Social Video Editor and Producer

Social Video Editor and Producer
The Transaction team at People Inc. is looking for a high-volume Video Producer & Editor to bring a new product's story to life across social channels. You’ll toggle between short, performance-driven social clips that require a quick turnaround and more narrative short-form series that showcase the brand to social audiences.

This role is for a true self-starter who thrives in a fast-moving startup environment and can manage multiple priorities with minimal direction. You won’t just execute a video — you’ll shape it. We’re looking for someone who can translate UGC, trends, and insights into compelling, scroll-stopping content designed to resonate with Gen Z and Millennial viewers.

You should have a strong instinct for what performs on TikTok, Reels, and emerging platforms, with a proven track record of turning ideas into high-performing social content. Most importantly, you know how to blend clarity (what the product does), emotion (why it matters), and pace (why it’s worth watching) to drive engagement and growth.
