Social Editor

imagi(nation)

We’re bold, creative, pushing boundaries, sparking innovation and creating the extraordinary on the daily. Our entrepreneurial spirit and passion drives us to find new paths for some of the most recognized brands in the world. We act locally for global impact. We take risks. We empower. We go beyond.

To those who won’t settle for the expected—you’ve found your crew.

We are looking for a Social Editor who natively understands vertical video culture and the psychology of the scroll. Someone who lives in the same corners of the internet as our audience. You feel bad pacing in your core. You've watched a fan edit and immediately dissected how it was made. You get that good, social-first pacing makes the difference between a quick scroll-past and a viral hit.

Transparency matters to us. For this role, you can expect a salary between $65,000-80,000 annually, depending on experience. This is for an existing vacancy.

what you'll do.

• Edit short-form content that actually holds attention — TikToks, Reels, Shorts, paid social. Utilize Premiere Pro to execute high-energy, fan-edit style pacing, precise text layouts, and seamless audio integration. You'll own the hook, the rhythm, the cut. You'll be the team's internal compass on what's working on social right now, and why.

you're right for this if:

• You've used CapCut unironically (and know when Premiere Pro is actually the right move)
• You can explain re-watch mechanics without Googling them
• You've clocked a brand doing a trend wrong or just not getting social-first content at all.
• You know a video without baked-on subtitles is already at a disadvantage.
• You've sent a peer a video just to show them what good vertical framing or social editing looks like.

what we need.

• A portfolio of short-form work with real engagement.
• Fast. Across multiple briefs at once.
• Strong instincts on audio, text, motion, pacing
• Someone who can explain why something works, not just execute it

bonus:

• You've grown a channel, or have had social edits go viral.

to apply:

• Portfolio (could be a reel, links, or a folder of recent edits) and one video you wish you'd made.

What’s in it for you:

We value the ‘whole you’

• An innovative and entrepreneurial work environment that promotes ingenuity and individuality - with the best of colleagues, and the best of clients
• Hybrid work models and flexible hours, plus a work from anywhere policy for short-term stays in other regions

• Agency summer days (exact policy differs per campus and agency)
• Modern, open co-working spaces with coffee & snack bars, located in great city neighborhoods, close to shops and restaurants and easy access to public transport
• Dogs allowed, dedicated Play Room to support families and Private wellness room (in select offices)
• Team social events - holiday parties, seasonal gatherings, weekly happy hours, inspiring speakers and more!
