Social Video Editor

Our client, a global leader in social media and digital community platforms shaping how billions of people connect, share, and communicate, is hiring a Social Content Editor to join their team.
About the Role We're looking for a fast, resourceful, and editorially sharp *Social Content Editor* to support social media content for a senior executive. This role is all about speed, polish, and storytelling-turning raw footage into compelling, platform-native content across LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and YouTube.
You'll work closely with leadership and cross-functional partners in a fast-paced, high-trust environment. You should be just as comfortable editing a sizzle reel on your phone between meetings as you are crafting a polished edit at your desk. Minimal producer support means you need to be self-sufficient, proactive, and adaptable.
This role skews heavily toward post-production and editorial craft, though baseline capture skills are expected. The content playbook will evolve as the executive's social presence matures-you should be energized by that ambiguity, not daunted by it.
What You'll Do
* Edit short-form social content including sizzle reels, talking heads, interviews, and meet-and-greet recaps
* Operate as a near-independent content creator-shooting and editing primarily on mobile with minimal production support
* Adapt content for multiple social platforms (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram Reels, Threads, YouTube) with an understanding of what performs on each
* Create light motion graphics, text overlays, and visual treatments to elevate social content
* Design and produce simple graphic content (quote cards, branded templates, visual assets) for social channels
* Maintain a fast turnaround without sacrificing quality or editorial judgment
* Collaborate directly with executives and senior stakeholders with professionalism and discretion
* Evolve the content playbook over time as the executive's channel and audience matures
What You Bring
* 5+ years of experience in social content editing, with a strong portfolio of fast-turnaround, editorially polished short-form work
* Expert-level proficiency in mobile editing tools (e.g., CapCut, InShot, Adobe Rush, or similar) and desktop editing software (e.g., Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro)
* Proven ability to shoot serviceable footage on a smartphone when needed
* Experience supporting executive communications, political communications, or public affairs content-comfort with serious, high-stakes subject matter
* Strong business acumen and interpersonal skills-you're at ease around senior leaders and can navigate executive environments with confidence
* A sharp editorial eye for pacing, storytelling, tone, and platform-native style
* Familiarity with basic graphic design and motion graphics; animation skills are a plus
* Self-starter mentality-you thrive with autonomy and can manage your own workflow
* Neutral, professional tone across all content-no partisan slant
Nice to Have
* Experience in political media, influencer content, or public-figure social strategy
* Experience with animation or advanced motion graphics
* Existing knowledge of major social platforms and best practices
*Job Type & Location*This is a Contract position based out of New York, NY.
*Pay and Benefits*The pay range for this position is $45.00 - $60.00/hr.
Eligibility requirements apply to some benefits and may depend on your job

subject to specific elections, plan, or program terms. If eligible, the benefits
