WHAT YOU'LL DO:

Turn creator v1 edits into client ready cuts, acting as QA and brand guardian on every asset.

Run each edit through our shared QA tool before it goes to review, catching anything off brand or off spec early.

Own the revision cycle end to end, incorporating client feedback quickly and cleanly across multiple rounds.

Work closely with the Creative Lead and Producer to keep every cut aligned to brief and timeline.

Manage several concurrent edits at pace without losing craft or consistency.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING:

Strong experience editing social-first, creator-led content for brands.

A sharp eye for quality, brand consistency, pacing and detail.

Proven experience taking rough creator edits through to polished, client-ready cuts.

Confidence managing multiple rounds of feedback and revisions quickly and accurately.

Strong understanding of social platform formats, specs and best practices.

Experience working closely with creative and production teams to keep work on brief and on schedule.

Highly organised, with the ability to manage multiple edits and deadlines at once without compromising quality.

Comfortable working with QA and review tools and spotting issues before content reaches the client.

Highly client-facing, with proven experience managing social retainers and creator-led productions, and the flexibility to work across US hours when required.
