JOB OVERVIEW

Short-Form Video Editor / 2D + 3D Animator (For Organic Social Media Content & Paid AD Creatives)

Read this whole post before you apply.

Scaliency is a growth marketing agency in Phoenix. We run paid ads, organic content, and full funnels for 25+ local service businesses and personal brands. We're hiring editors to clip, color and edit creatives + add sound effects — the kind of work that has to stop a scroll and drive a lead, not just look nice.

The bar

These are the editing standards we're hiring against. Watch them before you go any further:

If you can't produce work at that level, don't fill out the form. We're not looking for basic CapCut cuts, stock zoom-ins, or auto-captions slapped on a talking head. We're looking for editors who understand pacing, sound design, animation, retention, and how an ad is actually structured.

Non-negotiable requirements

You must be a 2D animator — motion graphics, kinetic type, animated icons, logo animation, UI/screen animation, character or illustration animation
You must have 3D Animation experience — 3D product renders, camera moves, environments, text and object animation (Blender, Cinema 4D, or equivalent)
A portfolio showing both 2D and 3D work at or above the level of the examples above

If you only edit, or only animate in 2D, we still encourage you to apply. We do however place emphasis on those who can take a concept from raw footage to a finished animated ad.

What you'll be doing:

- Editing short-form organic content + paid ad creative (Instagram Reels, Youtube Shorts, Youtube Videos, Tiktok videos).
- 2D motion graphics, 3D animation, text animation, sound design, and clean coloring of video (from Raw files)
- Working from briefs and/or scripts and iterating fast on feedback and performance data
- Cutting multiple variations of a winning concept for testing

What we're looking for:

- Fluency in Premiere and After Effects, plus Blender or Cinema 4D
- Fast turnaround without a drop in quality
- Someone who takes direction, communicates clearly, and hits deadlines

What we pay:

Market or Above Market Rate on a per video basis for editors who perform and demonstrate skill. We'd rather pay one great editor/animator well than manage five below-average editors. Rate depends on your portfolio, speed, and the scope of work you take on — bring your number and your portfolio.

How to apply:

Fill out the form and include a link to your portfolio with both 2D and 3D examples. Applications without a portfolio are deleted immediately. If your reel is all wedding videos, vlogs, or basic subtitle edits, this isn't the role for you.
