Videographer and Editor Job at Jacob in New York

As Jacob's Videographer and Editor, you will be leading the creative direction and execution of all of our content.

• Story-driven, BTS content.
• UGC, social clips : Work closely with Brand, Content, Partnerships, and Growth to repurpose influencer content and generate UGC assets.
• Performance, conversion-driven content : Continuously test formats, hooks, edits, and tones, reviewing data with Growth to refine what converts.
• Cinematic production : Film high-quality, on-brand visuals that capture lifestyle, product, and brand footage for launches, BTS, and storytelling needs
• Edit fast andsmart : Rapidly turn around UGC-style videos, social clips, performance ads, and long-form content for Instagram, TikTok, Meta, and landing pages.
• Maintain a lean creative system : Organize raw footage, templates, music libraries, and project files for maximum efficiency and output.
• 3+ years of video editing experience in a brand, agency, or creator setting.
• Proficient in software editing.

• Deep understanding of social and paid video trends.
• Please write “34” at the top of your cover letter.
• A portfolio that shows range : storytelling, sales-driven, and viral instincts.
• Strong sense of brand (consistency, memorability, distinctiveness).
