Video Editor and Designer

LaunchSquad helps innovative brands tell their stories. Since 2000, we've partnered with leading technology, consumer lifestyle, and media companies - including Uber for Business, Crux, Chomps, and Ibotta - to create integrated earned, owned, and paid programs that build awareness and drive growth. We're looking for a Video Editor and Designer to join our team. Remote or hybrid candidates welcome.

LaunchSquad's content studio is seeking a Video Editor + Designer (Contract-to-Hire or Ongoing Freelance) to help concept, storyboard, and produce engaging social-first content for emerging and established brands. In this hands-on role, you'll collaborate with studio writers and PR strategists to develop creative and educational campaign ideas and bring the strongest concepts to life as compelling visual stories. Your work will support initiatives across earned, owned, and paid channels, in the form of videos, carousels, GIFs, infographics, or any format that fits the story.

We're looking for someone who enjoys both concepting and hands-on creation, and thrives in a collaborative, fast-paced environment. The ideal candidate has experience working with clients, stays on top of digital trends, and knows how to leverage the latest AI tools in production workflows without sacrificing originality.
