About The Position

We're looking for a fast, resourceful, and editorially sharp Social Content Editor to support social media content for a high level leader. This role is all about speed, polish, and storytelling — turning raw footage into compelling, platform-native content across major social platforms. You'll work closely with leadership and cross-functional partners in a fast-paced, high-trust environment. You should be just as comfortable editing a sizzle reel on your phone between meetings as you are crafting a polished edit at your desk. Minimal producer support means you need to be self-sufficient, proactive, and adaptable. This role skews heavily toward post-production and editorial craft, though baseline capture skills are expected. The content playbook will evolve as the executive's social presence matures — you should be energized by that ambiguity, not daunted by it.

Requirements

5-7 years of experience in social content editing, with a strong portfolio of fast-turnaround, polished short-form work
Expert-level proficiency in mobile editing tools (e.g., CapCut, InShot, Adobe Rush, or similar) and desktop software (e.g., Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro)
Ability to capture usable footage on a smartphone when needed
Experience supporting executive communications, political communications, or public affairs content
Strong business acumen and interpersonal skills; comfortable working with leaders
Sharp editorial eye for pacing, storytelling, tone, and platform-native style
Familiarity with basic graphic design and motion graphics; animation is a plus
Self-starter mentality with the ability to manage your own workflow
Neutral, professional tone across all content

Nice To Haves

Experience in political media, influencer content, or public-figure social strategy
Experience with animation or advanced motion graphics
Knowledge of major social platforms and content best practices

Responsibilities

Edit short-form social content including sizzle reels, talking heads, interviews, and event recaps

Create light motion graphics, text overlays, and visual treatments to elevate content
Design and produce simple graphic content (quote cards, branded templates, visual assets)
Maintain fast turnaround without sacrificing quality or editorial judgment
Collaborate directly with executives and stakeholders with professionalism and discretion
Evolve the content playbook over time as the executive’s channel and audience grow
