Job description

Octopos is the operating system for growth for independent grocery and retail stores in the United States. Along with point of sale, we give store owners tools to grow revenue and profit: rewards and loyalty, AI marketing, predictive inventory, and product cost and revenue analysis. We're hiring a full-time Video Editor & Content Producer to turn raw footage into content that makes US store owners stop scrolling. This is a remote role from India.

You'll own the full editing pipeline and our content templates. Over time this role can grow into Content Lead.

Responsibilities

• Edit short-form vertical videos (Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Facebook) with strong hooks, tight pacing, and accurate captions.
• Find the story in raw footage: pull the best 20-60 seconds from long, unscripted interviews with store owners.
• Produce customer success stories and testimonial videos (60-120 seconds) and longer YouTube case studies.
• Repurpose every shoot into a week of content: reels, cut-downs, quote graphics, thumbnails, and stills.
• Clean up audio from noisy store environments and make speech clear, including speakers with accents.
• Build and maintain reusable brand templates: caption styles, intros, outros, lower thirds, and motion graphics.
• Use AI and agentic tools to speed up transcription, clip selection, captioning, and versioning.
• Track how content performs and adjust the next batch based on retention, views, and engagement.
• Work with the Marketing Manager on shot lists so footage arrives ready to edit.
• Hit a weekly output target (for example, 15 reels and 2 customer stories) with overnight turnaround on priority edits.

Requirements

• 3+ years editing B2C or brand content, with a portfolio of short-form vertical videos and real performance numbers (views, retention).
• A strong story instinct: you can find the moment that matters in unscripted footage.
• Experience editing testimonials, interviews, or documentary-style content.
• Fluency with content for a US audience: tone, humor, pacing, and platform trends.
• Solid audio cleanup and captioning skills.
• Hands-on use of AI and agentic tools in your daily workflow, not just awareness of them.
• Good written English and clear async communication.
• Reliability: you hit deadlines without being chased.

Preferred

• Motion graphics in After Effects or similar.
• Experience with small business, retail, food, or SaaS brands.
• Basic thumbnail and graphic design skills.
• Familiarity with platform analytics on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.
