Las Vegas, Nevada
The SHOW comes alive at MGM Resorts International
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to work in a place full of excitement, diversity, and entertainment? Are you enthusiastic about being a team player in one of the most fascinating industries in the world? At MGM Resorts, we seek individuals like YOU to create unique and show-stopping experiences for our guests.
THE JOB:
The Social Media Content Editor is the post-production engine of the Social Media Production Team, turning raw capture into finished, platform-native assets for select brands within MGM Resorts' 13-property Las Vegas portfolio. Working from social media manager and producer footage, archive, and creator-submitted material, the Editor cuts, versions, and finishes static, video, and motion content to brand standard, builds and maintains the templates and asset library the wider team draws from, and protects speed and consistency across a high-volume publishing calendar.
THE DAY-TO-DAY:
Edit raw footage into finished, platform-native social assets across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Meta, and emerging formats, delivering the creative intent set by producers and creative leadership.
Support the full producer roster on asset development, taking briefs, footage, and shot lists from multiple producers concurrently and returning finished cuts on agreed turnaround dates.
Version and resize finished content across social-first placements and aspect ratios, including but not limited to 4:5, 4:3, 9:16, 1:1, and 16:9, with correct safe zones, captioning, and platform specifications for both organic and paid delivery.
Apply finishing craft including sound design, music selection and syncing, color correction, captioning, and titling, producing content built to perform with sound off.
Build and animate motion graphics, lower thirds, title cards, and end frames consistent with each brand’s visual identity while developing reusable edit templates, motion graphics packages, color presets, caption styles, and project structures to raise output speed and consistency.
Own the shared asset library and archive (ingest, labeling, metadata, proxy generation, backup, and retrieval) while mining existing footage to repurpose prior productions and evergreen material into fresh assets without additional shoot spend.
Edit and finish creator and influencer content to brand standard, confirming usage rights and required disclosures are documented before delivery.
Manage revision rounds with producers, social media managers, brand, and legal partners, tracking feedback and maintaining version control through final approval.
Perform quality control on outgoing assets, checking specifications, aspect ratios, captions, audio levels, logo usage, and legal supers before publishing handoff.
Apply AI-assisted post-production workflows, including transcription, captioning, rough assembly, and cleanup, within MGM Resorts brand safety, disclosure, and governance standards.
Support live event and time-sensitive coverage with same-day and next-day turnarounds, including on-site edit support when required.
Track platform format changes, editing trends, and emerging post-production tools, bringing recommendations back to the production team.
