The posting

Kit https://kit.com/ is the email marketing platform experts choose to grow their audience, deepen their relationships, and build a business around the work they love. For coaches, YouTubers, authors, podcasters, and other creatives, there isn't a better marketing hub to rely on to grow audiences, automate email marketing, and sell digital products — all within one platform.

More importantly, there isn't a team more committed to helping creators earn a living. We're on a mission to help creators earn $1 billion using our creator marketing platform. We have always been 100% independent and 100% remote.

We are proud to have built a product that our customers love, and we look for people who have enthusiasm and belief in our mission, vision, and values to join our team. We're also embracing AI thoughtfully — both in how we build and how we hire to ensure our team is adaptable, innovative, and ready for what's next.

THE ROLE

Kit's content team is producing more video than ever — creator interviews, webinars, product demos, and a steady stream of organic social — and we need an editor and videographer who can keep pace without sacrificing quality. This is a part-time contract role, not full-time, but you'll sit on the content team, working directly from our raw footage and briefs rather than a detailed spec sheet.

Short-form is the priority, but you'll flex between quick social cuts and longer editorial pieces depending on what the week calls for. You should feel comfortable filming and editing for both

YOUR SUPPORT SYSTEM

You'll report to Cait Miller https://www.linkedin.com/in/caitlin-miller-38869432/, Team Lead, Content Marketing, and work closely with our social and creator education content marketers, who you will partner with for filming, briefs, and priorities week to week. Your other main collaborators are: our Growth marketing lead on paid ad social cutdowns and our in-house Brand team to understand the brand standards of Kit.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Film

- Join us in studio or on set as needed for original Kit content

- Feel comfortable both with on-the-ground filming as well as set and event filming

- Experience working with creators a plus

- Short-form

- Cut organic social content — Reels, talking-head videos, product clips, UGC, and more

- Turn longer creator interviews and webinars into paid ad creative

- Long-form

- Edit case study and creator interview videos

- Produce quick YouTube product and feature tutorials

- Edit evergreen webinar recordings into polished, on-demand videos

- Slice webinars, interviews, and existing footage into 2–5 minute mini-course lessons for YouTube or other platforms

WHAT WILL S.E.T. YOU UP FOR SUCCESS

Skills

- Strong command of a professional filming and editing tools (Adobe Premiere Pro preferred; familiarity with CapCut, Opus Clip, or Descript as needed)

- Fast, clean editing on talking-head and interview footage — pacing, captions, and audio cleanup that doesn't need a re-do

- An eye for turning long-form footage (interviews, webinars) into engaging short-form social cuts

- Comfort applying brand guidelines — fonts, captions, colors — consistently across a high volume of videos

- Strong eye for quality and polish — Has a high bar for craft and can catch small details in cuts, pacing, transitions, audio, and endings that can make a video feel unfinished or sloppy.

- Ability to work within a brand system — Comfortable interpreting and consistently applying brand guidelines across typography, color, composition, motion, imagery, and overall visual language.

- Strong design fundamentals — Understands core principles like hierarchy, composition, typography, spacing, and visual storytelling, and can apply them naturally in video.

- Collaborative with Brand/Design — Comfortable partnering closely with designers and creative leadership, receiving feedback, and incorporating brand considerations throughout the editing process.

Experiences

- 4+ years editing social-first video content, ideally for a brand, creator, or agency

- Experience editing both short-form (Reels/TikTok/Shorts) and longer-form (YouTube, webinar, interview) content

- Hands-on experience with recorded interviews, webinars, or talking-head footage — not just b-roll or UGC-only editing

- Nice to have: experience editing course-style or educational video content

Traits

- You're fast without cutting corners — this team is high-volume and needs an editor who won't become the bottleneck

- You can take a rough idea or raw footage and make it genuinely engaging, without leaning on clickbait

- You take feedback well and don't need heavy oversight once you know the brand

- You're comfortable juggling several projects across short- and long-form at once

WHAT WON'T SET YOU UP FOR SUCCESS

- Needing a detailed shot list or heavy direction before you can start cutting

- Discomfort with fast turnarounds — some weeks call for same-week social turnaround

- Preferring to specialize in only one format — this role moves between short- and long-form regularly

- A style that leans on clickbait hooks or gimmicks over substance

GEOGRAPHIC CONSIDERATIONS

While Kit operates as a fully remote organization, certain deliverables require on-location support, including filming original content, supporting studio and on-set productions, and capturing footage at in-person events. These activities will primarily take place in New York City, so we will give preference to candidates based in the NYC area who can provide on-site support as needed.

COMPENSATION

This is a 6-month part-time contract (25 hours/month), with the possibility of extension. The monthly retainer is $3,000–$5,000, based on experience.

HOW TO APPLY

We usually receive a large number of applications, and our goal is to follow up with you within two weeks. You’ll hear from us either way. Here’s what you can expect from the rest of our hiring process:

1. Hiring manager interview

2. Panel Interview

We’ll keep you informed through every step. To get started, complete this application, including a cover letter and answers to the questions on the next page. We read every single application, and your cover letter and responses help put your experience into context.

Kit is an equal opportunity employer

We value diversity in all of its forms. Research tells us that applicants who are female or non-binary, as well as applicants who are people of color, are less likely to apply for roles they do not feel 100% qualified for. If you think you meet more than 50% of our requirements but fewer than 100% of them, please apply.

We’re imperfect communicators, so think of our job postings as the starting point for discussion rather than proof that you shouldn’t apply.

Kit does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, color, religion, age, national origin, marital status, disability, veteran status, genetic information, sexual orientation, gender identity or any other reason prohibited by law in provision of employment opportunities and benefits.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
