Senior Video Editor

Why should you join Jerry? - Join a pre-IPO startup with capital, traction, and runway ($240M funded | 40X revenue growth in 4 years | $2T market size). - Work closely with brilliant leaders and teammates from companies like McKinsey, BCG, Nvidia, Better, SoFi, etc. - Disrupt a massive market and help scale us to a $5B business in the next few years. - Be immersed in a talent-dense environment and accelerate your career growth exponentially. - Own the edit — and shape the creative quality of every video asset Jerry puts into the world. About the Role At Jerry, we are redefining and radically improving how people manage car ownership, one of their most expensive and time-consuming assets. Backed by artificial intelligence and machine learning, Jerry simplifies and automates car ownership while providing personalized services tailored to all car owners' needs. We are the #1 rated and most downloaded app in our category with a 4.7-star rating in the App Store and more than 5 million customers — and we're just getting started. We're looking for a Senior Video Editor who's fast, precise, and deeply fluent in what makes performance video work. Someone who understands that great editing isn't just technical — it's storytelling. You'll own the edit across a high volume of paid social, CTV, and emerging channel content, cutting ads that stop scrolls, hold attention, and drive results. You'll work closely with creative leads and growth teams to iterate quickly, experiment constantly, and raise the bar on every asset that ships. Why you will (or won't) like working here: High volume, high craft: This isn't a slow-moving brand shop. You'll be cutting a lot — and you'll care deeply about the quality of every single asset, even under speed and volume pressure. Edit with intention: You won't just be executing someone else's vision frame-for-frame. You'll bring creative judgment to every cut — flagging what's not working, suggesting better approaches, and elevating the work. Car ownership is not "sexy": Insurance, maintenance, and safety are only topics people think about when they have a bill to pay or a flat tire to change. Can your editing make people lean in anyway? That's the challenge. What You'll Do - Edit high volumes of performance video ads end-to-end across TikTok, Meta, YouTube, CTV, and emerging channels — from first assembly through final delivery. - Cut with performance instincts: building tension in hooks, controlling pacing, and constructing narratives that convert. - Iterate rapidly based on performance data and creative feedback — versioning, testing, and optimizing assets with speed and precision. - Collaborate with creative leads, producers, and growth teams to bring scripts and briefs to life, and push back constructively when the edit calls for it. - Handle motion graphics, basic color, and audio mixing to deliver polished, platform-ready assets without relying on additional post resources. - Organize and maintain an efficient editing workflow — managing project files, asset libraries, and version control across a fast-moving creative pipeline. - Leverage AI editing tools and generative workflows to accelerate output and unlock new creative possibilities. - QC all outgoing assets against platform specs and Jerry's brand standards before delivery. What We're Looking For - 5+ years of professional video editing experience, ideally with significant time spent on performance or direct-response creative (paid social, DTC, app-based brands, or performance agencies). - Deep fluency in Premiere Pro and/or Final Cut; comfortable with After Effects for motion and basic compositing. - Strong performance editing instincts — you understand hooks, pacing, and CTAs, and you can feel when a cut isn't working and why. - Ability to operate at high volume without sacrificing quality — you're organized, fast, and consistent. - Motion graphics and basic color grading capability — you can deliver a finished, polished asset without needing a dedicated finisher. - Collaborative and communicative — you take direction well, give clear feedback, and are easy to work with across creative and growth teams. - AI fluency — you actively use or experiment with AI-assisted editing tools to work faster and smarter. - Bonus: experience editing across both performance and brand contexts — you know how to make an ad that converts and feels premium at the same time. Why This Role Matters Great editing is the difference between an ad that scrolls past and one that changes behavior. At Jerry, the edit is where strategy, story, and craft come together — and we need a Senior Video Editor who takes that seriously. You'll be central to our creative output, working at the intersection of art and performance, and helping us build a scalable system that ships great work consistently and fast. While we appreciate your interest and application
