About The Role

We are seeking a senior, hands-on Social Video Editor with excellent editorial judgment, strong social instincts, and a deep curiosity about what makes short-form video content compelling. This is not a traditional corporate video editing role. Instead, you will work closely with trusted physicians, executives, and employees to develop their social media presence by transforming their expertise, experiences, and perspectives into engaging, useful videos tailored for social platforms.

The ideal candidate is passionate about creator-led content, stays current with evolving social media formats, and continually tests narrative, visual, and audio techniques that capture attention and increase engagement. You will work with both scripted and unscripted direct-to-camera material to identify the strongest moments, shape compelling stories, and use pacing, captions, sound, and supporting visuals to maintain audience interest. This role offers flexibility to work remotely from anywhere within the U.S., with an in-office requirement of at least four days per week for hires in Minneapolis or Washington, D.C.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of video editing experience with a portfolio demonstrating excellent editorial judgment and short-form storytelling skills

• Experience creating original videos that integrate video, images, graphics, audio, and text for social media platforms

• Strong editorial judgment to identify the most compelling material within raw footage

• Deep understanding of creator-led content and the visual language of platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and YouTube

• Preferred: Experience editing expert-led, educational, journalistic, or healthcare content

• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro or comparable professional video editing software

• Experience with animation and design software such as After Effects, Illustrator, and Photoshop is a plus

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, including the ability to contribute creative ideas, explain editorial choices, and incorporate feedback

• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple projects, versions, and deadlines

• Ability to work remotely in adherence to UnitedHealth Group's Telecommuter Policy, if applicable

Responsibilities

• Edit short-form videos daily, ensuring compelling openings, clear narrative structure, and purposeful pacing

• Identify the strongest performances and moments across multiple takes using sound editorial judgment

• Make high-quality, social-native visual and audio decisions to improve viewer retention and maintain a consistent creator-specific look and feel

• Create polished captions, simple animations, and motion graphics; incorporate documents, images, B-roll, and other elements to simplify complex information

• Experiment with new formats and techniques informed by platform trends, audience data, and creative instincts; communicate the rationale behind creative choices clearly

• Incorporate feedback accurately and identify any source material or storytelling issues that could impact the final video

• Maintain organized project files, assets, and version control

• Ensure videos meet standards for accessibility, accuracy, platform quality, and creator branding

• Use audience performance data and other feedback to continuously improve future edits

• Develop reusable templates and workflows while preserving each creator’s individual style

Benefits

• Comprehensive benefits package including health, dental, and vision coverage

• Incentive and recognition programs

• Equity stock purchase plan

• 401(k) retirement contribution with company match
