About Upper Echelon Products
Upper Echelon Products is a top 1% Amazon seller built on data-driven product design. Founded in late 2015 around the Repel umbrella, the top-selling umbrella in e-commerce for the last decade, UEP has grown into a portfolio of proprietary and acquired brands spanning home, outdoor, and lifestyle categories. Our team members work across offices in Austin and Shenzhen and remotely across more than a dozen countries.
Role Summary
UEP is looking for a UGC Editor to turn raw creator and affiliate footage into scroll-stopping, native-feeling content for TikTok Shop, Amazon, and paid social. You'll take a high volume of user-generated and influencer-submitted clips and transform them into polished, on-brand videos that convert — without losing the authentic, "made by a real person" feel that makes UGC work. This is a hands-on editing role, not a producer or strategist seat: you'll spend the bulk of your time in the timeline.
Key Responsibilities
* Edit raw creator/affiliate/UGC footage into finished short-form videos for TikTok Shop, TikTok organic, Instagram Reels, and Amazon video placements
* Cut multiple content variations per brief (different hooks, lengths, CTAs) to support A/B testing across brands
* Add captions, text overlays, sound design, pacing, and trending audio/effects to keep content native to each platform
* Maintain consistent brand look-and-feel across UEP's portfolio of brands while preserving the authentic UGC aesthetic
* Organize and manage a high-volume footage library (raw clips, briefs, deliverables) across multiple concurrent brand projects
* Collaborate with the TikTok Shop Operations & Content Manager and creators/affiliates to ensure content matches brief intent and brand guidelines
* Turn around edits quickly to keep pace with a fast-moving content calendar and trend cycle
* Flag footage or performance patterns that could inform better creator briefs going forward
Requirements
* 1–3+ years of experience editing short-form video content, ideally UGC, influencer, or social-first content (not corporate/brand video)
* Strong command of editing software (e.g., Premiere Pro, CapCut, Final Cut Pro)
* Demonstrated understanding of what makes TikTok/Reels content perform — pacing, hooks, captions, trends, native feel
* Ability to manage a high volume of footage and deliverables across multiple brands/projects at once
* Strong eye for detail and consistency while working quickly
* Comfortable taking written briefs and creative direction and executing independently
* Portfolio or reel required
* Proven creative that has scaled on organic or paid
* Expert level of experience with Claude, ChatGPT, Eleven Labs, Higgsfield integrations, as well as other Ai-first editing tools
Preferred Qualifications
* Experience editing content specifically for e-commerce brands or TikTok Shop
* Familiarity with sound design/motion graphics basics (kinetic text, simple animations)
* Experience working with affiliate/creator-submitted footage (vs. in-house shoots)
* Prior experience supporting multiple brands or clients simultaneously
What Success Looks Like
* Content that performs — high watch-through, engagement, and conversion on TikTok Shop and social
* Fast, reliable turnaround that keeps pace with the content calendar
* Videos that feel authentically "UGC" even after editing, not overproduced
