Job Description & How to Apply Below

We’re looking for a fast, fearless, and deeply creative Video & Content Editor who loves social media and gaming and has the fire in the belly to make a lot of content very well, very quickly. You’ll be the primary editor in a small social team, crafting native, thumb-stopping video for Tik Tok, Instagram Reels, You Tube Shorts, X/Twitter, Facebook, Twitch highlights, and more.

You combine elite editing craft with a marketer’s mindset: you care about retention graphs, watch time, and shares just as much as transitions and color grading. Alongside the Content, Insights & Planning Manager, you’ll be a key navigator for the Social Media Director, Community Manager, and Esports & Influencer Managers—helping them see what formats, hooks, and stories are truly working and what we should scale globally.

You treat attention as something you “day trade” every week: constantly cutting, testing, and iterating in response to what audiences are actually responding to.

What You’ll Own & Drive
  • High-volume, high-quality editing Edit a high volume of platform-native videos with speed and precision—multiple pieces per day/week—while maintaining a consistently high bar for quality and brand voice. Produce videos optimized for mobile-first, sound-on and sound-off viewing (9:16, 4:5, 1:1, etc.) with strong hooks in the first seconds, tight pacing, and clear storytelling. Rapidly turn live streams, gameplay, product reveals, sponsor moments, and creator collaborations into short-form highlights and longer-form cutdowns when needed.
  • Creative testing & data-informed iteration Partner closely with the Content, Insights & Planning Manager to test hooks, intros, formats, captions, and thumbnails; use performance data to decide which edits to scale, tweak, or kill. Treat analytics as creative feedback: you’re excited to change your edit style based on watch-time drop-offs, replay rates, or comment sentiment. Help the team build a culture of constant, low-friction experimentation rather than chasing one “perfect” hero asset.
  • Trend and culture-native storytelling Stay deeply plugged into gaming culture, memes, slang, platform-native humor, and niche sub-communities (competitive players, casual gamers, streamers, etc.) and reflect that fluently in your edits. Ensure we show up authentically on each platform and for each region—respecting local nuances while protecting the core Steel Series brand voice.
  • Systems, templates & speed for the whole team Curate and maintain a library of editable project files, templates, lower-thirds, color presets, motion graphics, SFX, and music beds that make it easier and faster for you and others to execute. Build repeatable systems and checklists that shorten production cycles and allow the team to scale content output without losing consistency. Collaborate with the broader social, creative, and influencer teams to define best practices for shooting, framing, and delivering footage so downstream edits are faster and cleaner.
  • Quality, compliance & organization Implement platform best practices for captions, on-screen text, motion graphics, and sound design to maximize view-through and engagement. Ensure all edits meet accessibility, copyright, and brand safety standards (e.g., captioning, subtitles, music licensing). Maintain clean project structure, version control, and documentation so other editors can easily pick up your work.
What We’re Looking For Experience & craft

Extensive experience editing social-first content for Tik Tok, Instagram Reels, You Tube Shorts, X/Twitter, Facebook, and similar platforms, with a portfolio that proves it. Deep proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro (or equivalent) and strong skills in After Effects/motion graphics, basic color correction, and audio mixing. Demonstrated ability to work fast at scale—delivering multiple strong edits per week without losing narrative clarity or brand consistency.

Experience with captioning, subtitles, sound design, and accessibility best practices across platforms.

Mindset & behaviors

You see yourself as a marketer-editor: you care about the numbers and the storytelling equally. A passion for making: your instinct is to open the…
