Video Editor: Social Media (Reels & Tiktok)

About Us We run a fast-growing DTC brand portfolio doing 7–8 figures a year, with customers in the US. Our brands grow on social media through strong creative storytelling, cultural relevance and visuals that stop the scroll. We're not a film studio or a traditional post-production house. We make a high volume of short-form content that has to grab attention in the first second, hold viewers to the end and build brands people want to be seen with. Every cut, beat and graphic has a job: driving profile visits, engagement and reach. If you live on Instagram and TikTok, understand native social culture, and can turn raw footage into polished edits people can't stop watching, this role is for you.

The Role You'll edit short-form video for Instagram Reels and TikTok. You'll work with raw creator footage, founder clips, lifestyle product shoots, trending audio and motion assets. Each edit needs to look polished and on-brand while holding viewers to the end. You'll work closely with our Creative Strategists and Brand Leads. The goal is measurable brand growth: reach, watch time, shares and awareness that converts.

What You'll Be Doing Editing & Pacing Turn raw brand footage, UGC and lifestyle b-roll into fast-moving 9:16 edits that keep people watching. Own the first 1.5–3 seconds. Build visual and conceptual hooks that stop the scroll. Cut to the music: hit the beats, drops and small transitions so the video keeps moving without feeling chaotic. Build loop endings, where the last frame flows back into the opening hook, to drive replays. Motion Graphics, Typography & Sound Design Design animated text, title cards and styled captions that fit each brand's look. Default auto-captions aren't enough. Add sound design that lands: risers, swooshes, impacts, textures and sound effects that back up what's on screen. Find and edit to trending audio, soundbites and audio formats native to Instagram and TikTok. Production & Iteration Make several versions of each core concept, for example 3–5 different hooks, sound treatments or format styles. Keep every asset inside Instagram and TikTok safe zones, clear of UI icons, captions and profile handles. Keep project files, asset folders and exports organized according to internal SOPs.
