This is not a traditional editing role. The ideal candidate lives on social media, understands platform culture intuitively, and can independently identify the strongest moments from long-form content without needing clip-by-clip direction. You should know how to create edits that feel native to the feed — with strong hooks, pacing, captions, sounds, transitions, and storytelling designed specifically for short-form attention spans. The right person moves quickly, stays ahead of trends, exercises strong editorial judgment, and consistently delivers high-performing content at volume. What You'll Own Edit TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts with platform-native pacing and style Review long-form source material and independently identify strong editorial and viral moments Add captions, music, hooks, text overlays, sound effects, and transitions aligned with current platform trends Repurpose and remix existing content into multiple short-form formats Deliver 10–12 high-quality clips per week while managing multiple deadlines simultaneously Produce same-day mobile edits for time-sensitive content when required Use AI-assisted editing tools to accelerate workflow without compromising quality Propose edit concepts, trends, and content formats aligned with brand strategy and social culture Workflow & Collaboration Receive content direction from the Marketing Coordinator and visual direction from Andrea Submit edits through Frame.io for internal and client review Apply feedback quickly and iterate efficiently Collaborate with the broader creative and production team to maintain delivery timelines Share ongoing trend insights, platform learnings, and editing observations with the team What We Need From You Minimum 2 years of experience editing short-form social content for TikTok, Reels, or Shorts Deep understanding of TikTok culture, trends, creator formats, and platform-native editing logic Strong independent editorial judgment — able to identify compelling moments without heavy direction Experience editing founder-led, personal brand, or thought-leadership content Proficiency in CapCut, Premiere Pro, or equivalent editing tools Ability to operate quickly while maintaining strong creative quality Familiarity with AI-powered editing workflows and automation tools Spanish fluency is a plus Who Thrives Here This role is best suited for someone who: Lives online and understands internet culture intuitively Thinks like both an editor and a content strategist Moves quickly without sacrificing quality Takes initiative instead of waiting for detailed instructions Constantly studies trends, creators, hooks, and platform behavior Enjoys fast-paced, high-volume creative environments About Us Trolley is a fast-growing creative operations company delivering high-impact digital and marketing solutions for high-profile clients.
