About Whop

Whop is building the social commerce infrastructure for the world. We believe in a future where all businesses are communities that directly engage their customers. The best products in the universe are made by builders, not corporations—and we’re looking for passionate creators to help us shape the next generation of social-first video experiences.

What You’ll Do

• Edit social ads & shorts: Craft vertical videos (≤60 sec) optimized for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, etc.
• Fast-turnaround edits: Take raw footage, UGC, and storyboards to finished cuts under tight deadlines
• Motion graphics & effects: Use After Effects (and Premiere Pro) to add titles, transitions, lower thirds, and simple animations
• Polish & refine: Color grade, audio mix, and sound-design so every cut snaps
• Collaborate cross-functionally: Work directly with Creative Director, Designers, and Marketing to ensure brand consistency and messaging alignment
• Iterate quickly: Incorporate feedback, test cuts for engagement, and continually optimize for performance metrics (views, CTR, completion rate)
  
  

What We’re Looking For

• 2–3 years’ experience editing short-form social content or digital ads
• Expert proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects
• Internet culture savvy: You live on TikTok/Instagram, understand meme formats, trends, pacing, and can translate that into thumb-stopping content
• Attention to detail: Pixel-perfect framing, seamless cuts, and clean deliverables (no spelling/video glitches)
• Speed & adaptability: Thrive in a high-velocity environment, juggling multiple projects without sacrificing quality
• Strong communication: Clear, proactive updates and openness to feedback
• Self-starter mentality: You own your schedule, anticipate needs, and push projects forward
  
  

Nice to Have

• Motion-design chops beyond basic animations (e.g., kinetic typography)
• Experience with social-ad platforms’ specs and A/B testing workflows
• Familiarity with Adobe Media Encoder, plugins (e.g., FilmConvert, Red Giant)
• Basic graphic design skills (Canva, Photoshop)
  
  

You’ll report directly to our Creative Director and play a pivotal role in scaling Whop’s social video footprint. If you’re eager to grow, learn fast, and make an impact at lightning speed, we’d love to hear from you!
