UGC Producer & Editor

SocialScience is a growth marketing firm built for companies ready to scale. We help brands drive measurable results across paid media, conversion strategy, creative testing, and acquisition, working with clients like charity: water, University of Maryland Global Campus, and Credit Karma. We specialize in creator-driven campaigns that drive real business results.

THE ROLE
We’re looking for a creator who can direct, shoot, and edit UGC-style ads. You’ll work with creators from our talent pool, helping them develop compelling ads for paid social.

You’ll need deep knowledge of every part of the process, from shaping the treatment to technical fluency with equipment and post. You’ll partner with our creative director and strategy team on every project. The CD owns the idea and the narrative. You own the camera, the cut, and the quality bar.

This role requires 3+ years editing reels and working with creators. Experience with paid social is a plus.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Direct remote self-shoots on iPhone and pro kit, and direct creators remotely and on set, including lighting and sound on small productions

Edit high-volume social-first assets for Meta, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and emerging placements

Cut multiple variants and hooks from a single shoot so one production feeds a full testing matrix

Handle color, audio cleanup, light retouching, motion graphics, and on-screen typography

Work with our creative director, strategists, and media team to tie creative decisions to performance data, and pitch the next round based on what the numbers said

Manage project files, versioning, and delivery specs across concurrent client workstreams

Stay ahead of platform trends, formats, and creator culture, and bring ideas unprompted

WHAT YOU NEED

3-5 years producing and editing social-first content, in-house or at an agency

3 reels that show both sides: you shot it and you cut it

Demonstrated UGC and creator-led work. You know the difference between polished brand video and content that reads as authentic

Comfortable as the only person on a shoot, and capable of directing a small crew when the job calls for it

Strong instincts for pacing, hooks, and the first three seconds

Proven ability to manage several projects at once without dropping delivery dates

Collaborative, feedback-hungry, and low-ego about killing a cut that isn't working

Based in the Philadelphia area

NICE TO HAVE

An existing creator or talent roster you can bring with you

Performance marketing literacy: you’ve read a creative report and changed your approach because of it

AI post tools (Descript, Runway, Adobe's AI features)

Stills photography on your reel

Experience in fashion, beauty, lifestyle, fintech, or nonprofit categories

COMPENSATION
$75,000 - $85,000 (commensurate with experience)
