Short Form Video Editor

About Carpe
Carpe is the fastest growing deodorant brand in the US. Our team is made up of smart people who genuinely care about the work, building together in person in downtown Durham, NC. The office is open and warm, with plenty of quiet niches when you need to focus, and the pace is fast.
Our creative is a big reason we are winning. We have built a place where creative, experimentation, and performance work together, and our ads consistently outperform the market. The person in this seat gets to be a real part of that.
Who we\'re looking for
We are looking for a Video Editor to work closely with our creative team and turn raw footage into ads people actually want to watch. One of the best parts of this role is the chance to learn short-form ad editing from some of the people who do it best, with real support along the way. You will never be figuring it out alone.
You will edit a wide range of videos for Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, and sometimes national TV. The work spans vertical short-form for paid social and horizontal content for YouTube and TV.
The feedback loop here is fast and genuinely fun. You cut something this week, it goes live next week, and a few days later you can see exactly how it performed. Then you fold in what you learned and make the next one even better.
If you live in Premiere, think in hooks, and love the craft of making a cut land, you will feel at home here.
If this excites you but you do not check every box, we would still love to hear from you.
What you\'ll do
Edit creative video concepts for Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and beyond
Work side by side with the Head of Growth to bring each edit to its full potential
Shape story, pacing, sound, and motion so every ad hooks in the first seconds and sells
Look at how the work performed and use what you learn to make the next edit stronger
What we\'re looking for
You are a strong, fast editor with a real eye for story and pacing
You have a portfolio that shows range, both vertical short form and horizontal
You are comfortable in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects
You have a feel for storytelling and selling, especially in short form
You care about getting better at this craft over time
How you work
You are collaborative and easy to trade feedback with
You keep several edits moving without losing track of any of them
You move quickly and iterate happily when notes come back
You take pride in the details, from color to sound to the final frame
Nice to have
Color grading, sound editing, and motion graphics
Paid social creative for Meta, TikTok, and YouTube
UGC and creator-led content
A sense of how your edits performed (views, spend, signups, retention, anything)
What you\'ll get
Competitive salary based on experience
A company computer of your choosing

Health insurance (Carpe covers a portion), with vision and dental options
Employer paid life insurance
Free product, a snack and drink bar, and a team of brilliant, determined, and kind people to build alongside
