Short-form Video Editor

LB Capital is hiring a  high-level Short-Form Video Editor  who understands that content isn’t just about looking good, it’s about  driving results .

If you know how to engineer viral moments, structure edits for watch time, and think in terms of  engagement metrics, not just aesthetics , this role is for you.

• Finish content in Adobe Premiere Pro with  clean, polished, professional execution

• You can adjust based on performance data and feedback

High Standards & Attention to Detail

• Clean captions, proper formatting, safe zones, and audio balance are non-negotiable

• You care about the final product like it represents your personal brand

What Success Looks Like in This Role

• Content consistently hits strong  engagement and retention benchmarks

• Output is both  high-quality and high-volume

• You become a key driver of LB Capital’s  social growth and brand presence
