Video Editor

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Colombia.

📋 Description

• Take charge of post-production while collaborating closely with the founder.

• Transform approximately 20-minute conversational recordings into polished short-form videos, mainly for Instagram and Facebook.

• Convert conversational footage into concise short-form stories featuring compelling hooks, clear structure, and engaging pacing.

• Utilize messaging guidance to pinpoint the most impactful moments and construct complete narratives without the need for detailed, step-by-step editing instructions.

• Maintain each client’s voice, personality, and intended message while eliminating repetition, tangents, and distractions.

• Incorporate accurate captions, thoughtful framing, B-roll, punch-ins, and supporting visuals only when they enhance clarity or engagement.

• Provide clean audio and polished, platform-ready videos, ensuring subtitles, visual elements, and overall flow are checked before handoff.

• Manage ongoing content and revisions for 4-6 clients, producing approximately 3-4 completed videos daily within the expected turnaround time.

• Adjust editing style to suit each client.

• Proactively take initiative on next steps, identify unclear messaging or delivery risks early, and implement feedback to reduce the need for extensive direction in future edits.

⛳️ Requirements

• A portfolio showcasing Instagram Reels and related content such as talking-head videos, interviews, podcasts, founder presentations, executive content, thought leadership, or personal branding.

• Relevant professional video editing experience; ideally 3-5 years, including at least 2 years in social content, although candidates with 1-2 years and an outstanding portfolio are encouraged to apply.

• Expertise in CapCut, with solid foundations in captions, pacing, framing, B-roll, punch-ins, basic audio cleanup, and finishing techniques.

• Strong instincts for short-form storytelling, including an understanding of what makes viewers stop scrolling, what content should be included in the edit, and how to enhance a message without making the speaker seem artificial.

• Excellent comprehension and communication skills in English, including the ability to grasp conversational nuances and maintain the speaker’s intended meaning.

• Proven initiative and independent judgment, with the capability to manage ongoing edits, revisions, and delivery deadlines without waiting for detailed guidance.

• Comfort in working directly with a founder without a creative team, responding positively to feedback, and working Monday to Friday on Central Time.

• Previous experience collaborating directly with a founder or in a startup environment is highly preferred.

• Experience using Descript is strongly preferred.

• Background in editing for personal brands, consultants, coaches, marketing or content agencies, podcast creators, or professional-service and local business owners.
