People Inc., New York, NY, United States
Social Video Editor/Producer | InStyle
InStyle is seeking a Social Video Editor/Producer for our social platforms. We are looking for a high-volume editor who can seamlessly toggle between "quick-turn" social clips and high-touch, narrative-driven short-form series.
This role requires a self-starter who can navigate multiple, competing priorities with minimal direction. We aren’t looking for someone to simply follow a storyboard; you are expected to bring your own creative vision to the timeline to elevate raw assets into high-performing content with a proven, demonstrable track record of social success.
Assignment Details
Hourly Rate: $55/hr
Hours: 40 hours per week
Schedule: Hybrid (3 days in office, on-site (NYC))
Location: People Inc. NYC Office, 225 Liberty Street
Duration: May 4 – Sept 30, 2026 (Potential for extension)
Key Post-Production Responsibilities
Dual-Track Editing: Manage a daily workflow that alternates between rapid-response social trending moments and long-lead narrative storytelling.
Creative Initiative: Go beyond the provided footage. You are expected to add editorial value through pacing, music selection, and visual "hooks" that make fashion and beauty feel accessible and conversational.
Autonomous Workflow: Work with minimal direction to take projects from raw ingest to final delivery. You should be able to interpret a brief and execute a final cut that hits the mark the first time.
Priority Management: Successfully juggle multiple, competing deadlines in a fast-paced environment where schedules shift based on the news cycle and celebrity events.
Authentic Storytelling: Your edits should prioritize real, human moments and sharp commentary over high-gloss artifice.
Technical Optimization: Deliver polished exports optimized for 9:16, 4:5, and 1:1 ratios, ensuring framing and text placement are perfect for each platform.
Skills & Experience
Demonstrable Success: 2+ years of experience editing social-first video content with a portfolio that shows high engagement and views.
Expert-level in Adobe Premiere Pro is required: You must be fast, organized, and technically efficient in the timeline.
Editorial Judgment: A strong sense of what makes a "moment." You know how to find the most relatable, authentic clip in a sea of raw footage and build a narrative around it.
Visual Creativity: Proficiency in basic motion graphics, text overlays, and sound design to enhance the viewer experience without over-producing.
High-Volume Background: Experience working in a digital media or agency environment where you are expected to deliver high-quality work on a tight turnaround.
