About the Role
We’re looking for a high-impact Video Editor to join our Creative team and support a rapidly scaling video ecosystem across our paid marketing and e-commerce channels. This is a full-time, embedded role for an editor who is confident owning day‑to‑day execution, bringing sharp editorial judgment, and proactively improving how work gets done. You’ll collaborate closely with senior video leadership, but you’ll be trusted to manage your scope independently, flag gaps, and help us scale output without sacrificing quality. While this role is not responsible for setting overall creative direction, it does require strong instincts, taste, and the ability to improve systems—not just deliver files.

What You’ll Do
Own Business-As-Us-

Paid ad edits across evergreen, launch, and promo cycles

Creator / UGC adaptations and performance iterations

Versioning, resizing, and exporting across formats and markets

Select merchandising assets for our site and wholesale partners

Social and other internal video requests

Collaborate & Elevate

Partner closely with the Lead Video Editor to align on standards, tone, and priorities

Receive direction on new or higher‑stakes formats, then independently execute once aligned

Actively identify opportunities to streamline workflows, templates, and handoffs

Surface recurring issues, inefficiencies, or gaps that slow output or create rework

Contribute to documentation, best practices, and repeatable processes

Bring a Scaling Mindset

This role is expected to think beyond individual edits:

Flag process or tooling improvements that increase speed and consistency

Help evolve how we manage versioning, exports, and review cycles

Identify patterns in feedback and proactively adjust approach

Support the team in handling higher volume without quality degradation

You are not just executing tasks—you are helping the system work better.

Scope & Decision-Making

You will independently own small-to-medium complexity edits.

Larger, experimental, or first‑time formats will be:

Set by senior video leadership, or

Clearly templated before handoff

As trust and context deepen, ownership and autonomy has the opportunity to expand. Creative direction and final sign-off sit with senior video leadership, but this role is expected to exercise judgment and initiative within defined frameworks.

What We’re Looking For
Experience

3–5 years of professional video editing experience

Experience supporting:

Paid social or performance marketing creative

Creator / UGC or influencer content

Brand or e-commerce video assets

Experience working within established brand systems while improving execution

Skills

Strong editorial instincts and attention to detail

Comfortable operating at volume in fast‑moving environments

Organized, proactive, and systems‑minded

Able to take feedback, synthesize patterns, and apply learning forward

Clear communicator in async, distributed teams

Tools

Adobe Premiere Pro (required)

After Effects (working familiarity preferred)

Frame.io or similar review tools

Comfort working within shared asset and file‑management systems

Bonus for experience in basic sound mixing, color grading, and motion graphics
