CrossFit is looking to hire a Social Media Editor contractor for six (6) months.
We are looking for a highly creative and skilled Social Media Video Editor Contractor to join our social media team to produce platform-optimized video content for our social media channels. You will be responsible for editing and adapting footage into engaging, dynamic short-form videos for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, X, and Facebook, supporting storytelling across the CrossFit ecosystem. In addition to organic content, this role will also be responsible for creating short-form assets tailored for paid social media advertising (e.g., Meta ads, YouTube pre-rolls, TikTok ads). While you won’t be running or monitoring the campaigns themselves, you’ll work closely with marketing stakeholders to design high-performing creative assets optimized for ad performance.

      Curate and repurpose existing footage (competition, training, interviews, community stories) into fresh, socially optimized edits.
      Maintain consistency in tone, style, and brand across all CrossFit verticals.
      Apply graphics, captions, sound design, and effects that elevate engagement.
      Keep a pulse on social trends and integrate timely, relevant storytelling.
      Balance fast turnaround times with high production value.
 
EDUCATION/EXPERIENCE:
      Bachelor’s degree in Film/Media Production, Communications, or a related field.
      2–4 years of experience editing short-form digital video for brands or media outlets.
      Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro (or similar NLEs); After Effects a plus.
      Deep knowledge of Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook Video formats.
Ability to distill stories quickly and creatively for social audiences.
      Strong sense of pacing, music selection, and narrative clarity.
      Comfort working in a fast-paced, deadline-driven, remote but collaborative environment.
