• Integrate current trends, memes, and storytelling formats to boost reach and engagement.
• Adapt cuts for vertical, square, and horizontal formats, always with platform best practices in mind.
• Work collaboratively to implement feedback from cross-functional teams and quickly adapt to changing news cycles and polling results.
• Lend your creative talents to design brainstorms and creative concept ideation to help bring to life beautiful and compelling creative for a wide array of audiences.
• Lead rapid-response projects with quick turnarounds.

Qualifications

• 5+ years editing for digital and social (political, advocacy, news, or entertainment).
