Job description

Remote Video Editor – Short-Form & Ad Creative

Remote | Colombia-Based | Full-Time Contractor | Paid in USD $6.50 – $9.50 USD/hour (approx. $1,125 – $1,650 USD/month full-time), paid weekly

Editor de video remoto (contrato full-time, pago en dólares) para una agencia de marketing en Estados Unidos.

Can you take raw footage and turn it into a scroll-stopping ad? Do you know why a viewer drops off at second 3 — and how to re-cut the hook so they don't? If editing is your craft and volume doesn't scare you, keep reading.

We're hiring a Video Editor on behalf of a U.S.-based marketing agency serving home service and remodeling brands. You'll produce the video creative that powers real ad campaigns — working alongside a team of media buyers and copywriters whose campaigns live or die on the quality of your edits. When your video converts, everyone sees it in the numbers.

Because Colombia sits on U.S. Central time, you'll work a normal daytime schedule with full overlap with the team — same-day feedback, live creative reviews, no overnight shifts.

This is a production role with real output expectations: a minimum of 30 edited pieces of content per week. If you're fast, consistent, and take pride in clean work at volume, you'll thrive here.

What You'll Do

Editing & Production

• Edit a minimum of 30 pieces of content per week — primarily short-form vertical video (ads, social clips, talking-head content, before/after project footage)

• Cut raw client footage into polished, caption-ready edits with strong hooks, tight pacing, and clean audio

• Produce multiple variations of winning ads (new hooks, new CTAs, new openers) for A/B testing

• Format deliverables correctly for Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube placements

Collaboration

• Work directly with media buyers to understand which creatives are performing and iterate on winners

• Turn copywriters' scripts and hooks into finished video

• Manage your queue through the team's project management system and hit deadlines without chasing

Organization & Quality

• Maintain organized project files, brand assets, and templates for each client

• Apply client branding consistently (logos, colors, fonts, end cards)

• Self-review every edit before delivery — clean captions, no dead frames, correct aspect ratios

What We're Looking For

• 2+ years of hands-on video editing experience

• Deep proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and/or CapCut — fast enough in your tool of choice to hit 6 finished edits per day

• A portfolio of short-form edits: ads, reels, TikToks, or YouTube Shorts

• Strong instincts for hooks, pacing, and retention — you edit for the viewer who's about to scroll away

• Experience creating captions/subtitles and editing for sound-off viewing

• Professional working English (B2+) — briefs, feedback, and captions are in English; the team communicates in English daily

• Organized, deadline-driven, and consistent — volume work requires systems, not heroics

• Reliable home office setup with an editing-capable computer and stable, high-speed internet

• Availability for a consistent Monday–Friday, full-time daytime schedule (Colombia time), overlapping U.S. Pacific business hours

Nice to Have

• Experience using AI tools in your workflow (Runway, Descript, ElevenLabs, CapCut AI features, Midjourney, HeyGen, or similar) — we love editors who use AI to go faster without losing quality

• After Effects / motion graphics skills

• Experience editing direct-response ad creative with measurable results

• Experience editing English-language content for a U.S. audience

• Experience with home services, construction, or local business content

• Thumbnail or static creative design skills (Canva, Photoshop)

What's Included

• $6.50 – $9.50 USD/hour, paid in USD (approx. $1,125 – $1,650 USD/month full-time) — placement in the band depends on speed, skill level, and portfolio, with a formal review at 90 days

• Performance bonuses tied to creative performance and output consistency

• Monthly healthcare benefit after 90 days — a fixed USD stipend you can put toward your EPS/prepaid medicine plan or private coverage of your choice

• Fully remote, full-time independent contractor position

• Daytime hours aligned with U.S. Central time — no night shifts

• Growth path into a Senior Editor / Creative Lead role as the team scales

• Work with a fast-moving U.S.-based marketing team in the home service industry
