- Repurpose long-form footage (keynotes, lives, podcasts) into a steady stream of short-form clips
- Keep a consistent posting cadence against a content calendar
- Stay ahead of platform formats and trends and bring ideas to the table, not just execute briefs

- Comfort working at high volume and fast turnaround without dropping quality
- Self-starter who can use the initiative to edit without hand holding
