About the Role
Monks is looking to expand our creative service capabilities by hiring a Freelance Senior Video Editor.

You’ll be responsible for editing short-form paid media ads for digital channels (including but not limited to Facebook, Google, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube) both net-new and from existing client materials. You’ll be somewhat of a motion generalist, at times jumping from animation into short-form video editing.
Responsibilities:
- Creative:
- Collaborate with our designers and producers, working together to create ads driving performance results for our client’s media programs
- Knowledge in coloring, VFX and sound design
- Ability to do basic 3D text animations is a plus
- Strong time management, leading multiple motion-based projects with tight timelines
- Project managing yourself, fluidly jumping between multiple projects
- Owning revision + resizing projects for our largest clients
- Conceptualize animated content optimized for paid media channels
- Possessing an understanding or willingness to learn paid media channel best practices
- Fluency in the Adobe Creative Cloud, focused in After Effects + Premiere Pro
- Soft Skills:
-
- Self-starter, problem-solver & team-player
- Effectively communicate animation concepts, ideas and limitations to creative and non-creative teammates. Will be asked to articulate animation choices and defend decisions
- Offer new angles, best practices and practical solutions to our editing and motion design workflows
- Openness to team and client feedback
- Be eager to push the limits within your work and your personal development
About You
The essentials:
- 4-6 years technical experience with video editing and light motion design, preferably at a performance-focused agency
- Strong ability to create precise edits for paid channels
- Experience in the end-to-end editing process, ensuring seamless delivery of online edits
- Basic understanding of color grading, SFX and sound design
- Portfolio is required
- In-depth knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite with proficiency in Adobe After Effects and Premiere
- Experience in paid media ad editing and animation
- 4 year college degree (preferably in design) or equivalent work experience
Not a must, but a plus:
- Experience with HTML5 ad animation
- Experience using Gen AI tools for ad builds and concepting
- Experience building versioning workflows or working with automated versioning tools
- Familiarity with Google suite
- B2C and B2B experience
