Schedule: Monday to Friday 8:00am to 5:00pm PST
Conditions: Independent Contractor | Long Term
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.
Requirements
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.
Benefits
Why Join?
- Great opportunity to help shape the creative voice of a fast-growing pet brand.
- Work with talented cross-functional teams (product, ops, marketing) where video makes a direct business impact.
- Flexibility to experiment and be creative — not just formulaic ads. Needs a self starter + someone who can work on their own, advise and plug+play.
