Video Editor and Social Media Manager

Job Description

Video Editor & Social Media Manager 

We are looking for a skilled and versatile Video Editor who can take raw footage and deliver polished, publish-ready content for social media, YouTube, and podcast productions. This is not a role for someone who just cuts clips — we need someone who understands storytelling, pacing, and what it takes to produce a final product that looks and sounds professional across every platform. 

Writing captions and scheduling social media posts is a secondary but important part of this role. You understand that a great caption is not an afterthought — it is part of the content. Getting the right content out at the right time on the right platform is a skill in itself, and we need someone who can own that too. 

Key Responsibilities 

Video Editing 

• Edit short-form and long-form video content to a high standard — clean cuts, strong pacing, and polished delivery every time 

• Work primarily in Adobe Premiere Pro and/or Final Cut Pro — proficiency in at least one is required, both is a strong plus 

• Apply color grading, audio balancing, transitions, motion graphics, and visual effects as needed 

• Edit content optimized for multiple platforms including Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, and LinkedIn 

• Maintain consistent brand look and feel across all video outputs 

• Incorporate feedback efficiently and turn around revisions quickly without sacrificing quality 

• Organize and manage raw footage, project files, and assets in a clean, retrievable file structure 

Captions & Subtitles 

• Create accurate, well-timed, and visually appealing captions and subtitles for all video content 

• Style captions to match brand aesthetics — font, size, placement, color, and animation all matter 

• Understand the difference between captions that serve accessibility and captions that drive engagement — and deliver both 

• Edit and clean up auto-generated captions to ensure accuracy and readability 

• Write and format social media post captions that complement the video and drive action 

Social Media Management & Scheduling 

• Manage content scheduling across social media platforms including Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, and LinkedIn 

• Use scheduling tools such as Later, Buffer, Hootsuite, or Meta Business Suite to plan and publish content on time 

• Maintain a content calendar and coordinate with the team to ensure consistent, on-brand posting 

• Format and adapt video content for platform-specific dimensions, aspect ratios, and length requirements 

• Monitor post performance and provide basic analytics reports on reach, engagement, and views 

• Stay current on platform algorithm changes, trending formats, and best practices for each channel 

Content Collaboration 

• Work closely with the creative team to understand content goals and deliver on the vision 

• Provide input on content formats, trends, and ideas that could perform well on social 

• Flag when raw footage needs reshoots or additional assets to meet quality standards 

• Manage multiple projects simultaneously and meet deadlines consistently 

Required Qualifications 

• Strong, demonstrable video editing skills — a portfolio or reel is required for consideration 

• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and/or Final Cut Pro 

• Excellent captioning skills — both technical (timing, accuracy) and creative (style, engagement) 

• Experience managing social media scheduling for a brand, creator, or business 

• Understanding of content formats and best practices across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, and LinkedIn 

• Strong eye for detail — you notice when a cut is off by half a second or a caption is misaligned 

• Reliable high-speed internet and a capable editing setup to handle video files remotely 

• Excellent time management and the ability to deliver quality work on deadline 

Preferred Qualifications 

• Proficiency in both Adobe Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro 

• Experience with Adobe After Effects or motion graphics for title cards, transitions, and animations 

• Familiarity with DaVinci Resolve or other professional editing tools 

• Experience with scheduling platforms such as Later, Buffer, Hootsuite, or Sprout Social 

• Background in content creation, influencer marketing, or brand social media management 

• Ability to write compelling social media captions in English with strong tone and voice
