Social Media Video Editor

Who We Are

The Christian Post is one of the largest and most widely read Christian news organizations in the world, reaching millions of readers across digital platforms each month. Our mission is to deliver news, analysis, and commentary that informs and equips the global Church. As our digital presence continues to grow across social media, we are expanding our creative team to bring that mission to the next generation of audiences through compelling video content.

THE ROLE

Social Media Video Editor

We are seeking a talented and creative Social Media Video Editor to join our team. In this role, you will transform raw footage and existing content into high-impact, platform-specific videos for YouTube, Instagram, X, TikTok, and other emerging channels. You will be a key creative voice in how The Christian Post engages audiences visually — helping to make world-class journalism immediately watchable, shareable, and resonant with both long-time readers and new audiences alike.

This is a full-time position that combines editorial instinct, design sensibility, and technical mastery. The ideal candidate is someone who understands both the craft of storytelling and the mechanics of social media algorithms — and who is motivated by the mission of unapologetically reporting the truth through a Biblical lens, despite the cost.
