About the Role

We’re hiring a Video Editor to create high-performing, engaging video content across social media, marketing, and training.

This is not just editing — this is storytelling + performance.

You’ll take raw footage and turn it into:

• Scroll-stopping short-form videos
• Clean, professional long-form content
• Conversion-driven marketing assets

If you understand pacing, hooks, and retention, you’ll do well here.

What You’ll Own

Editing & Storytelling (Core Focus)

• Edit videos using:

  • Adobe Premiere Pro
  • Final Cut Pro
  • DaVinci Resolve

  • Short-form (Reels, TikTok, Shorts)
  • Long-form (YouTube, training, explainers)

• Optimize pacing, cuts, and structure for engagement + retention

Graphics, Motion & Visual Enhancements

• Add:

  • Titles
  • Lower thirds
  • Motion graphics

  • Adobe After Effects
  • Canva

• Add music + SFX (licensed properly)

• Perform color correction & grading for a consistent look

Multi-Platform Optimization

• Export for:

  • YouTube
  • TikTok

  • Different aspect ratios (9:16, 1:1, 16:9)
  • Compression, codecs, file size optimization

Collaboration & Feedback

• Work with:

• Iterate quickly (goal: ≤ 2 revision rounds)

Performance-Driven Editing

• Monitor:

  • CTR

• Improve edits based on what actually performs

What Makes You a Strong Fit

• You can edit both:

  • Fast-paced social content
  • Clean corporate videos

What a Typical Day Looks Like

• Organize and prep raw footage
• Edit videos with strong pacing and storytelling
• Add graphics, music, and polish
• Export multiple platform versions
• Collaborate on feedback and revisions
• Track and archive projects properly

In short: you turn raw footage into content people actually watch.

Key Metrics (KPIs)
