Video Editor Job at Upper Echelon Products in New York

Upper Echelon Products is a top 1% Amazon seller built on data-driven product design. Founded in late 2015 around the Repel umbrella, the top-selling umbrella in e-commerce for the last decade, UEP has grown into a portfolio of proprietary and acquired brands spanning home, outdoor, and lifestyle categories. Our team members work across offices in Austin and Shenzhen and remotely across more than a dozen countries.

Role Summary
UEP is looking for a UGC Editor to turn raw creator and affiliate footage into scroll-stopping, native-feeling content for TikTok Shop, Amazon, and paid social. You'll take a high volume of user-generated and influencer-submitted clips and transform them into polished, on-brand videos that convert — without losing the authentic, "made by a real person" feel that makes UGC work. This is a hands-on editing role, not a producer or strategist seat: you'll spend the bulk of your time in the timeline.

Key Responsibilities

Edit raw creator/affiliate/UGC footage into finished short-form videos for TikTok Shop, TikTok organic, Instagram Reels, and Amazon video placements

Cut multiple content variations per brief (different hooks, lengths, CTAs) to support A/B testing across brands

Add captions, text overlays, sound design, pacing, and trending audio/effects to keep content native to each platform

Maintain consistent brand look-and-feel across UEP's portfolio of brands while preserving the authentic UGC aesthetic

Organize and manage a high-volume footage library (raw clips, briefs, deliverables) across multiple concurrent brand projects

Collaborate with the TikTok Shop Operations & Content Manager and creators/affiliates to ensure content matches brief intent and brand guidelines

Turn around edits quickly to keep pace with a fast-moving content calendar and trend cycle

Flag footage or performance patterns that could inform better creator briefs going forward

Requirements

1–3+ years of experience editing short-form video content, ideally UGC, influencer, or social-first content (not corporate/brand video)

Strong command of editing software (e.g., Premiere Pro, CapCut, Final Cut Pro)

Demonstrated understanding of what makes TikTok/Reels content perform — pacing, hooks, captions, trends, native feel

Ability to manage a high volume of footage and deliverables across multiple brands/projects at once

Strong eye for detail and consistency while working quickly

Comfortable taking written briefs and creative direction and executing independently

Proven creative that has scaled on organic or paid

Expert level of experience with Claude, ChatGPT, Eleven Labs, Higgsfield integrations, as well as other Ai-first editing tools

Preferred Qualifications

Experience editing content specifically for e-commerce brands or TikTok Shop

Familiarity with sound design/motion graphics basics (kinetic text, simple animations)

Experience working with affiliate/creator-submitted footage (vs. in-house shoots)

Prior experience supporting multiple brands or clients simultaneously

What Success Looks Like

Content that performs — high watch-through, engagement, and conversion on TikTok Shop and social

Fast, reliable turnaround that keeps pace with the content calendar

Videos that feel authentically "UGC" even after editing, not overproduced
