Video Editor

About the Role

We are looking for a creative, detail-oriented Video Editor who can turn raw footage into polished, engaging content that captures attention and communicates a clear message.

You’ll work across a variety of video formats, including short-form social content, advertisements, promotional videos, educational content, testimonials, and longer-form videos. The ideal candidate understands both the technical side of editing and the creative side of storytelling, pacing, hooks, and audience retention.

Key Responsibilities

  • Edit raw footage into polished, professional videos aligned with brand guidelines and creative direction.
  • Create engaging short-form content for Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and other social platforms.
  • Edit long-form content such as YouTube videos, interviews, podcasts, webinars, and educational content.
  • Build strong hooks and maintain effective pacing to improve viewer engagement and retention.
  • Add captions, graphics, transitions, sound effects, music, B-roll, and other visual elements where appropriate.
  • Perform basic color correction and color grading to maintain a consistent visual style.
  • Clean, mix, and balance audio for professional-quality output.
  • Repurpose long-form footage into multiple short-form pieces of content.
  • Follow creative briefs while also recommending edits and creative approaches that improve the final product.
  • Organize project files, raw footage, graphics, audio, and exported assets efficiently.
  • Manage multiple editing projects and meet agreed-upon deadlines.
  • Incorporate feedback and revisions quickly without sacrificing quality.
  • Stay current with social media editing styles, platform trends, formats, and content best practices.

Required Experience & Skills

  • 2+ years of professional video editing experience.
  • Strong portfolio demonstrating both creative and technical editing ability.
  • Advanced proficiency with Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, or similar professional editing software.
  • Experience editing short-form social media content.
  • Strong understanding of storytelling, pacing, hooks, and viewer retention.
  • Experience with captions, motion graphics, B-roll, transitions, and sound design.
  • Working knowledge of color correction and audio editing.
  • Ability to take raw footage and independently determine how to structure it into an engaging final video.
  • Strong attention to detail and quality control.
  • Ability to follow brand guidelines and maintain consistency across content.
  • Strong organizational and file-management skills.
  • Comfortable receiving feedback and completing revisions.
  • Able to manage multiple projects and deadlines in a remote environment.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with Adobe After Effects or other motion graphics software.
  • Experience creating paid social/video advertisements.
  • Experience editing podcasts or talking-head content.
  • Experience creating thumbnails or basic graphics using Photoshop, Canva, or similar tools.
  • Understanding of YouTube analytics, audience retention, CTR, and social media performance metrics.
  • Experience using AI-assisted video editing or content creation tools.
  • Familiarity with content repurposing workflows.

What We're Looking For

We are not looking for someone who simply cuts clips together. We want an editor who understands why people keep watching.

You should have a strong creative eye and be able to recognize when a video needs a faster cut, stronger opening, better B-roll, cleaner audio, a visual interruption, or a different structure. You should be comfortable working independently while still following the overall creative direction of the brand.

Application Requirements

Please provide:

  • Your portfolio or editing reel.
  • Examples of short-form and long-form videos you personally edited.
  • The editing software you use.
  • A brief explanation of your editing process from receiving raw footage to delivering the final video.
  • Your availability and expected monthly compensation.

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.
