We’re looking for a Social-First, Short-Form Video Editor to help us create polished, effective social media video content for green industry brands (landscaping, lawn care, tree service, pest control).

This is a contract role for an editor who can repurpose longer-form content into short-form vertical videos and also create original short-form assets from a bank of existing footage. You’ll work from a creative brief and script direction provided by a Creative Director.

The ideal candidate understands how to make content feel native to social media while still maintaining a professional, brand-appropriate look for the green industry.

Responsibilities

• Repurpose long-form content into engaging short-form vertical videos
• Create new short-form videos from a bank of existing footage
• Follow creative briefs, script direction, and brand guidance to produce finished assets
• Edit primarily for Instagram and Facebook Reels and LinkedIn vertical video
• Produce videos in the 30–60 second range
• Add background music, animated on-screen captions, motion text effects, and light motion graphics
• Use tasteful, modern transitions that feel social-media-forward while remaining appropriate for landscaping and green industry brands
• Organize footage, project files, and deliverables efficiently
• Deliver final assets accurately and on time
• Handle revisions as requested by the Creative Director or the client

Qualifications

• English as a primary language and based in the United States

• 2+ experience editing short-form social media video content

• Strong understanding of pacing, hooks, retention, and platform-friendly editing

• Experience editing both talking-head content and caption-style social videos

• Proficiency in DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, or an equivalent professional NLE

• Comfortable using AI tools and workflows, including platforms such as Descript and ChatGPT

• Strong attention to detail and a high level of organization

• Ability to consistently meet deadlines and manage deliverables across multiple client accounts

• Ability to take direction well and execute creative concepts without heavy oversight

Preferred Experience

• Agency or marketing experience is a plus

• Experience managing edits across multiple brands or client accounts is a plus

• Green Industry Knowledge

• A working understanding of the green industry is REQUIRED. This person should be familiar with basic service and equipment terminology and be able to recognize the difference between common offerings in the space.

For example, they should understand the difference between:

• an aerator and a mower

• liquid fertilizer treatments and pest control treatments

• the types of visuals, messaging, and tone that fit landscaping, lawn care, and outdoor living brands

Work Volume and Compensation

• This is an ongoing contract role

• Compensation is $75 per reel (including revisions)

• Most videos will fall within the 30–60 second range

• We typically produce 2–4 videos per month per client across 8–10 active clients, so there is steady volume for the right person

Application Process

Applicants should submit a portfolio of relevant short-form video work. Final candidates may also be asked to complete a test assignment before hiring.
