Role Objective
Smart Marketer Agency is seeking a creative and fast-paced Video Editor / Designer to join our specialized AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) team. In this role, you will take long-form videos, webinars, interviews, and podcasts and transform them into punchy, high-retention short-form assets for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and LinkedIn. The ideal candidate understands how to spot high-value soundbites, layer modern graphic/motion elements, and leverage AI workflow tools to maintain high output without compromising visual quality.

* Social Pacing & Hook Design: Cut with sharp pacing, visual hooks, clean transitions, motion text, B-roll overlays, and polished subtitle styling to hold viewer attention in the first 3 seconds.

* Motion Graphics & Brand Styling: Design titles, lower thirds, callouts, and animated typography that align cleanly with client visual identities and brand guidelines.

* Audio & Visual Polish: Perform audio cleanup, dialogue leveling, noise reduction, music balancing, and basic color grading across talking-head and dynamic clips.
AI Tool Integration: Incorporate AI tools (ElevenLabs, Descript, Firefly, Midjourney, CapCut AI) into your daily workflow for background removal, captioning, generative visual assets, and voice/audio enhancement.

* Workflow & Collaboration: Organize project files, follow creative briefs, incorporate feedback rapidly, and communicate asynchronously in Slack, ClickUp, and Frame.io.

Required Skills and Qualifications
* Editing Experience: 2+ years of professional video editing experience with a strong focus on short-form social video repurposing (Reels, TikTok, Shorts).

* Technical Suite: Strong proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, and CapCut. Familiarity with Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve is a plus.
Design Fundamentals: Solid grasp of typography, composition, visual hierarchy, motion text, and lower-third graphic creation.

* AI Workflow Mindset: Comfortable using and experimenting with modern AI creation tools (Descript, Runway, Midjourney, Firefly, CapCut AI) to boost output and efficiency.

* Agency Efficiency: Able to self-manage multiple video edits simultaneously, meet tight agency deadlines, and maintain structured file organization.
Communication: Good written and verbal communication skills; comfortable working remotely across cross-functional teams.
