Description du poste

We are looking for a skillful video editor that is not only good at video editing, but understands how the current editing trends of social media and meta ads work today.

Your role will be to edit Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Meta video ads for several client accounts. Your commitment will be to complete 25 - 40 videos a month across founder talking-head, product, lifestyle and UGC-style formats.

You work alongside a team of Video Editors, videographers and our creative strategists. Most weeks, the job requires turning shot footages into a batch of finished videos for the content team to post on client accounts.

We judge a video by the performance metrics on the platform. We measure organic Reels by watch time, shares and saves, and we measure ads by the revenue it brings. A good-looking edit that people scroll past in two seconds has not done its job.

What you'll do

• Understand that the hook is the most crucial point of an edit, and build the first three seconds first.
• Make new hook variants and shorter cuts of winning ads for our performance team.
• Edit the body and the CTA according to the briefs provide by the creative strategist team.
• Add captions, text overlays, sound design and simple motion graphics while keeping each edit within the platform's safe zones.
• Deliver the first cut within 24 hours of receiving the footage.
• Keep footage, project files and exports organised on our shared Drive so another editor can find what they need.
• Understand current trend and format references to the team each week.

What you bring

• Your background includes at least two years of editing short-form brand videos.
• Your portfolio shows vertical videos you edited, including at least three that performed, with the numbers and your view on why each one worked.
• You work confidently in Premiere Pro or CapCut, and After Effects experience is a plus.
• A strong sense of pacing helps you judge when to hold a shot and when to cut.
• Your sound design goes beyond choosing a track and covers clean voice levels, room tone and sound effects.
• You take notes well and push back plainly when feedback will hurt the video.
• Clear spoken English is required, while Bahasa Malaysia or Mandarin helps because many of our clients make content in both.
• Experience editing Meta or TikTok ads or using AI tools for captions, cleanup and B-roll is a plus.
