Do you want to edit videos for top creators and companies?

Apply once. If you've already applied, we'll be reviewing your application! We have multiple video editor jobs. Pick the one that’s most relevant to you. Then, we’ll match you with a client based on your skills.

Who We're Looking For

You're a talented Video Editor & Virtual Assistant who thrives in a fast-paced, content-driven environment. You’re not just cutting footage—you’re telling compelling, visually engaging stories that resonate across platforms like Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, and podcast formats.

You're comfortable working closely with a CEO and can take raw footage—whether it’s a talking head, a podcast clip, or a screen recording—and turn it into polished, professional content that captures attention from the first second. You know how to craft strong hooks, use b-roll effectively, and maintain a consistent visual identity across formats.

You’ve got a sharp eye for detail, excellent file organization habits, and a knack for understanding what performs well across short-form and long-form platforms. If you're experienced with CapCut, enjoy editing talking head-style videos, and have a bonus interest in social media strategy—this role is made for you.

What You’ll Do

• Apply a consistent filter and 4K edits across all videos
• Maintain a sharp focus on talking head footage while slightly blurring the background
• Cut and arrange multiple 1-second clips to create an engaging hook in the first 3 seconds
• Implement upper/lower split-screen video (mixing CEO footage with relevant stock footage)
• Add b-roll, pop-ups, and overlays to support messaging
• Create greenscreen-style videos with background footage relevant to the discussion
• Ensure videos are optimized for Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, and podcast formats
• Format captions, subtitles, and on-screen text for maximum clarity and engagement
• Cut and repurpose long-form content into short-form clips with strong hooks
• Ability to take a long-form video and plan out its release strategy
• Determine which platforms the content should be published on (Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, etc.)
• Plan out accompanying stories, posts, and promotional content
• Social media management experience is a plus

Content Support

• Manage and organize raw footage, b-roll, and project files
• Assist the CEO with content scheduling and basic admin tasks related to video production
• Research and source relevant stock footage for b-roll
• Maintain an organized video library for easy access and reuse

What You’ll Bring

• 4+ years of experience in video editing (CapCut is mandatory)
• Experience with Premiere Pro (or similar software) is preferred
• Strong understanding of motion graphics, transitions, and text overlays
• Deep understanding of Instagram Reels, TikTok, LinkedIn video, and social media trends
• Ability to tell a compelling story visually with fast-paced, engaging edits
• Experience with greenscreen editing and b-roll layering
• Familiarity with color correction, filters, and high-quality 4K video production
• Highly organized with good file management skills
• Ability to create 6-8 videos per week
• Bonus:Experience with social media content strategy or repurposing content for multiple platforms

What You’ll Get

• Work with a team of passionate creative professionals dedicated to producing high-quality video content.
• Competitive salary, benefits, and paid time off.
• The freedom to work remotely from anywhere with reliable WiFi.
• A dynamic work environment filled with diverse, exciting projects that will challenge your creativity.
