Job description

Mocean is hiring a freelance Assistant Editor to support our Social team. This is an entry-level role built for someone early in their career who wants real reps cutting social campaigns for major studios and brands.
You'll work remotely on a contract basis, reporting to Senior Editors and the Creative Director. Day-to-day, you'll handle media management, organize project files, prep timelines for editors, cut versions and resizes from senior editors' masters, take light editing assignments of your own, and manage exports and deliveries to spec. The work moves fast and the specs are exacting. This is a role where being organized and being precise matter equally.
Responsibilities
  • Media management: ingest, organize, transcode, and maintain project files
  • Cut versions, resizes, and platform variants from approved masters
  • Take on light editing assignments as you grow into the role
  • Prepare exports and deliveries across social platform specs (vertical, square, horizontal, captioned, etc.)
  • Support senior editors and the creative team through the full project lifecycle

Requirements
  • Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro
  • Working knowledge of social platform specs and aspect ratios (IG, TikTok, YouTube, X, Meta placements)
  • Strong organizational habits and attention to detail
  • Ability to juggle multiple projects and hit fast turnarounds without dropping specs
  • Clear, proactive communication in a fully remote environment
  • After Effects experience is a plus, not required
  • Entry-level freelance role - recent grads and first-job candidates encouraged to apply

Salary Description
$20 to $23 per hour (freelance & fully remote)
