors, and Social Media and Marketing leadership to turn briefs into finished deliverables across formats.
• Travel approximately once per quarter to support onboard or location shoots and content productions.
• Stay current on platform-specific trends across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, and proactively recommend format and style opportunities.
• Manage multiple concurrent deliverables across different formats and turnaround times.
• Perform other related duties as assigned.

• Experience editing both short-form vertical content and long-form YouTube content.
• After Effects or motion graphics experience is strongly preferred.

• Strong organizational skills and the ability to shift between formats without sacrificing quality.
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.
• Self-motivation, ability to work independently, and judgment to mentor less experienced editors.
• Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Design, Film or Video Production, Communications, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
