ScaleUp is hiring: Offline Video Editor in New York

Senior-Level Offline Video Editor

We are seeking a senior-level Offline Video Editor with strong experience creating high-performing social media videos while maintaining commercial and brand-level quality. This role focuses on editing short-form and mid-form content for platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, and paid digital campaigns, with an emphasis on storytelling, pacing, and audience retention.
This is not entry-level social editing. We are looking for editors who understand platform behavior, attention dynamics, and visual impact, and who can deliver polished, intentional edits that feel premium, not templated.
What we're looking for:
A minimum of 5 years of experience with video editing
Advanced experience with Premiere Pro and/or DaVinci Resolve
Proven experience editing social-first video content for brands, campaigns, or products
Strong storytelling instincts, pacing, and hook-driven editing
Deep understanding of platform-specific formats, ratios, and viewing behavior
Ability to balance speed, clarity, and brand consistency
Experience working with high-quality footage and strong creative direction
Comfortable receiving feedback from creative directors and clients
Highly organized workflow and strong media management
Ability to handle fast turnarounds without compromising quality
Bonus:
Motion graphics or light After Effects integration
Sound design sensibility for social platforms
Experience with performance-driven or paid social content
Experience working with international teams and remote workflows
Requirement:
Portfolio must demonstrate industry-level social video work for real brands or campaigns.
Basic reels, trends-only edits, or purely casual content will not be considered.
