Video Editor

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

📋 Description

• Editing of raw footage

• Collaborate with various types of raw footage provided by clients, including founder interviews, studio recordings, product visuals, B-roll, user-generated content, screen captures, and event footage, transforming them into paid advertising formats

• Efficiently sort and log raw footage; pinpoint usable takes, engaging hooks, and soundbites

• Create multiple advertisement variations from a single shoot, utilizing different hooks, angles, lengths, and calls to action, ensuring clients have sufficient volume for testing

• Capture attention within the first 1-3 seconds using text overlays, B-roll, jump cuts, and pattern interrupts

• Incorporate captions, text emphasis, B-roll, stock footage, screen captures, and graphic elements that enhance the message

• Develop motion-led advertisements from scratch when raw footage is unavailable, including typography, animated elements, product motion, and data- or text-driven concepts

• Integrate motion into user-generated content and video sales letter cuts to strengthen the message (such as animated statistics, callouts, product features, and comparison frames)

• Edit long-form video sales letter scripts into polished videos, focusing on pacing, visuals, B-roll, graphics, captions, and music

• Understand how to maintain viewer engagement in a video sales letter, preventing drop-offs within the first 60 seconds

• Produce shorter cutdowns of video sales letters for advertising purposes

⛳️ Requirements

• 2–4 years of experience in editing video advertisement content, preferably for platforms like Meta and/or YouTube

• A reel/portfolio demonstrating genuine direct response work, including raw footage cutdowns, user-generated content ads, motion advertisements, video sales letters, and YouTube ads—excluding wedding films, brand sizzles, or long-form content typical of YouTubers

• Highly efficient—capable of delivering ads within hours to a couple of days without compromising quality

• Strong understanding of advertisement pacing, hooks, pattern interrupts, captions, and retention strategies—editing for both algorithms and audience engagement rather than solely client preferences

• Comfortable working with unorganized, messy raw footage, skillfully extracting valuable content from lengthy and disorganized recordings

• Proficient in Premiere Pro and/or DaVinci Resolve, with After Effects experience for motion graphics

• Familiar with captions/subtitle workflows, including automatic captioning tools and manual adjustments, basic color correction, and audio mixing/leveling

• Capable of sourcing and seamlessly integrating stock footage, B-roll, screen captures, and graphic elements

• Strong written communication skills—able to comprehend briefs effectively, ask pertinent questions, and return work with clear annotations

• Self-motivated in a fully remote work environment—managing workloads independently, identifying potential capacity issues early, and meeting deadlines

🏝️ Benefits

• Competitive salary

• Flexible working hours

• Opportunity for professional development

• Work in a dynamic and creative environment

• Collaborate with a talented team of professionals
