- Edit raw footage into polished, performance-oriented ads with strong pacing, captions, hooks, transitions, and platform-appropriate formatting.
- Collaborate directly with the founder to execute branding vision.
- Adapt content into multiple variations for testing, including different hooks, cuts, captions, lengths, and formats.
- Ensure final content feels warm, trustworthy, modern, and aligned with the tone of a mental healthcare brand.
- Stay aware of trends in short-form video, creator-led ads, and direct-response social content.
Qualifications
- Based in New York City or able to travel to NYC for shoots.
- Strong shooting and editing skills, with a portfolio or examples of short-form video content.
- Comfortable filming with DSLR/mirrorless cameras, iPhone, lighting, audio equipment, or a lean creator-style production setup.
- Proficiency in editing tools such as Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut, or similar.
- Strong sense of pacing, storytelling, framing, and what performs well in social-first video.
- Ability to work independently, manage deadlines, and turn around edits quickly.
- Comfortable taking feedback and producing multiple versions of the same concept.
- No prior healthcare or mental healthcare experience required.
Nice to Have
- Experience creating ads or organic content for consumer brands, startups, wellness brands, healthcare-adjacent companies, or creator-led campaigns.
- Experience editing paid social ads with direct-response hooks and clear calls to action.
- Experience working at a venture-backed startup.

About Mantis
We are building a unified biomedical device testing and regulatory platform that connects every stage of product development from CAD design through simulation, bench testing, and verification to FDA Q-Submissions. Currently, engineers, scientists, and regulatory teams work in isolated tools that don't communicate, forcing manual data recreation and documentation assembly. Our platform replaces this fragmented process with a single validated environment where simulated patient anatomy, test data, and requirements are all linked and traceable. It automates verification reporting, identifies missing tests, and generates compliant submission packages automatically, cutting months off development timelines and reducing regulatory risk.
We're an all-female team based in New York and San Francisco. We're looking for a fast learner who exercises individual autonomy and has an abundance of creativity. If people ever compare you to a famous autistic movie character (it was Sheldon Cooper for our CEO), or ask, "Why are you like this?", we want you to come work for us. If you also have a passion for bio or sports, we REALLY want you to come work for us.
