GREENVILLE, SC
9/8 Central is looking for a Junior Video Editor who loves the craft of short-form social video and wants to keep pushing it forward.
You'll work across a mix of projects, from brand films to podcast content, but social is where you'll spend most of your time. You stay current on what's working on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. You watch things with intention. You think about why content holds attention, what makes a viewer stop scrolling, and how editing choices drive that. Then you bring that thinking into your work, not just your scroll.
You're early in your career but serious about the craft. You're coachable, organized, and excited to produce work that performs, not just work that looks good. You want to be around experienced editors, learn from them, and grow into more independent work over time.
If editing social content feels like the most interesting problem in the room, this role was built for you.
First, a little about you:
You're the kind of person who notices the details others miss. You care about pacing, storytelling, clean edits, and making every frame feel intentional. Whether you're organizing footage, tightening a sequence, or fine-tuning audio, you take pride in turning raw media into something polished.
You're genuinely curious about social. You follow what's working, experiment with format and pacing, and stay current on platform-specific trends because you actually find it interesting, not because someone asked you to. You know that editing for social is its own discipline, and you want to get good at it.
You're eager to learn and excited to grow. You enjoy collaborating with experienced editors, asking thoughtful questions, and applying feedback to become better with every project. You're organized enough to manage multiple edits at once, adaptable when priorities shift, and motivated by seeing a creative vision come to life.
Most importantly, you love the craft of editing. You're willing to put in the work, sharpen your skills, and become a dependable teammate others can count on.
If you find yourself nodding along, we want to hear from you.

Strong communication skills.
Clear, professional communication is a must. You ask thoughtful questions, collaborate well with producers and editors, and keep teammates informed throughout the editing process.
Details make the difference.
You notice the little things others might miss. Whether it's a jump cut, audio pop, typo in captions, or inconsistent graphics, you're committed to delivering polished work.
You work well under pressure.
Deadlines don't intimidate you. You can balance multiple projects, adapt to changing priorities, and maintain quality when timelines get tight.
