About the Brand
This is a fast-growing DTC company in the pet space, dedicated to creating high-quality, innovative products that make life easier (and more fun) for pets and their humans. Their paid social strategy leans heavily on active, engaging video content across Facebook/Meta, Instagram Reels, and TikTok—blending product features, lifestyle moments with pets, and performance-driven storytelling.

About the Role
We’re seeking a Video Editor (minimum 5 years of experience) who can transform raw footage and brand assets into high-converting, pet-focused video content tailored for Facebook/Meta, Instagram Reels, and TikTok. The content should bring product functionality and benefits to life in real pet scenarios (durability, comfort, ease of use) while emphasizing emotion, engagement, and action.

Responsibilities

• Edit short-form video content (15–60 seconds) for ads and social media platforms.
• Incorporate product close-ups, usage demonstrations, and shots with pets to evoke emotion and trust.
• Add motion graphics, transitions, captions, sound effects/music to enhance storytelling and clarity.
• A/B test different cuts / video versions to improve performance metrics (CTR, engagement, conversions).
• Optimize video formats for placements (Feed, Stories, Reels, etc.).
• Collaborate closely with marketing strategists, copywriters, and creative leads to align with campaign goals and messaging.
• Stay updated on pet/pet-owner content trends, consumer behavior, and social video best practices.

Ideal Candidate

• Portfolio of high-performing video work, especially in pet, animal, or consumer-goods verticals.
• Strong technical skills: Premiere Pro / Final Cut / After Effects (or equivalent) for video editing and graphics work.
• Sense of pacing, emotion, and storytelling — knows how to pull in viewers in the first 3 seconds.
• Comfortable adapting content for different platforms (aspect ratio, sound-on/off, captions).
• Data-driven mindset: experience using metrics to inform editing decisions.
• Bonus: experience with UGC-style content (user footage), and/or ability to shoot own footage if needed.
