Vertical Short Form Video Editor + Creative PA

What You'll Own

Short-Form Vertical Editing (The Core of the Job)

• This is what you'll spend most of your time doing. Cut vertical short-form content for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts with fast, same-session turnaround. For every concept, you'll produce multiple versions —
• alternate hooks, different opening seconds, variant pacing, A/B cuts — so we can test what lands on each platform. You'll work directly with the creative lead to develop a shared editing language and
• style, then execute against it at volume. Expected pace: multiple finished cuts per day, refined in real time as feedback comes in. You should already have strong instincts for what makes vertical content
• work — pacing, hook structure, captioning, sound design, retention curves — and be eager to sharpen them in a brand environment.

Photo Editing & Capture

• Edit product and lifestyle photos using established looks — applying presets, copy/paste masking, and consistency editing across image sets. Capture supplementary product shots (multiple angles, details)
• when needed. Assist with lighting setup for photo work.

Creative Documentation & Database

• Build and maintain the systems that keep the creative process repeatable. Document lighting setups, camera settings, edit project structures, and audio configurations. Create reference sheets and
• templates so the team can pull established looks and edit styles quickly.

On-Set Production Assistance

• When shoots happen, be a reliable second set of hands. Operate cameras and audio equipment, run the audio interface, troubleshoot issues, and help keep the studios clean and ready. This is a smaller
• part of the role than the editing work, but you should be comfortable on set when you're needed there.

Scheduling & Coordination

• Keep the creative calendar updated and serve as the liaison between the Creative Lead and other departments. Coordinate product availability for shoots and keep things moving between spaces as
• needed.

You'll Excel If

You Live in Vertical Short-Form

• You watch a lot of TikTok, Reels, and Shorts — and you watch them like an editor. You can articulate why a hook works, where a cut should land, when to add a caption, and how to keep someone past the three-second drop-off. You stay current on what's working on each platform and bring those instincts to every cut.

You Edit Fast and Iterate Without Ego

• Same-session turnaround is the norm, not the exception. You take direction well, refine in real time, and don't get precious about cuts. You can produce ten variants of a reel without losing energy on the
• eleventh. You don't need a lot of oversight to produce good work — you just need clear direction.

You're Technically Proficient

• Premiere Pro and/or DaVinci Resolve at a level where you're not fighting the tool. CapCut familiarity is a plus. Lightroom or Photoshop for photo work. You know these tools well enough to work efficiently
• and teach yourself what you don't know yet.

You Build Systems, Not Just Files

• You're organized in a way that benefits the whole team — building documentation, project templates, and reference sheets. You think about how to make your work reusable and findable, especially when
• cutting many versions of the same content.

You're Production-Fluent (Enough)

• You don't need to be a DP, but cameras, audio interfaces, and lighting rigs shouldn't intimidate you. When you're on set, you troubleshoot and don't wait to be told what to do next.

You're a Strong Communicator

• You surface problems early, coordinate proactively, and keep people informed without being asked. Small teams move fast — good communication is what makes that work.

You're a Gear Person

• You don't need to be a professional musician, but genuine familiarity with guitar and pedals will make this job more natural and more fun. We speak fluent gear here.

What Comes With It

• • Employee and industry discounts. Build the rig you've been dreaming about at a discount.
• • Paid Time Off. Take the breaks you need to recharge and stay sharp. The longer you're here, the more PTO you get.
• • Healthcare benefits. Medical, dental, vision, and basic term life coverage.
• • Gym membership. Take care of yourself, and we'll take care of the bill.
• • Pedal Lending Library. Borrow from our library of JHS Pedals to play at home, experiment with sounds, use for gigs and studio sessions, or just feed your curiosity.
• • Coffee, tea, and snacks stocked. Fuel up when you need it.
• • Continuous learning support. We invest in your growth and skill development, both inside and outside of work.
• • Events worth showing up to. Release celebrations, happy hours, a holiday party we go all out for, and team outings that give us the opportunity to connect beyond work.
