Video Editor

About the Role

We're looking for a fast, creative Video Editor to turn raw footage into scroll-stopping short-form content and high-converting ad videos. You'll edit for social media (TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts), client ads (Google Ads, Meta Ads), and branded content that drives engagement and results.

This role demands speed, aesthetics, and an eye for what actually performs. You'll work closely with content strategists, creatives, and performance marketers to deliver videos that get results.

Key Responsibilities

• Edit short-form video content (15–60 seconds) optimized for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and other social platforms
• Create high-performing ad videos for client campaigns across Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, and other paid channels
• Handle full editing workflow: color grading, sound design, motion graphics, text overlays, captions, and effects
• Work with raw footage, B-roll, music, voiceovers, and graphics to build compelling narratives quickly
• Create multiple cuts and variations of the same video for A/B testing and different platform specs (vertical, square, landscape formats)
• Collaborate with creative directors and strategists on video concepts and ensure brand consistency
• Add captions, subtitles, and text overlays (often required for silent viewing on social media)
• Keep up with platform trends and optimize videos for maximum engagement and shareability
• Meet tight deadlines and deliver polished content consistently across multiple projects
• Manage asset organization, naming conventions, and project files for efficiency and collaboration

What We're Looking For

Technical Skills

• Expert proficiency in at least one professional editing software (DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere Pro, or Final Cut Pro)
• Strong knowledge of motion graphics and effects (Adobe After Effects is a plus)
• Experience with color grading, audio mixing, and sound design for video
• Comfortable exporting for multiple platforms and understanding format requirements (resolution, aspect ratios, file sizes)
• Basic graphic design skills (Figma, Canva, or similar) for creating overlays and titles
• Familiarity with captions/subtitles tools (Rev, Descript, or similar are helpful but not required)

Experience & Portfolio

• 1–3 years of video editing experience (short-form and ad video experience is a strong plus)
• Proven portfolio with examples of TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, or social media content
• Examples of high-performing ads or content that drove engagement/conversions (if available)
• Track record of delivering fast, high-quality work under tight deadlines

Mindset & Work Style

• Creative eye — you understand what works on social media and why videos go viral
• Speed without sacrificing quality — you can turn around edits fast while maintaining high production value
• Adaptable — you work with different styles, trends, and client briefs seamlessly
• Detail-oriented — you catch timing issues, audio sync problems, and visual inconsistencies
• Collaborative — you take direction well and communicate when you need clarification
• Always learning — you stay on top of editing trends, new tools, and platform best practices

Nice to Have

• Experience with Descript or automated captioning/subtitle tools
• Knowledge of SEO for video (metadata, thumbnails, description optimization)
• Experience editing for different industries (e-commerce, SaaS, beauty, fitness, etc.)
• Basic animation or 3D skills
• Understanding of performance metrics and how edit choices impact engagement (watch time, completion rate, etc.)

What You'll Get

• Work on diverse projects across industries and platforms
• Exposure to latest editing tools, trends, and techniques
• Flexible work setup (remote/hybrid options available)
• Competitive salary with room for growth
• Opportunity to build a portfolio of high-performing content
• Fast-paced, creative environment where your work directly impacts client campaigns
