Role Summary
The Senior Social Editor serves as the project manager and creative lead for the in-house social clipping function.

The ideal candidate combines social-native creative judgment with operational rigor and team leadership.
Key Responsibilities

•    Provide specific, actionable feedback on cuts: timing, framing, moment selection, text overlay placement
•    Ensure clips meet social best practices across Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and X
•    Maintain quality parity or improvement vs. prior agency output
Project Management and Workflow
•    Receive and interpret briefs from Social Managers; translate into prioritized clip assignments
•    Manage the daily clip production queue across titles, brands, and cultural moments
•    Track volume targets and turnaround times; flag capacity constraints early
•    Develop and maintain SOPs for the AI-powered clipping workflow
•    Coordinate with publishing teams to ensure seamless asset handoff
AI Tool Operations
•    Operate the 1P AI clipping tool at an advanced level; serve as subject matter expert for the team
•    Identify tool optimization opportunities: prompt strategies and workflow shortcuts
•    Contribute to tool feedback loops with product and engineering teams
•    Produce clips directly as needed to cover volume spikes or complex briefs
Team Development
•    Onboard, train, and coach Social Editors on tool usage, social best practices, and quality standards
•    Establish clear rubrics for clip quality by platform
•    Run regular calibration sessions to maintain consistency across editors
Required Qualifications
•    2+ years in social media content creation, video editing, or social publishing
•    Demonstrated expertise in short-form video best practices across major platforms
•    Experience managing or mentoring junior creatives
•    Strong project management skills; proven ability to manage high-volume, fast-turnaround workflows
•    Proficiency with AI-powered creative tools: generative AI, automated editing, NLP-based tools
•    Deep understanding of social platform algorithms, engagement drivers, and content formats
•    Entertainment, media, or streaming content experience preferred
•    Mastery or Expertise of Premiere pro
