JOB OVERVIEW

ABOUT THE ROLE

We sell pet products across several brands on Amazon, Chewy, Shopify, TikTok Shop, Walmart, and through retail partners. We are looking for an inventive, trend-savvy short-form video editor to create scroll-stopping, high-converting video for all of our brands.

You will turn raw phone footage from our in-house team and content creators into organic TikToks and Reels, product videos for Amazon, Chewy, and TikTok Shop, and paid social and Amazon Sponsored Brands video ads.

You won’t just be cutting clips together. You will add creative flair, dynamic masking, kinetic transitions, and sound design to make simple clips feel clever and fun. You should be fluent in TikTok and IG culture, native trend formats, and creative visual editing tricks.

We work AI-first. You should already use AI features in your editing tools (for example, DaVinci Resolve Magic Mask or CapCut auto cutout) to work faster without lowering quality.

Pay: USD 1,500 to 2,000 per month, depending on experience
Schedule: [fill in, e.g. US Pacific Time business hours]
Reports to: Creative Director. You will work day to day with our Social Media Manager and other marketing managers.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

Organic Social Video (about 20 hours per week)

Edit 9:16 vertical videos for TikTok and Instagram Reels using raw footage from our in-house social team and content creators.
Apply creative visual effects, including dynamic rotoscoping and masking (sticker peel effects, freeze-frame cutouts, object pop-ins), seamless jump cuts, disappearing and appearing object tricks, match cuts, native collage, paper tear, 2D sticker animations, and seamless loops built for replay value.
Time cuts, transitions, text animations, and effects precisely to the beat of the music.
Design on-screen text with a refined eye: choose and pair fonts, set clear hierarchy and spacing, keep text within platform safe zones, and animate it so it looks polished and premium, not template-based.
Add trending audio licensed for business accounts, sound effects, animated captions, and platform-native text styles.
Bring your own ideas for hooks, pacing, and trend formats instead of only assembling footage.

Marketplace Video (about 10 hours per week)

Create product videos for Amazon (listing and A+ Content), Chewy, and other channels.
Adapt content to each platform’s formats, including 16:9, 1:1, and 9:16.
Follow each retailer’s content guidelines, with clear product benefits and demonstrations.

Paid Ads (about 15 hours per week)

Edit video ads for Meta, TikTok, and Amazon Sponsored Brands.
Produce multiple hook and format variations of each concept for testing.

AI Workflow

Use AI tools throughout your workflow to speed up turnaround, such as AI masking and rotoscoping, auto captions, beat detection, and rough cut assembly, while keeping full creative control of the final edit.
Generate and edit video and visual assets with AI tools such as Seedance, Higgsfield, and Claude, and blend them with live footage.

Across All Work

Manage a steady weekly queue of requests from the Creative Director, Social Media Manager, and marketing managers.
Keep project files organized and deliver final exports in the correct specs for each platform.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

A portfolio of TikTok and Reels edits with creative transitions, masking, and visual tricks. Talking-head videos with subtitles will not be considered.
A precise sense of rhythm. Your edits land on the beat, not near it.
Strong typography and design sense, including font pairing, hierarchy, spacing, color contrast, and adapting text style to different brand identities.

Required

Working proficiency in both CapCut and DaVinci Resolve. Our team uses both for project handoffs.
Advanced motion graphics and effects skills in at least one professional tool, such as After Effects, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve (Fusion), or CapCut Pro.
Hands-on experience with AI video tools such as Seedance, Higgsfield, or similar.
A strong ear for sound design and audio syncing.
Deep familiarity with current TikTok and Reels trends and humor formats.
Fluent written and spoken English for daily work with a US-based team.
Ability to manage a full weekly queue and meet turnaround times.

Nice to Have

Experience creating product videos for Amazon, Chewy, or TikTok Shop.
Experience editing paid social or Amazon Sponsored Brands video ads.
Ecommerce or consumer products experience.

HOW TO APPLY

Send your application through OLJ with:

Links to 3 to 5 short-form videos you edited that show creative transitions, rotoscoping or masking tricks, or seamless loops. At least one must show beat-synced editing, and at least one must show custom on-screen typography. For each link, add one sentence naming the effect or technique you built, the software you used, and whether it shows beat-syncing or typography.
Any product, marketplace, or ad videos you have edited, if available.
Your main editing and motion graphics software, the AI tools you use, and one example of how AI shortened your turnaround on a specific video.
Your current availability and typical turnaround time per video.
Start your message with the words “ON THE BEAT” so we know you read the full post.

Make sure all links are set to public. Applications that skip any of these will not be reviewed.
