Agency Workers will receive a W2 from the staffing agency reporting their earnings for tax purposes. Social Video Editor and Producer The Transaction team at People Inc. is looking for a high-volume Video Producer & Editor to bring a new product's story to life across social channels. You’ll toggle between short, performance-driven social clips that require a quick turnaround and more narrative short-form series that showcase the brand to social audiences. This role is for a true self-starter who thrives in a fast-moving startup environment and can manage multiple priorities with minimal direction. You won’t just execute a video — you’ll shape it. We’re looking for someone who can translate UGC, trends, and insights into compelling, scroll-stopping content designed to resonate with Gen Z and Millennial viewers. You should have a strong instinct for what performs on TikTok, Reels, and emerging platforms, with a proven track record of turning ideas into high-performing social content. Most importantly, you know how to blend clarity (what the product does), emotion (why it matters), and pace (why it’s worth watching) to drive engagement and growth. Assignment Details Hourly Rate: $55-$65/Hour Hours: 40 Hours Per Week (Hybrid: 1 day on office; more if shoots are scheduled) Location: NYC People Inc.

Direct, produce, and manage the workflows for content ranging from daily short, reactive social clips to premium short-form series. Help to concept and launch recurring formats that showcase the brand and product’s utility and value. Edit with strong instincts for hooks, pacing, retention, and shareability, adding creative value beyond the brief. Optimize all video content for Instagram, TikTok, and emerging platforms. Stay ahead of platform trends, features, and cultural moments. Manage multiple deadlines in a fast-moving, startup environment. Experience 4+ years of experience producing and editing social-first video for brands, publishers, or personal platforms. A portfolio of short-form work demonstrating strong pacing, storytelling, and viral performance (examples required). Proven ability to create formats and series that drive social engagement and growth. Deep understanding of Instagram and TikTok, including platform trends and retention strategies. Strong instincts for pacing, hooks, and finding the most compelling “moment” in raw footage. Knowledge of celebrity culture, fashion/style, beauty, and shopping, and how these topics are consumed and engaged with on social platforms. Experience working in fast-paced, high-volume environments with tight deadlines. Ability to manage projects end-to-end, from concept through final delivery. You Are Familiar with TikTok, Instagram, and emerging social platforms Passionate about content creation, digital culture, and shopping Highly organized and able to manage multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment without sacrificing quality Obsessed with hooks, retention, and audience behavior Collaborative, decisive, and solutions-oriented People Inc. is the largest print and digital publisher in America.
