Day in and day out, we propel some of the biggest brands in the world to the intersection of attention and culture. In APAC, we are proudly +300, servicing a diverse client all around the region.

THE OPPORTUNITY / THE PITCH

Our amazing consulting team is looking forward to collaborating with a “people first” Veditor in our growing APAC market. This is a Freelance role based in Malaysia.

As a Veditor, you are not just an editor - you are an algorithm-fluent performance creative. You understand that great content isn’t finished at export; it’s finished when it performs. You live at the intersection of culture, platform, and execution, and you know how to turn good creative into scalable content through iteration, optimization, and testing.

THE RESPONSIBILITIES / THE TASK AT HAND

• Create content that makes impactful connections with consumers, measured by high attention metrics (views, likes, comments, shares, retention).

• Serve as an algorithm-fluent editor with deep expertise in hooks, pacing, structure, and retention across social platforms — owning the DJ-ing, remixing, and optimization of content to drive scalable performance.

• Take principal accountability for performance tuning and platform success, continuously optimizing creative to unlock stronger results.

• Edit and assemble raw footage into polished final videos, ensuring assets are natively optimized for platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube — with a performance-creative mindset, not post-production only.

• Stay up to date with platform algorithms, emerging formats, creator trends, and editing techniques to keep content fresh, relevant, and competitive in-feed.

• Bring ideas to the table and actively participate in ideation, while recognizing that the core value of the role is making the work work through execution and iteration.

• Collaborate effectively with teammates and cross-functional departments on rapid-fire requests and tight timelines.

• Attend creative brainstorms, kickoffs, and team meetings, contributing meaningful ideas and helping shape performance-driven strategy.

• Mentor Creators and, in some cases, Art Directors and Copywriters across the agency — following the leadership of your A/CD to guide best practices in ideation, execution, and performance optimization.

REQUIRED SKILLS & EXPERIENCE

• 3–5 years of professional creative experience, with a demonstrable passion for making content across platforms — social, streaming, AR, music, film, interactive, etc.

• Proven experience as a video editor, preferably within advertising, digital media, or a related field.

• Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, especially Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Photoshop.

• Extraordinary content creation skills with the ability to execute from start to finish, including video and motion design.

• Strong understanding of social platform best practices and performance metrics.

• Responsible, accountable, and a self-starter who demonstrates initiative.

• Strong collaboration skills, with the ability to work cross-functionally and foster positive team dynamics.

What you should know about VaynerMedia

Think “lab” and not “agency”. We get excited about solving business problems, not creating advertising for the sake of making advertising. Our entrepreneurship DNA runs deep. We’re willing to break rules, try new things, and test hypotheses if it means better understanding our craft. It’s fun!

Our environment (and pace) feels much more like a start-up than most agencies you might be used to. Hopefully that, and the opportunity to collaborate with the talented and enthusiastic crew, work with big brands excites you, as it does us. We can’t wait to meet you.
