Job Title: Social Content Editor (Executive Communications)

Location

New York, NY or Washington, DC (preferred)

Schedule

Full-time, 40 hours per week with flexibility. Hours may vary based on real-time content needs, including occasional early mornings, evenings, or weekend support.

About the Role

We are hiring a highly skilled, fast-paced Social Content Editor to produce high-quality, platform-native content for a high-visibility executive social presence. This role is focused heavily on post-production—taking raw footage from live events, interviews, and day-to-day moments and turning it into compelling, polished content in real time.

You will partner closely with a dedicated content capture lead and a broader content team, serving as the primary editor responsible for delivering timely, engaging social assets. This is a great opportunity for an editor who thrives in a fast-moving environment and enjoys working on content tied to real-world moments and high-profile settings.

Key Responsibilities

• Edit short-form social content including interviews, talking heads, event recaps, and highlight reels
• Turn around raw footage quickly into polished, share-ready content
• Optimize video edits for performance across LinkedIn, Instagram Reels, Facebook, Threads, and YouTube
• Produce both vertical and horizontal formats depending on platform and use case
• Add text overlays, captions, basic motion graphics, and visual treatments to enhance storytelling
• Collaborate closely with content capture partners and stakeholders to align on creative direction
• Maintain high editorial standards while working under tight deadlines and shifting priorities
• Contribute ideas to improve content formats, pacing, and overall social performance

Required Qualifications

• 3–6+ years of experience in video editing with a strong focus on social and short-form content
• Expert proficiency in CapCut and Adobe Premiere Pro (or similar tools)
• Strong experience editing interview-style, broadcast-style, or public-facing content
• Deep understanding of platform-native editing styles and trends across major social platforms
• Ability to work independently and manage projects from raw footage to final delivery
• Strong editorial instincts with a focus on clarity, pacing, and storytelling
• Experience operating in fast-paced environments with real-time content demands
• Professional demeanor and ability to work in high-visibility, executive-facing environments
• Flexibility to accommodate non-traditional working hours when needed

Preferred Background

• Experience in broadcast media, entertainment, news, or content supporting public figures
• Familiarity with editing content tied to live events or on-the-ground coverage
• Basic motion graphics or design skills for social content enhancement
• Experience working in environments that require discretion and sound judgment

What We’re Looking For

• A fast, detail-oriented editor who can produce clean, compelling content quickly
• Someone who communicates clearly and concisely and stays focused in high-pressure situations
• A professional who is comfortable supporting high-profile, high-visibility content
• A collaborative team player who can work seamlessly with both production and strategy partners
• An editor with a polished, non-partisan, and professional content sensibility

Work Environment

This is a lean, fast-moving, and highly collaborative environment where content is created and delivered in real time. The role is primarily desk-based, with occasional travel, and requires adaptability to shifting schedules and priorities.

Why This Role

This is a unique opportunity to work on high-impact content that reaches broad audiences in real time. You’ll play a key role in shaping how executive-level storytelling shows up across major platforms, with the autonomy to bring strong editorial judgment and creative thinking to every piece of content.
