Job Description
Senior Video Editor
Jerry
• Edit high volumes of performance video ads end-to-end across TikTok, Meta, YouTube, CTV, and emerging channels — from first assembly through final delivery. • Cut with performance instincts: building tension in hooks, controlling pacing, and constructing narratives that convert. • Iterate rapidly based on performance data and creative feedback — versioning, testing, and optimizing assets with speed and precision. • Collaborate with creative leads, producers, and growth teams to bring scripts and briefs to life, and push back constructively when the edit calls for it. • Handle motion graphics, basic color, and audio mixing to deliver polished, platform-ready assets without relying on additional post resources. • Organize and maintain an efficient editing workflow — managing project files, asset libraries, and version control across a fast-moving creative pipeline. • Leverage AI editing tools and generative workflows to accelerate output and unlock new creative possibilities. • QC all outgoing assets against platform specs and Jerry's brand standards before delivery.
Job Requirements
- 5+ years of professional video editing experience, ideally with significant time spent on performance or direct-response creative (paid social, DTC, app-based brands, or performance agencies).
- Deep fluency in Premiere Pro and/or Final Cut; comfortable with After Effects for motion and basic compositing.
- Strong performance editing instincts — you understand hooks, pacing, and CTAs, and you can feel when a cut isn't working and why.
- Ability to operate at high volume without sacrificing quality — you're organized, fast, and consistent.
- Motion graphics and basic color grading capability — you can deliver a finished, polished asset without needing a dedicated finisher.
- Collaborative and communicative — you take direction well, give clear feedback, and are easy to work with across creative and growth teams.
- AI fluency — you actively use or experiment with AI-assisted editing tools to work faster and smarter.
- Bonus: experience editing across both performance and brand contexts — you know how to make an ad that converts and feels premium at the same time.
