Video Editor (Contract)

SHADOW

New York, NY • On-site

$450 - $600/day

Full-time

This job post has expired today. Applications are no longer accepted.

Key responsibilities

  • Edit high-quality short- and long-form videos for various social media platforms including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and paid social campaigns.

  • Turn edits around quickly on reactive, trend-led, and time-sensitive content while maintaining quality.

  • Own the full post-production workflow in Premiere Pro, including media management, sound mixing, color correction, captions, and exports.

Job description

SHADOW is seeking a mid-level Social Video Editor to join us on a freelance contract basis and help turn raw footage into scroll-stopping content across TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube, and paid social. You'll own edits end to end, from assembly to final delivery, often working at the fast pace that social demands. This is a hands-on role for someone who truly understands short-form and what makes people stop scrolling, and who is comfortable jumping between a fast reactive trend edit at the start of the day and a structured narrative piece in the afternoon.

You'll work closely with our creative, strategy, and social teams to take briefs from concept to delivery, and you'll have input into how each piece is cut, paced, and finished.

This starts as a 3-month freelance contract, with a full-time day rate of $450-$600/day depending on experience. Based on your performance during the contract window and the continuation of work, this has potential to extend beyond the 3-months or become a full-time position.

What you'll do
  • Edit high-quality short- and long-form video for TikTok, Instagram, YouTube (Shorts and long-form), and paid social campaigns.
  • Turn edits around quickly on reactive, trend-led, and time-sensitive content without compromising quality.
  • Craft clear narrative and pacing: strong hooks, tight storytelling, and retention-focused structure built for each platform.
  • Design and animate motion graphics, kinetic typography, lower-thirds, and light VFX to lift each edit.
  • Cut performance creative for paid social: hook variations, UGC-style ads, and versions built for testing.
  • Own the full post-production workflow in Premiere Pro (media management, project organisation, sound mixing, colour, captions, and clean exports to spec).
  • Repurpose and reformat hero content into platform-native cutdowns across aspect ratios.
  • Incorporate feedback efficiently across review rounds and deliver on deadline.
  • Keep assets, projects, and file naming organized and easy to hand off.
What we're looking for
  • 2-4 years editing social-first video, with a portfolio or reel that shows range across platforms.
  • Advanced Premiere Pro skills and a solid, self-sufficient post-production workflow.
  • Strong motion graphics ability (After Effects proficiency preferred).
  • A genuine feel for TikTok, Reels, and YouTube: you understand platform trends, formats, and what earns attention.
  • Proven ability to work fast on reactive content while keeping edits polished.
  • A storyteller's instinct for pacing, hooks, and emotional beats.
  • Comfortable editing for paid social and an understanding of hook-led, test-driven performance creative.
  • Solid grasp of sound design, music selection, captioning, and export specs.
  • Self-directed, reliable, and easy to collaborate with remotely.
Nice to have
  • Familiarity with DaVinci Resolve for color, or the wider Adobe Creative Cloud suite.
  • Sound design and audio-mixing abilities.
  • Experience working with brands, agencies, or in-house social teams.
  • An eye for design (typography, layout, colour).
How to apply
