• Viral Nation is seeking a precise, platform-fluent Video Optimization Editor to join our Studio team. This is not a conceptual or campaign-originating role — it’s an execution-focused position built around one core task: taking existing influencer and creator content and optimizing it to be acutely aligned with platform readiness and brand-specified criteria.
• Receive raw influencer and creator video content, as well as existing cuts and reformat it to meet a designated set of brand criteria as well as platform-specific technical requirements across Meta, Tik Tok, You Tube.
• Recut and crop assets to varying aspect ratios (9:16, 4:5, 1:1) — by scratch when working with raw footage, and via tactics like letter boxing or pillar boxing with existing cuts.
• Ensure brand logos and visual identifiers appear within the first 1–2 seconds of every video asset.
• Add, retime, or replace text supers and captions so content is fully legible without audio — optimized for sound-off environments.
• Verify all text and graphic elements fall within platform-safe and brand-designated content zones, avoiding UI overlap areas on every placement.
• Trim video length to match platform-optimal durations per placement type (e.g., feed vs. stories vs. in-stream).
• Audit audio tracks and ensure active sound elements are present and appropriately mixed.
• Run pre-submission quality checks against a defined checklist before any asset is delivered for posting.
• Manage simultaneous asset versions across multiple brands, platforms, and markets with consistent output quality.
• Flag content that cannot be made compliant without reshooting or creator re-submission, and communicate that clearly to project leads.

• 2–5 years of video editing and optimization experience, with a significant portion in social-first or digital advertising contexts.
• Deep working knowledge of platform specs and UI behaviour across Meta (Feed, Stories, Reels), Tik Tok, and You Tube Shorts.
• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro;
  After Effects a strong plus for motion supers and text animation.
• Demonstrated ability to work against technical compliance checklists, not just creative direction.
• Strong understanding of caption and subtitle workflows (SRT, burned-in captions, auto-caption correction).
• Ability to manage a high volume of assets simultaneously without sacrificing accuracy.
• Comfort receiving structured feedback and iterating quickly — this role operates in a review-and-revise workflow, not a solo creative one.

• Experience working within a brand compliance or creative quality framework at an agency or CPG brand.
• Familiarity with dynamic ad formats or DCO (Dynamic Creative Optimization) asset structures.
• Basic motion design skills for creating or adjusting lower-thirds and supers natively.
• Experience working with creator-generated content specifically (as opposed to studio-produced footage).

This role has an annual salary range of $70,000 to $80,000
