This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, which manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Freelance Social Content Editor based in the United States.

Join a creative, strategy-driven marketing environment where engaging storytelling and social-first content help ambitious consumer brands stand out in a competitive digital landscape. As a Freelance Social Content Editor, you will transform raw footage, user-generated content, and creator videos into polished, platform-ready assets for leading social media channels. You will collaborate closely with creative, social media, influencer, and production teams to bring brand stories to life through compelling short-form video. From dynamic cuts and captions to sound design and visual effects, your work will help capture attention and strengthen audience engagement. You'll have the opportunity to experiment with emerging trends, creative formats, and platform-specific editing techniques. This fully remote, part-time freelance opportunity offers flexibility, creative variety, and the potential to grow alongside an expanding marketing consultancy.

Accountabilities

  • Edit short-form video content for client social media channels using raw footage, user-generated content (UGC), creator videos, and other source materials.
  • Produce polished, platform-ready videos tailored to TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and other social media formats, ensuring the correct specifications, aspect ratios, captions, and export settings.
  • Enhance content with captions, text overlays, graphics, music, and sound design while maintaining brand guidelines and adapting to current social media trends.
  • Collaborate with creative, social media, influencer, and production teams to understand briefs, interpret creative direction, and deliver engaging content aligned with campaign objectives.
  • Incorporate feedback efficiently and accurately across multiple revision rounds, maintaining quality and consistency throughout the editing process.
  • Manage multiple editing assignments across concurrent client projects, prioritizing tasks and meeting agreed deadlines and turnaround times.
  • Organize project assets and deliver final files according to established naming conventions, file management practices, and delivery standards.
  • Stay informed about evolving social media trends, including editing styles, popular sounds, pacing, storytelling techniques, and platform best practices.
  • Contribute creative ideas and editing recommendations that improve content quality, strengthen audience engagement, and support client objectives.
  • At least five years of professional video editing experience, with a strong focus on short-form social media content.
  • Proficiency in CapCut and familiarity with other video editing tools, such as Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, or native social media editing applications.
  • Strong understanding of platform-specific requirements, video formats, aspect ratios, editing conventions, and creative best practices for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.
  • A portfolio or showreel demonstrating high-quality, social-first video editing and the ability to create engaging content for digital audiences.
  • Experience incorporating captions, graphics, text overlays, music, and sound design into polished short-form videos.
  • Excellent time management and organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple projects, meet tight deadlines, and maintain consistent quality.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with distributed teams, respond constructively to feedback, and manage revisions independently.
  • A proactive, detail-oriented approach, with the flexibility to adapt to changing priorities, creative briefs, and client requirements.
  • Current knowledge of social media trends and a demonstrated ability to translate emerging formats and editing styles into relevant, engaging content.
  • Based in the United States and available to work with U.S. time zones.
  • Previous experience working with a marketing agency or consultancy is preferred.
  • Experience creating content for consumer packaged goods (CPG) brands or other consumer-facing businesses is an advantage.
  • A bachelor's degree in Film, Media, Communications, Marketing, or a related field is preferred, although equivalent professional experience is also accepted.
  • Flexible freelance engagement: Part-time, contract-based work with hours varying according to content volume and project needs.
  • Fully remote work: Work from anywhere in the United States while collaborating with a distributed creative team.
  • Creative variety: Edit content for a diverse portfolio of ambitious consumer brands across social media platforms.
  • Collaborative culture: Work alongside creative, social media, influencer, and production professionals in a supportive, team-oriented environment.
  • Professional development: Gain exposure to evolving social media trends, new editing techniques, and varied creative approaches.
  • Growth potential: Opportunity to expand your involvement as the business and client portfolio grow.
  • Competitive compensation: Hourly or project-based rate to be determined, commensurate with experience and expertise.
  • Meaningful creative impact: Help brands communicate their stories, engage audiences, and strengthen their presence across digital channels.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
