Video Editor
About Keen
At Keen, we don’t just deliver services, we embed ourselves into the heart of our clients’ businesses. From digital marketing and creative to customer experience, we craft bold, high-performance digital experiences for global brands.
We are not a legacy agency, recruiter, or staffing company; we are a true partner in growth, helping exciting U.S. and international brands scale smarter by embedding expert teams.
The Role
We are seeking a talented, organized, and social-native Video Editor to support content and paid media efforts across organic social and performance marketing.
You will work with a fast-growing consumer wellness brand that produces nicotine-free, caffeine-free focus pouches. Their products are powered by a clean, research-backed blend of nootropics designed to deliver instant focus and smooth, sustained energy.
This role is ideal for an editor early in their career but deeply fluent in TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, with a strong understanding of what makes short-form video perform. The majority of your work will involve taking video content produced by creators and turning it into high-performing ads using captions, b-roll, strong transitions, and trending music.
You must be comfortable editing quickly, iterating often, and working with modern tools like CapCut, while continuing to develop your craft in a fast-moving DTC environment.
