Responsibilities

• Edit short-form and mid-form demand gen videos for paid social, paid search, email, and landing pages.

• Transform raw footage, b-roll, product shots, and motion graphics into platform-optimized cuts.
• Create multiple versions and cutdowns tailored to platforms like Meta, YouTube, Pmax and Demand Gen placements.
• Add captions, titles, motion graphics, and light animation; enhance storytelling and pacing for performance.
• Collaborate closely with the demand gen and creative teams to interpret briefs, shape concepts, and improve videos based on feedback and performance data.
• Maintain organized project files, deliverables, and versioning for fast-moving campaigns.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience editing marketing, performance, or demand gen video content.
• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro.
• Demonstrated experience using AI tools in the video creation workflow (scene creation, VFX, captioning, VO, editing acceleration, etc.).
• Strong understanding of how to create thumb-stopping hooks and story structure for paid media.
• Deep knowledge of platform-specific video specs, best practices, and creative formats.
• Ability to work quickly, adapt edits to feedback or performance data, and manage multiple deadlines.
• A portfolio showcasing both video editing skills and AI-enhanced creative work.

Benefits:

• Competitive salary.
• Health insurance: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage.
• Retirement plan: 401(k) with company match.
• Paid time off: Generous vacation, holidays, and sick leave.
• Career growth: Opportunities for ongoing training and professional development.
