About The Position

At Neighbor, our vision is to bring communities together by solving our neighbors’ biggest challenges. We’re building the largest hyperlocal marketplace the world has seen. We’ve raised over $75 million from top-tier investors such as Andreessen Horowitz and the creators of DoorDash, Airbnb, and Uber. Our marketplace is already flourishing in all 50 states and we’re just getting started! Neighbor is seeking a highly skilled and creative Video Editor Contractor to transform user-generated content (UGC) and raw host footage into high-impact, scroll-stopping social advertisements for platforms like Meta and YouTube. This will be a project-based role. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced, iterative environment, crafting compelling, on-brand testimonial clips with a strong instinct for performance-driven creative content.

Requirements

• Proven experience as a video editor with a strong reel demonstrating exceptional UGC editing instincts (timing, trims, story, pacing).
• Fluency in professional editing software (Adobe Premiere Pro).
• Comfortable with high-volume versioning and rapid feedback cycles for direct response advertising.
• Strong instincts for mobile-readable on-screen text and solid understanding of visual composition and storytelling.

Responsibilities

• Performance-Driven Ad Creation: Edit raw UGC and host footage into high-impact, performance-ready social ads. Develop multiple cutdowns, hooks, and variants for rapid testing, ensuring your edits earn attention quickly (within 2–3 seconds) and follow a consistent structure: hook → proof → value → CTA.
• Mobile-First Optimization: Ensure all finished ads—including video, graphics, and text—are fully optimized for mobile screens with tight pacing, clear CTAs, and high readability.
• Efficient Post-Production & Review: Manage the full post-production workflow (color correction, sound balancing, on-screen text/subtitles, clean exports). Maintain an efficient, process-driven review cycle by actively managing uploads, versioning, and communications in Frame.io.
• Maintain Brand Voice: Ensure your work is Unmistakably Neighbor—helpful, human, and straightforward, avoiding hypey or corporate tones.
