Vertical Short Form Video Editor + Creative PA

The Staff Editor + PA Assist is the editor behind JHS Pedals' short-form social presence. This role lives in the edit bay, turning raw footage into vertical content built for Tik Tok, Instagram Reels, and You Tube Shorts — fast, iterative, and platform-native. You'll work hand-in-hand with the creative lead to develop our short-form voice, cut multiple versions of every reel, and keep up with the pace social media demands.

Secondary responsibilities include on-set production assistance, photo editing, and the documentation systems that keep the creative process repeatable.

We're JHS Pedals - a guitar-effects company built on a love of tone, storytelling, and craft. We make pedals that inspire creativity, spark curiosity, and make playing music more fun. Whether someone is picking up a guitar for the first time or touring the world, we're here to build tools that help you find your sound.

We've built a reputation for being human-first witha deep respect for guitar history. Musicians around the globe trust our pedals on their boards, in their studios, and on their stages. But we're more than just products - we're known for our educational content and our commitment to demystifying effects, amps, and the stories behind the gear.

We're based in South Kansas City, with a passionate team of around 45 people united by a shared mission: building pedals that don't just shape sound - they shape creativity and experience.

• This is what you'll spend most of your time doing. Cut vertical short-form content for Tik Tok, 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 ected 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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 watch a lot of Tik Tok, 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…
