Senior Video Editor – Lead Creative & Mentorship Social

Job Position(s): Senior Video Editor - Lead Creative & Mentorship Social

Publicis Groupe is hiring a Senior Video Editor, Lead Creative and Mentorship for Social, based in New York, New York. This role sits inside Razorfish’s social content post-production workflow, where the editor owns the cut on high-volume deliverables across TikTok, Instagram Reels, X, and YouTube Shorts. It suits an editor who has moved beyond just cutting and is ready to set the editorial standard for a team while staying genuinely tuned in to where platform culture is heading.

About the Role

You’ll be the senior editorial voice inside a social-first production pipeline, working directly with creative directors and strategists to shape how a brand communicates across short-form video formats. A typical day runs from reviewing junior editor cuts and giving notes, to finishing your own flagship deliverables with color grading and sound editing locked. The volume is real, and so is the creative ownership.

Key Responsibilities

• Own final cuts on flagship social deliverables, ensuring every piece meets the brand’s editorial and storytelling standards before it leaves post.
• Lead color grading and sound editing across the team’s output, maintaining consistency across TikTok, Instagram Reels, X, and YouTube Shorts formats.
• Mentor junior editors through the full post-production workflow, from assembly cut through to delivery, with hands-on notes and structured feedback.
• Partner with creative directors and strategists in pre-production and post to align editorial approach with platform-specific storytelling needs.
• Integrate motion design elements into social content, working within or alongside motion designers to keep visual language on-brand.
• Monitor platform trends and algorithm shifts to inform editorial decisions before they become industry-standard practice.

What You Bring

• Several years of video editing experience with a demonstrable focus on social content production and short-form post-production workflow.
• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects, with working knowledge of DaVinci Resolve for color grading.
• A reel that shows range across brand content, social campaigns, or agency production rather than a single format.
• Experience giving editorial direction to junior editors, either in an agency, studio, or in-house content team.
• Fluency in platform specifications and delivery requirements for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and X.

Why This Role

Razorfish, part of Publicis Groupe, operates at the intersection of brand strategy and content production, which means editorial decisions here carry real strategic weight rather than just execution. The advertised compensation for this role is $95,000, reflecting the senior-level scope and mentorship expectations built into it. For an editor ready to lead a team without leaving the craft behind, this is a logical next step.
