About Sun & Sol Co.
Sun & Sol Co. is a digital marketing agency that illuminates impact brands and leaders through thoughtful storytelling, elevated strategy, and purpose-driven creativity. We work with clients across wellness, sustainability, and lifestyle to bring their missions to life through community, culture, and content.
We’re looking for a Video Editor who lives and breathes short-form, someone with a sharp sense of pacing, visual impact, and storytelling who can turn raw footage and brand assets into scroll-stopping content. This role is ideal for an editor who understands how a great Reel or TikTok actually performs and who takes pride in clean, fast, on-brand work.
Role Overview
This contract role focuses on shaping large volumes of raw footage into social-friendly pieces that still tell a story, primarily for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. You’ll work closely with our social and creative teams to translate content calendars, brand guidelines, and hours of raw material into polished, platform-native videos that feel native to each channel without losing the narrative.
This is a hands-on, craft-focused role for someone who is highly organized, deadline-driven, and tuned into the visual and audio language of social video. You’ll take direction from social and creative leads while bringing your own editorial instincts to elevate every cut.

- Add sound design, audio, and color grading where necessary with a clean, on-brand finish.
- Ensure every edit meets platform specs, brand voice, and visual standards.
- Optimize pacing, hooks, and structure to maximize retention and engagement.
Trends & Optimization
- Stay current on short-form trends, formats, audio, and editing styles across platforms.
- Contribute editing ideas and creative treatments informed by what’s performing.
- Flag opportunities to repurpose or re-cut content for additional channels.
What We’re Looking For
- 2–4 years of video editing experience, ideally for social or short-form content.
- Strong proficiency in professional editing software such as Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve (After Effects a plus).
- A proven eye for pacing, hooks, captions, and sound design that perform on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.
- Strong understanding of platform specs, aspect ratios, and export settings.
- Highly organized with strong file management and the ability to juggle multiple accounts and deadlines.
- Comfortable taking direction and incorporating feedback while bringing your own creative instincts.
- A reliable, proactive, deadline-driven mindset.
- Passion for wellness, sustainability, culture, and impact-driven storytelling.
Bonus Points If You
- Light motion graphics or animation skills.
- Experience with color grading and audio mixing.
- Background cutting documentary, hero, or feature-length footage into snackable, short-form pieces.
