If you enjoy thoughtful, craft-driven editing and like working with people who care about the details, you’ll feel at home here. We’re looking for a Video Editor who can take raw footage and shape it into ads that make people stop, watch, and understand the message clearly. Most of your work will be short-form videos for YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook, working closely with strategists, designers, and copywriters to bring ideas to life.
This role suits someone who likes clean edits, clear communication, and collaboration. Your portfolio matters more than credentials — we care about skill, taste, and how you think through creative decisions.
What You'll Do
- Edit video ads and short-form content that match campaign goals and brand tone.
- Work closely with strategists and designers to bring concepts to life.
- Create clean, engaging cuts that support the message and doesn’t distract from it.
- Prepare variations for different platforms and placements.
- Keep projects organized and communicate clearly about timelines and needs.
- Stay curious about new editing styles, platform trends, and creative approaches.
- Contribute ideas and feedback during creative discussions.
Who This Role Fits
- You’re fluent in what’s current and know how to use it well: You stay updated on what’s trending across platforms, from subtle editing styles to meme-driven formats.
- You don’t just copy trends. You interpret them, adjust them, and use them when they help the story or the outcome.
- You’re comfortable shifting between native, playful content and more polished, brand-aligned videos.
- You understand timing, pacing, and cultural cues and you know when to keep things simple.
- You’re a clear, thoughtful editor: you understand pacing, structure, and how to guide attention.
- You know when to add flair and when to get out of the way.
- You enjoy working with a team, taking in feedback, and improving your craft.
- You ask questions when something’s unclear.
- You stay open to learning new styles, formats, and techniques.
Must-haves Skills & Experience
- A portfolio that shows strong short-form editing work
- Comfortable editing for paid social and YouTube
- Ability to follow creative direction and brand guidelines
- Strong communication and organization
- Ability to work independently in a remote setup
- Basic understanding of how video affects performance (hooks, pacing, clarity)
