We’re Looking For An: Editor

Location: Asheville, NC or Remote

What You’ll Be Doing:

We’re seeking an experienced editor with 5+ years experience to help craft captivating, often disruptive marketing videos that weave storytelling magic to sell health and wellness products, principally through online social platforms like Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok.

Candidates will have extensive familiarity with Adobe Creative Suite (advanced knowledge of Premiere and Media Encoder; experience with AfterEffects and Audition a plus). We seek a nimble editor who can dance through tight deadlines, with a surgical attention to detail and ability to juggle management of multiple creative projects simultaneously.

As Editor, you will work closely alongside Video Producers and other team members to sculpt commercial-quality video and audio in the viciously competitive space of social media networks. You will work with Producers to identify common visual and short-form storytelling trends, and make data-driven quick-turnover ad optimizations.

Creatively, your mind is a treasure trove of innovative thinking, always seeking new angles and perspectives in the art of storytelling and brand-building. You’re a natural collaborator, always open to ideas, and unafraid to share your own. You thrive off a creatively competitive environment, and allow your ego to EMPOWER your work and drive – NOT bulldoze others. You possess exceptional communication skills, swiftly responding to requests and embracing feedback. Your true strength shines in the realm of creative teamwork.

Applicants with backgrounds in direct-to-consumer marketing and UGC-style editing will find their talents highly valued, especially if you have a passion for lifestyle, health, skincare, and pet care.

• Collaborate with media buyers and marketing specialists; translating strategic, data-based asks into creative ad iterations; learn from nuanced engagement metrics to finesse your work and improve account performance as well as your own tactical creative intuitions.
• Satisfy no-notice, often spontaneous Smartphone-captured shoot requests for homemade videos designed to stop the scroll of viewers receiving ads across multiple social media platforms
