  • Hands-on experience using AI-powered creative tools, including automated editing and NLP-based tools
  • Strong editorial judgment and the ability to make thoughtful decisions about what to cut and how to cut it
  • Solid understanding of social platform engagement drivers and content formats
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to give constructive feedback
Preferred Skills
  • Experience in entertainment, media, or streaming content
  • Advanced proficiency with Adobe Premiere Pro
