Who we are:

Shape a brighter financial future with us.

Together with our members, we’re changing the way people think about and interact with personal finance.

We’re a next-generation financial services company and national bank using innovative, mobile-first technology to help our millions of members reach their goals. The industry is going through an unprecedented transformation, and we’re at the forefront. We’re proud to come to work every day knowing that what we do has a direct impact on people’s lives, with our core values guiding us every step of the way. Join us to invest in yourself, your career, and the financial world.

The Role

SoFi is looking for a versatile and narrative-driven Video Editor to join our internal Creative Studio. We’re moving beyond simple clips and looking for a craft-focused editor who can bridge the gap between long-form episodic storytelling and high-impact social media marketing. This role is perfect for a post-production professional who thrives on taking raw footage—ranging from high-profile sports partnerships to deep-dive financial influencer collaborations—and carving out a compelling, brand-aligned story.

As a key member of our post-production team, you will be responsible for the "final polish." You aren't just cutting clips; you are helping define the visual rhythm of our episodic series and ensuring our sports and influencer content stops the scroll. We are looking for an editor who is technically proficient, highly collaborative, and deeply curious about the future of the craft, including the integration of AI tools into the modern editorial workflow.

What You’ll Do
  • Episodic & Social Storytelling: Lead the edit on recurring digital series, transforming raw interviews and b-roll into engaging episodes. Simultaneously, you will version that content into high-performing assets for TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts.
  • Partnership Integration: Craft content featuring our high-profile sports partners and financial influencers, ensuring their unique voices align seamlessly with the SoFi brand.
  • End-to-End Post-Production: Take ownership of the editorial process, including organizing dailies, assembly, rough cuts, and final delivery. This includes basic color grading and audio sweetening to ensure a professional finish.
  • Collaborative Refinement: Work alongside producers, creative directors, and social strategists to iterate on cuts based on data-driven feedback and creative notes.
  • AI Workflow Optimization: Experiment with and implement AI-assisted tools (such as AI-driven transcription, rotoscoping, or generative fill) to streamline repetitive tasks and elevate creative output.
  • Asset Optimization: Maintain a deep understanding of platform-specific requirements, ensuring every export is optimized for its destination, whether it’s a stadium jumbotron or a mobile feed.
  • Library Management: Ensure all project files and media are organized and archived in our MAM, according to studio standards for easy collaboration and future retrieval.
What You’ll Need
  • Experience: 4+ years of dedicated video editing experience, preferably within a creative agency, media house, or internal brand team.
  • Portfolio: A strong reel or portfolio showcasing a mix of episodic/narrative work and fast-paced social media marketing.
  • Software Proficiency: Strong command of Adobe Premiere Pro. Familiarity with the broader Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, etc.) and a solid understanding of the post-production pipeline.
  • Platform Knowledge: A "social-first" mindset with a deep understanding of what makes content successful on modern platforms (pacing, captions, hook-driven editing).
  • Library Management: Experience with cloud based NAS/MAM and review tools, such as Iconik, Lucid Link, Shade or Frame i.o.
  • Adaptability: The ability to pivot between different visual styles—from the high-energy world of sports marketing to the more educational, "edutainment" style of our influencer partnerships.
  • Soft Skills:
    • Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple project timelines.
    • A collaborative spirit and the ability to remain "ego-less" when receiving creative feedback.
    • Clear communication skills to articulate editorial choices to non-technical stakeholders.
Nice to Have
  • Production Background: Familiarity with cinematography or photography (though you won't be expected to be the primary shooter).
  • Motion Graphics: Experience with Adobe After Effects for creating lower thirds, basic titles, or animated call-outs.
  • Industry Interest: An interest in Fintech or the financial world.
  • Technical Curiosity: Experience with AI tools like Topaz, Runway, or specialized Premiere plugins.

What We Do

SoFi wasn’t built to be a bank. Or a technology company. We were built for one mission: help people achieve financial independence so they can realize their ambitions.

Redefining an entire industry isn’t easy work—and it’s not for the faint of heart. It takes a certain kind of team. People with diverse perspectives and expertise, united by a common sense of purpose. People willing to challenge assumptions but always do the right thing. People proving that innovation and responsibility don’t have to compete, but can come together to create something truly unconventional in the world.

For the last eight years, we’ve been charting this new path forward. We call it The SoFi Way.
At SoFi, we don’t just talk about culture: we live it. The SoFi Way is how we show up every day, how we make decisions, and how we build for our members, clients, and each other.

Why Work With Us

Together with our members, we’re changing the way people think about and interact with personal finance. We’re a next-generation Fintech company using innovative, mobile-first technology to help our members reach their goals. The industry is going through an unprecedented transformation, and we’re at the forefront.
