Job description

LB Capital is hiring a high-level Short-Form Video Editor who understands that content isn't just about looking good, it's about driving results.

We're looking for someone who can consistently produce content that captures attention, increases retention, and performs across platforms. If you know how to engineer viral moments, structure edits for watch time, and think in terms of engagement metrics, not just aesthetics, this role is for you.

This is not an entry-level editing role. We're looking for someone who can own the outcome, not just the process.

What You'll Be Responsible For

Turning Content Into Performance Assets

  • Break down long-form content into high-performing short-form videos for TikTok, Instagram Reels, Facebook, and YouTube Shorts
  • Identify and extract moments with the highest potential for virality, engagement, and conversion

Hook + Retention Engineering

  • Design scroll-stopping hooks within the first 1-3 seconds
  • Structure edits to maximize watch time, completion rate, and replays

High-Level Creative Execution

  • Add captions, b-roll, motion graphics, and sound design with intent not just decoration
  • Edit with a clear understanding of what keeps viewers watching vs. what loses them

Speed + Quality Workflow

  • Use OpusClip (or similar tools) to rapidly identify strong clips and create rough cuts
  • Finish content in Adobe Premiere Pro with clean, polished, professional execution

Trend & Platform Intelligence

  • Stay ahead of trends, formats, and platform shifts
  • Adapt content quickly to what's currently working not what worked last month

What We're Looking For

Proven Results (Not Just Experience)

  • You've created content that performs (high views, engagement, retention not just "looks good")
  • Strong portfolio showing winning short-form content

Advanced Editing Skills

  • Expert in Adobe Premiere Pro
  • Comfortable using AI tools like OpusClip to increase output and efficiency

Deep Understanding of Social Media

  • You understand algorithms, retention curves, hooks, and pacing
  • You think in terms of performance metrics, not just visuals

Creative + Analytical Mindset

  • You know why a video works, and can repeat that success
  • You can adjust based on performance data and feedback

High Standards & Attention to Detail

  • Clean captions, proper formatting, safe zones, and audio balance are non-negotiable
  • You care about the final product like it represents your personal brand

What Success Looks Like in This Role

  • Content consistently hits strong engagement and retention benchmarks
  • Output is both high-quality and high-volume
  • You become a key driver of LB Capital's social growth and brand presence

Why Join LB Capital?

  • Work directly with a team focused on growth, performance, and results
  • Your work will have real visibility and measurable impact
  • Opportunity to grow into a lead creative role as we scale

Benefits:

  • 401(k)
  • Dental insurance
  • Health insurance
  • Paid time off
  • Professional development assistance
  • Referral program
  • Vision insurance

Work Location: In person

$40,000 - $55,000 a year
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
