Job description

Collier.Simon is an independent, full-service creative agency in Los Angeles. We work with our client partners to develop creative solutions that truly move the needle. Clients range from Fortune 500-type household names to up-and-comers across a variety of industries / verticals. We’re in the midst of a tech-powered transformation, using AI to supercharge creativity, not replace it, and we’re looking for curious minds excited to explore AI as a tool to scale, spark, and speed up creativity.

We are looking for freelance Video Editors with varying experience with video editing and motion design for social and digital advertising. We want someone  who’s excited to craft content that lives and thrives in today’s media landscape—especially short-form, digital-first formats that move quickly, look great, and feel relevant. You’ll be joining a collaborative, fast-paced team where taste, craft, and curiosity around AI tools are essential to how we create at scale.

What You Bring
  • At least 1-2 years professional experience editing and animating content for brands, agencies, or content studios
     
  • Strong command of Adobe Premiere and After Effects; comfortable crafting video narratives from raw assets to final delivery
     
  • Must be able to work from Figma
     
  • Deep understanding of motion design principles, visual rhythm, and how to tell stories through kinetic type, transitions, and effects
     
  • Demonstrated experience editing content for social media, paid digital, and branded video (sizzle reels, UGC-style edits, motion graphics, etc.)
     
  • A strong creative eye—even if you’re not a designer, you know what looks good and feels modern
     
  • Ability to work quickly, juggle multiple edits, understand constructive feedback and stay organized under pressure
     
  • Experience collaborating with producers, art directors, and copywriters in a fast-turn creative environment
     
  • Comfort working in cloud-based, remote workflows (Google Drive, Frame.io, Slack, Wrike)
     
What You'll Do
  • Edit high-quality video content for a range of formats, including social cutdowns, product videos, performance ads, sizzles, UGC remixes, and digital launches
     
  • Apply motion graphics, transitions, and dynamic design to elevate storytelling and visual appeal
     
  • Interpret creative briefs and scripts and work closely with strategy, creative, and production teams from kickoff to delivery
     
  • Manage multiple video deliverables simultaneously, maintaining attention to detail and version control
     
  • Localize or adapt content for multi-location or store-level executions, working efficiently across variants
     
  • Use AI tools (when applicable) to enhance speed, inspiration, or output—without compromising creative integrity
     
  • Actively participate in brainstorms, workflow planning, and collaborative problem-solving sessions
Bonus Points If You...
  • Have worked on retail, CPG, or multi-market campaigns with many moving pieces and deliverables
     
  • Are comfortable creating templates or frameworks for scalable video output
     
  • Have a background in design, art direction, or videography
     
  • Are interested in shaping the agency’s evolving video + AI workflow standards

This is a remote position. We prefer Los Angeles candidates but are open to those who are open to working PST hours.

Please submit your portfolio and a brief note describing your agency experience.
