Senior Short Form Video Editor Jobs in Decatur, GA

About RNDA

Rare Necessity Digital Agency is a full-service digital marketing agency that builds and launches campaigns for coaches, consultants, e-commerce brands, and local businesses. We operate in pods with dedicated specialists, and our production department is the backbone of every launch. Every ad, VSL, podcast episode, reel, and campaign asset runs through our editors before it reaches the world.

The Role

As a Video Editor at RNDA, you are part of the production department and work across multiple pods and clients. You take raw footage, voice-overs, screen recordings, and creative briefs and turn them into polished deliverables on deadline. You are not waiting for someone to hand you a timeline and tell you where to cut. You watch the content, understand the strategy behind it, and make creative decisions that elevate the final product.

Speed and quality are not trade-offs here. Clients are in active launches with hard deadlines, and the production calendar does not pause. You need to be fast, organized, and able to manage multiple projects across different clients simultaneously.

What You Own

• Edit and deliver video content across all formats: VSLs (Video Sales Letters), podcast episodes, social reels, ad creatives, course modules, webinar recordings, and event recap videos
• Follow brand guidelines, templates, and creative direction for each client while maintaining RNDA production standards
• Add motion graphics, lower thirds, text overlays, transitions, sound design, and color correction as needed
• Manage your editing queue in ClickUp, update task statuses daily, and hit every deadline
• Communicate proactively with the Production Manager and Production Coordinator on capacity, blockers, and revision status
• Incorporate client and internal feedback quickly, typically within 24 hours for standard revisions
• Organize and maintain project files, raw footage, and final exports in a clean, accessible folder structure
• Export deliverables in the correct specs for each platform (Meta, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, website embeds)
• Flag missing assets, unclear briefs, or unrealistic timelines before they become problems
• Stay current on editing trends, platform specs, and new tools (CapCut, AI-assisted editing, etc.)
