About TubeScience
At TubeScience, we create data-driven video ads for some of the largest advertisers on Facebook and Instagram across fashion, beauty, food, fitness, healthcare, financial services, and more.

The Role
As a Lead Editor, you’ll be the creative anchor of your pod. You’ll set the visual standard, guide editors toward stronger work, and help turn campaign strategy into high-performing creative. You’ll still be close to the craft, especially on high-priority campaigns, but your impact will go beyond your own edits.
Your feedback will shape the quality of the team. Your judgment will influence how work gets made. And your leadership will help editors improve faster and make better creative decisions. You’ll also work closely with Creative Directors on team performance, workflow improvements, and your own growth as a leader.

What You’ll Do
- Raise the Creative Bar: Set quality standards, give feedback that's actionable and grounded in what drives results, and step into high-priority edits when needed.

- Maximize Every Asset: Review footage, curate strong selects, maintain organized libraries, and find smart ways to repurpose content.
- Bridge Production and Post: Partner closely with Production on footage quality — flagging issues early and delivering feedback that's actionable and consumer-minded.
- Partner with Strategy: Share performance insights and strengthen knowledge-sharing between editorial and Strategy to keep creative decisions grounded in what's working.
- Lead with a Business Mindset: Represent editorial in cross-functional conversations, balance creative ambition with production realities, and make the tough calls — on scope, timelines, or team assignments — when it's what the work needs.
- Improve the Process: Streamline workflows, explore new tools and AI capabilities, and bring solutions to recurring challenges.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
