Video Editor

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

📋 Description

• Take ownership of post-production while collaborating closely with the founder, who manages client interactions, filming, and essential messaging direction.

• Transform roughly 20-minute conversational recordings into polished short-form videos, primarily designed for Instagram and Facebook.

• Convert conversational footage into targeted short-form narratives featuring compelling hooks, a clear structure, and engaging pacing.

• Utilize messaging guidance to pinpoint the most impactful moments and create complete narratives without needing detailed, step-by-step 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 supplementary visuals to enhance clarity or engagement when beneficial.

• Deliver pristine audio and polished, platform-ready videos, ensuring subtitles, visual elements, and overall flow are checked before handover.

• Organize recurring content and revisions across 4-6 clients, achieving approximately 3-4 completed videos per day within the expected turnaround time.

• Tailor editing style to each client instead of applying a uniform approach to every speaker or brand.

• Proactively take initiative on subsequent steps, identify unclear messaging or delivery risks early, and incorporate feedback to minimize direction needed for future edits.

⛳️ Requirements

• A portfolio showcasing Instagram Reels and relevant content such as talking-head, interviews, podcasts, founder, executive, thought-leadership, or personal-brand material.

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

• Proficiency in CapCut, demonstrating strong fundamentals in captions, pacing, framing, B-roll, punch-ins, basic audio cleanup, and finishing techniques.

• Strong instincts for short-form storytelling, encompassing an understanding of why viewers stop scrolling, what content is essential for editing, and how to enhance a message without making the speaker seem artificial.

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

• Proven initiative and independent judgment, with the organizational skills to manage ongoing edits, revisions, and deadlines without requiring detailed instructions.

• Comfort collaborating directly with a founder in the absence of a creative team, responding constructively to feedback, and working Monday to Friday on Central Time.

• Prior experience working directly with a founder or in a startup environment is strongly preferred.

• Experience with Descript is highly desirable.

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

• Familiarity with adapting videos for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn, or other social media platforms.

• Knowledge of Premiere Pro or similar professional editing software is a plus.

🏝️ Benefits

• Access to a $200K+ perk marketplace offering discounts on over 150 global services.

• Option to withdraw up to 50% of approved earnings before payday.
