Senior Video Editor, Paid Social

Greenlight is looking for a

Senior Video Editor, Paid Social

to own the craft and performance of our video creative across paid social. You will take strategy and raw footage and turn them into scroll‑stopping, high‑performing video, bringing an editorial point of view and platform expertise to shape what gets made, not just execute the cut.

Your day‑to‑day:

Lead editing for our highest‑priority and highest‑spend paid social campaigns, from brief through final delivery

Set the creative and technical bar for hooks, pacing, and platform‑native storytelling across the team's output

Independently make strong creative calls on ambiguous or underspecified briefs, looping in strategists as needed rather than waiting on direction

Partner closely with creative strategists to understand and challenge the strategic rationale behind a brief

Use performance data (CTR, hook rate, thumb‑stop rate, and other paid social metrics) to inform edit decisions and proactively recommend new creative directions

Build a feedback loop between what's performing and how the team edits going forward

Serve as the go‑to expert on platform specs, native conventions, and emerging formats across Meta, TikTok, and YouTube

Identify and test new editing styles and formats ahead of the curve, not reacting to trends after they've peaked

Set the standard for turning raw, imperfect creator footage into polished, high‑performing assets

Give clear, specific feedback to creators (directly or through strategists) on what footage will and won't cut well, improving submission quality over time

Review and give feedback on edits from junior and mid‑level editors, raising the craft bar across the team

Help onboard new editors, sharing tools, shortcuts, and editorial standards

Help build and document workflows, templates, and best practices that let the team move faster without sacrificing quality

Act as the editorial voice in conversations with creative strategy and brand, defending craft decisions with clear rationale

Manage multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously, prioritizing across a fast‑paced, iterative production cycle

What you'll bring to the table:

5+ years of experience editing video for paid social, performance marketing, or digital advertising, with a track record of high‑performing creative

A standout reel showing range and mastery of short‑form editing: hooks, pacing, captions, and platform‑native formatting at a senior level

Advanced proficiency in Premiere Pro (After Effects strongly preferred; CapCut a plus)

Deep, current knowledge of specs, algorithms, and best practices across Meta, TikTok, and YouTube

Fluency in reading and acting on paid social performance data to inform creative decisions

Experience giving and receiving structured creative feedback, including mentoring more junior editors

Proven ability to work independently, manage ambiguity, and prioritize across multiple concurrent projects under deadline

Strong communication skills — you can articulate the "why" behind an editorial choice to both creative and non‑creative stakeholders

Nice to have:

Experience building or managing editorial workflows, style guides, or training materials for a team

Experience editing UGC/creator content specifically for paid ad campaigns at scale

Familiarity with fintech, family finance, or consumer subscription products

Motion graphics or animation experience beyond the basics

Experience partnering directly with media buyers on creative testing strategy
