Summary

We are a full-service marketing agency serving 100+ retainer clients across healthcare, beauty & wellness, home services, legal, real estate, food & e-comm, and more. We're bringing on a video editor to own the edit bay for client social + paid ad content. This is a long-term role, not a one-off gig. What you'll edit Vertical short-form: Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts (9:16, 1080×1920) IG feed video: 4:5 portrait (1080×1350) — this is our standing feed spec, not 1:1 Meta / Google paid ad creative (multiple aspect ratios, hook-driven, first 3 seconds critical) Occasional 16:9 for YouTube long-form and client testimonials Weekly volume ~15–30 finished videos per week across 8–12 active clients Each client runs on a monthly content calendar (Mon/Wed/Fri posting cadence) — you'll get briefed a month at a time, not one video at a time. You must be strong at Fast, clean cuts with pacing that holds attention past the 3-second scroll threshold On-screen captions/kinetic type (we ship most videos with burned-in captions) Color correction + audio leveling as a baseline, not an extra Working from raw client-shot footage (phone video, mixed lighting, imperfect audio) and making it look intentional Matching brand systems per client (fonts, colors, lower-thirds) — we'll hand you a brand kit for each Tools we use Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve (your choice — but you own your license) CapCut is fine for quick-turn social, not for ad creative Google Drive for raw + delivery Kitchen.co / ClickUp / Slack for briefs and approvals (we'll onboard you) Turnaround expectations Standard social edit: 24–48 hr first draft Ad creative: 48–72 hr with 1–2 revision rounds Rush jobs happen — we pay a rush rate Nice to have Motion graphics chops (After Effects) for animated logos, product callouts Comfort compositing product PNGs onto AI-generated backgrounds (we do a lot of this — real product, generated scene) Experience editing for paid social specifically (you know what a UGC-style ad looks like vs. a brand ad) How to apply Send: Your reel — vertical social work weighted, not wedding films 1–2 links to Meta ad creative you've cut (screen recording is fine if the ads aren't public) Your rate (hourly and per-video — we'll usually pay per-video for volume) What editing software you're on and your turnaround availability Please start your message with the word "scroll" so we know you read the post.
