Social Video Editor

About the role

We’re looking for an energetic and experienced Social Video Editor to produce, edit, and publish social-first video content for Morning Brew’s handles across multiple platforms in order to grow audience and engagement. The job is perfect for someone with a deep understanding of distributed content and social media, experience with platform-specific content and formats, stellar video editing/production skills, and a passion for creative storytelling. Impeccable editorial judgment is a must.

The Social Video Editor will work closely with the video team to produce and distribute original content on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. The ability to juggle deadlines, calendars, and inter-departmental workflows will be crucial.

You’re our ideal candidate if you’re a highly organized self-starter with a collaborative mindset — deliverables are cross-departmental and the daily workflow requires coordination with multiple stakeholders across different parts of the Morning Brew organization. You’re fluent in production software and related tools, and you have ample experience with video that looks and feels native to each individual platform. You have experience working with creators and thrive in a creative, collaborative environment.

The Social Video Editor will report to the Senior Post Producer but will work closely with the entire video, growth, and social team. 

What you'll do:

• Providing feedback to the video team on what bites/moments/timestamps would make great social cuts for each platform.
• Collaborating with the video team on how to think “social-first” and keep the platforms in mind for everything they’re shooting.
• Editing social content for various platforms and optimizing for performance using graphics, music and text. 
• Constantly seeking new opportunities for user engagement and social growth across the web and testing new ideas. At times, this may mean interacting with viewers via the Morning Brew handles.
• Supporting marketing priorities with original social video assets.

About you

• 2+ years of experience in digital video editing, or content creation for a news or media organization.
• Professional-level experience with Adobe Premiere, After Effects, and Photoshop. Ability to turn around edits quickly.
• Working knowledge of Photoshop and an eye for design are a must
• A deep understanding or professional experience with social media platforms, including YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, Snapchat and Facebook. 
• Professional-level writing skills: The ability to write not just with voice and humor, but succinctly, with perfect grammar and punctuation. 
• Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail, with a passion for working ahead of deadlines.
• The drive to work independently and practice good time-management.
• A game-for-anything attitude, a can-do mindset, and the ability to thrive in collaborative environments.

What else are we looking for?

Character and integrity rank pretty high on the list. Our team is guided by our core values:

• Curious - We strive to learn every day through constant questioning and exploration.
• Purposeful – We do everything with the highest level of thoughtfulness, preparation and focus.
• Empathetic - We are good, genuine people who embrace others' perspectives.
• Challengers - We approach every day with an underdog mentality and are never complacent.

Perks

While being surrounded by a bunch of cool people who look great in crewnecks is its own reward, we have plenty more to offer.

• Unlimited sick and vacation time: And by “unlimited,” we mean absolutely unlimited.
• Remote-work friendly: Work from home, work from the office, work from the moon — you decide.
• 401(k) employer match: We want to help you prepare for the future, now. 
• Premium healthcare plans: Your health matters!
• Work from home stipends: Upgrade your home office on us.
• Annual learning credit: Want to learn something new? We'll pay for it.

Morning Brew is committed to building a diverse and inclusive team that’s representative of our audience.
