Digital Style House is a fast-growing creative and social media marketing agency looking for a highly skilled, AI-first Short-Form Video Editor who knows how to leverage Claude Code, Claude Cowork, AI video editing tools, and automation to produce high-quality social media content at scale.

We're not looking for a traditional video editor who manually spends hours editing a single Reel.

We're looking for someone who understands how to use AI, intelligent workflows, and automation to dramatically increase video production speed without compromising creative quality.

The ideal candidate can build efficient AI-assisted editing workflows and consistently produce a high volume of engaging, polished short-form videos every single day.

This position will begin as a contract role with the opportunity to transition into a full-time position.

Key Responsibilities

• Edit and produce high volumes of short-form videos daily for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and paid social advertising.
• Leverage Claude Code and Claude Cowork to build, manage, and optimize AI-assisted video editing workflows.
• Develop automated editing systems to streamline repetitive tasks, accelerate production, and increase daily video output.
• Use AI tools to generate B-roll, captions, motion graphics, transitions, visual effects, and engaging video elements.
• Transform raw footage, UGC, podcasts, and product content into compelling social media videos.
• Create multiple video variations from existing footage for organic social media and paid advertising.
• Implement efficient systems for batch editing, content repurposing, and automated video production.
• Stay ahead of emerging AI video tools, technologies, and automation opportunities.
• Maintain strong creative standards while working in a fast-paced, high-volume production environment.

Required Skills & Experience

• Advanced experience with Claude Code and/or Claude Cowork, particularly building AI-powered creative workflows.
• Strong understanding of AI video generation, editing, and automation technologies.
• Proven experience editing short-form content for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.
• Experience with tools such as CapCut, Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, FFmpeg, Runway, Kling, or similar platforms.
• Ability to build automated workflows using scripts, APIs, AI agents, or no-code automation platforms.
• Strong understanding of social media trends, viral hooks, pacing, storytelling, and retention-focused editing.
• Ability to work independently, meet deadlines, and consistently deliver high volumes of content.
• Excellent attention to detail and creative judgment.

What We're Really Looking For

Someone who can think beyond traditional editing.

We want an AI-native creative problem solver who can take a process that traditionally requires hours and figure out how to accomplish it in minutes.

You should be comfortable experimenting with new AI tools, building custom workflows, and finding ways to automate as much of the production process as possible.

Speed, scalability, creative quality, and technical innovation are essential.

• Continuously improving production speed, efficiency, and creative output.

Position Details
