Job description

About the UGC Video Editor
We're looking for a video editor who lives and breathes UGC - the raw, authentic, thumb-stopping style that outperforms polished ads on social feeds. You'll take creator-shot and customer-submitted footage (talking-head clips, unboxings, testimonials, day-in-the-life content) and cut it into scroll-stopping, native-feeling videos for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. This isn't about making things look "produced" - it's about knowing exactly how much (or how little) polish keeps content feeling real while still driving engagement and conversion.
This is a part time role based in the US in any of the following states: California, Colorado, Minnesota, Texas.
What You'll Do
  • Edit raw UGC/creator footage (talking-head, testimonial, unboxing, demo, and lifestyle-style clips) into fast-paced, native-feeling short-form videos
  • Add on-trend captions, text overlays, hooks, and sound design that match current platform formats (not corporate/ad-style editing)
  • Build strong hooks in the first 1-3 seconds to stop the scroll
  • Cut multiple variations/hooks from the same raw footage for A/B testing ad creative
  • Stay current on UGC and short-form trends, sounds, transitions, and formats across TikTok, Reels, and Shorts
  • Collaborate with the content/marketing/paid social team on briefs, creator footage selection, and performance feedback
  • Organize and manage a library of raw creator footage, hooks, captions templates, and trending audio
  • Turn around quick edits and iterate fast based on performance data or feedback

What We're Looking For
  • 1-3+ years editing UGC, creator, or influencer-style content specifically (not just traditional/branded video) - portfolio or reel required, UGC samples strongly preferred
  • Strong proficiency in CapCut and/or Adobe Premiere Pro
  • A sharp instinct for what makes UGC feel authentic vs. overproduced - pacing, captions, hooks, and sound that match platform-native norms
  • Familiarity with performance-driven editing (hook variations, A/B testing creative, editing to metrics/retention)
  • Ability to work independently, prioritize, and hit fast turnaround times
  • Strong communication skills and comfort taking/receiving feedback
  • Bonus: experience editing UGC for paid social/ad creative, basic motion graphics, or on-camera creator experience yourself

Details
  • Hours: Flexible, approximately 20-25 hours/week
  • Compensation: $30-40/hr DOE

To Apply
Please send a resume and a link to your reel or 2-3 sample UGC edits (please include at least one example of raw footage vs. final edit if possible)
Department Post Production Locations Austin, Denver, Minneapolis Remote status Hybrid
