  • Own the revision and feedback cycle from the Director of Social Media and VP of Post Production, implementing changes with speed and precision.
  • Maintain the creative bar by constantly pushing your edits to be more dynamic, more engaging, and more reflective of the "Dude Perfect" brand identity.
Requirements
  • 3-4 years of proven experience editing high-impact social-first content for entertainment brands (YouTube, TikTok, or similar highly preferred).
  • Deep expertise in Adobe Premiere Pro for advanced editing, creating and editing with multi-cam sequences, color grading, and sound mixing.
  • Strong working knowledge of Adobe After Effects for motion graphics, VFX implementation, screen replacements, and other visual enhancements.
  • Demonstrated ability to effectively bring 16x9 content to a vertical 9x16 format, working through advanced editing timelines and ensuring cinematic quality is maintained.
  • A strong portfolio showcasing your ability to tell engaging stories quickly and apply social-specific editing techniques.
