Job Description
About Huzzle
At Huzzle, we connect exceptional B2B sales professionals with top opportunities at leading companies across the UK, US, Canada, Europe, and Australia. Our clients include startups, digital agencies, and tech platforms in industries such as SaaS, MarTech, FinTech, and EdTech. Unlike an outsourcing agency, we place you directly with a client where you’re hired in-house as a valued member of their team.
About the company
Our client is a fast-growing digital marketing agency exclusively dedicated to the blue-collar and trade industries across North America. The team specializes in reinventing how contractors, from HVAC and plumbing to large-scale construction, dominate their local markets. By leveraging deep industry expertise and blue-collar backgrounds, they provide a full suite of services including web design, SEO, and specialized lead generation systems designed to help businesses scale from local shops to household names.
Job Summary
We are looking for a high-performance Video Editor to join one of the fastest-growing marketing agencies in North America. This isn’t a role for background editors—we need a storyteller who understands the science of the scroll. You will be responsible for capturing the authentic, gritty energy of the blue-collar world and transforming it into high-impact, viral content. If you are obsessed with retention metrics, psychological hooks, and pushing creative boundaries within a high-energy team, this is the place to build your career.
Key Responsibilities
Edit high-impact video content designed to drive organic virality and engagement across TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.
Manage high-volume post-production workflows, delivering 5-10 polished videos per day without sacrificing creative quality.
Analyze content performance metrics (watch time, CTR, pacing) to constantly refine hooks and editing styles.
Collaborate with a dedicated creative squad of editors to run workshops, share insights, and elevate the department’s total output.
Integrate AI tools and cutting-edge motion graphics to increase production efficiency and visual appeal.
Work closely with account managers and designers to deliver high-converting assets for websites, social media, and advertising campaigns.
Maintain brand consistency while capturing the authentic, hard-working spirit of trades-based businesses.
3-4+ years of professional experience in video and photo production, preferably in an agency or fast-paced business environment.
Proven track record of virality with a portfolio that demonstrates a deep understanding of social media algorithms and organic reach.
Mastery of Adobe Premiere Pro and the Creative Cloud suite, including Lightroom.
Highly analytical mindset with the ability to edit based on data, psychology-driven hooks, and music trends.
Proficiency in motion graphics and animation specifically tailored for short-form content.
Ability to work at high speeds in a "work hard, play hard" environment while maintaining meticulous organization via Google Workspace.
A collaborative spirit and the leadership potential to mentor and inspire other editors on the team.
Nice-to-Haves
- Deep personal interest or experience in the blue-collar and trades industries.
- Advanced experience with AI media creation tools (e.g., Higgsfield) to optimize workflows.
- Experience managing end-to-end photo and video assets for multi-national service brands.
