Job Description

This assignment posting is for an Agency Worker opportunity with People Inc. The Agency Worker is paid by a staffing agency employer. Agency Workers will receive a W2 from the staffing agency reporting their earnings for tax purposes. Social Video Editor/Producer | InStyle InStyle is seeking a Social Video Editor/Producer for our social platforms. We are looking for a high-volume editor who can seamlessly toggle between "quick-turn" social clips and high-touch, narrative-driven short-form series. This role requires a self-starter who can navigate multiple, competing priorities with minimal direction. We aren’t looking for someone to simply follow a storyboard; you are expected to bring your own creative vision to the timeline to elevate raw assets into high-performing content with a proven, demonstrable track record of social success. Assignment Details Hourly Rate: $55/hr Hours: 40 hours per week Schedule: Hybrid (3 days in office, on-site NYC) Location: People Inc. NYC Office, 225 Liberty Street Duration: May 4 – Sept 30, 2026 (Potential for extension) Key Post-Production Responsibilities Dual-Track Editing: Manage a daily workflow that alternates between rapid-response social trending moments and long-lead narrative storytelling. Creative Initiative: Go beyond the provided footage. Add editorial value through pacing, music selection, and visual hooks that make fashion and beauty feel accessible and conversational. Autonomous Workflow: Work with minimal direction to take projects from raw ingest to final delivery. Interpret a brief and execute a final cut that hits the mark the first time. Priority Management: Successfully juggle multiple, competing deadlines in a fast-paced environment where schedules shift based on the news cycle and celebrity events. Authentic Storytelling: Prioritize real, human moments and sharp commentary over high-gloss artifice. Technical Optimization: Deliver polished exports optimized for 9:16, 4:5, and 1:1 ratios, ensuring framing and text placement are perfect for each platform. Skills & Experience Demonstrable Success: 2+ years of experience editing social-first video content with a portfolio that shows high engagement and views. Expert-level in Adobe Premiere Pro is required: fast, organized, and technically efficient in the timeline. Editorial Judgment: Strong sense of what makes a "moment." Ability to find the most relatable, authentic clip in a sea of raw footage and build a narrative around it. Visual Creativity: Proficiency in basic motion graphics, text overlays, and sound design to enhance the viewer experience without over-producing. High-Volume Background: Experience working in a digital media or agency environment where you are expected to deliver high-quality work on a tight turnaround. People Inc. is America’s largest digital and print publisher. Our 40+ iconic and fast-growing brands harness the best intent-driven content, the fastest sites, and the fewest ads to help nearly 200 million people every month, including 95 percent of US women, make decisions, take action, and find inspiration. People Inc. brands include PEOPLE, Better Homes & Gardens, Verywell, FOOD & WINE, The Spruce, Allrecipes, Byrdie, REAL SIMPLE, Investopedia, Southern Living and more. Please be aware of fraudulent recruiters offering opportunities at People Inc.
