Performance Marketing Video Editor

**COMPANY** =========== RYZE was founded in 2019 by Andrée Werner and Rashad Hossain, out of a parents' basement, with a mission to change daily health, starting with the morning routine: a nutrient-dense mushroom coffee delivering clean energy, mental clarity, and immune support. Built on a Direct-to-Consumer foundation with a performance marketing engine, RYZE achieved hockey-stick growth and a community of over 1 million active subscribers. DTC remains the foundation, but RYZE has expanded into mass retail, quickly becoming the #2 item in Target's overall coffee category and is now executing a multi-channel expansion, with a cross-category launch coming in early 2027. RYZE is uniquely positioned to redefine how people think about daily wellness. We're a lean, fast-moving, mission-driven team who believe daily rituals create the foundation for living your greatest life, and we're just getting started! **ROLE & RESPONSIBILITIES** =========================== We’re looking for a performance-minded Video Editor to support RYZE’s paid social advertising engine across Meta and TikTok.

What We’re Looking For ---------------------- * 2+ years of hands-on video editing experience.   * Proven experience editing paid social ads for platforms like Facebook and TikTok.   * Strong portfolio showcasing short-form, performance-driven ad creatives.   * Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro; working knowledge of After Effects and Photoshop.   * Solid understanding of audio editing, captioning, pacing, and color correction.   * Comfort working with AI tools as part of daily creative production.   * Strong written and verbal English communication skills.   * Ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and iterate quickly.   * High attention to detail and comfort working within structured creative workflows.   * Open to direct feedback and fast turnaround expectations. **WHAT WE OFFER** ================= * Competitive hourly or monthly contract compensation * Fully remote, flexible work environment * Opportunity to work on high-impact performance creative for a fast-growing brand * Access to RYZE creative assets, tools, templates, and performance insights
