Social Video Editor
New York
Sponsorship not specifiedDetected 92 days ago
About the role
- We are hiring a social video editor who specializes in YouTube Shorts and TikTok to cut social clips for a prestige music documentary podcast hosted by cultural critic, and best selling author Hanif Abdurraqib and launching May 13.
- You will be cutting both hero YT Shorts and a volume layer of clips across the pre-launch runway and the first several episode drops, pulling from premium interview footage, Detroit archival, and already-greenlit B-roll.
Responsibilities
- You will build Shorts against a creative brief that has clip targets and content pillars already mapped per episode.
- Each Short opens with a two-second hook, lands a payoff inside thirty seconds, and drives viewers to the long-form episode on YouTube.
- You are fluent in text-on-screen pacing, caption styling, and platform-native motion design.
- You move fast, take creative direction well, and deliver on tight timelines.
- You are equally comfortable building premium hero pieces and turning around a higher volume of lighter clips without losing craft.
Requirements
- You live on YouTube Shorts and TikTok and you can prove it with a reel.
Benefits
- Bonus points if you have worked on music, documentary, or creator-economy content before.
Visa & Work Authorization
- The series is independently produced by Magnet Originals (no sponsor or brand attached), but with a global entertainment partner who is supporting the launch.
