Job description

Video Editor job at Suarez Assistant. Miami, FL.

About the Role

We are looking for a self-directed, highly skilled, and proactive Video Editor who can create high-performing content for a personal founder brand and a skin/e-commerce product line.

Your biggest value in this role is your ability to think for yourself, make creative decisions without being micromanaged, and continuously learn modern editing, storytelling, and direct response techniques.

The goal: give the founder real leverage by taking raw assets and turning them into polished videos that drive growth, engagement, and sales — consistently.

You should understand that great editing is not just technical — it’s strategic. You’ll be repurposing long‑form content, building stories, improving the hook, and adding direct‑response angles that make the content banger-level.

Key Responsibilities

• Edit high-quality short-form videos for Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.
• Independently identify the best clips, hooks, and angles to use without needing step‑by‑step instructions.
• Take talking‑head footage and turn it into dynamic, high‑retention videos.
• Clip, repurpose, and format podcast segments for short‑form distribution.
• Review raw assets and proactively recommend stronger edits, storylines, or pacing.
• Build and follow direct response–style scripts when provided.
• Add captions, animations, and transitions using modern editing trends.
• Edit both personal brand storytelling videos and product-focused e-commerce content.
• Apply (or learn quickly) direct response marketing principles: hooks, pattern interrupts, CTAs, audience psychology.
• Ensure high‑quality English for captions, text, and storytelling.
• Manage your own workflow, meet deadlines, and maintain consistent weekly output.

Qualifications

• 2+ years of short‑form video editing experience.
• Strong portfolio showing both personal brand and/or e‑commerce editing.
• Proven ability to take ownership of edits without constant supervision.
• Excellent command of English for captions and storytelling.
• Understanding of modern content pacing, trends, and retention strategies.
• Experience creating content for founders, influencers, or DTC brands is a plus.
• Willing to learn direct response marketing and apply it to edits.
• Strong instinct for storytelling, hooks, pacing, and viewer psychology.
• Organized, reliable, and output‑driven.

What We’re Looking For Above All

• A thinker, not a task-taker.
• Someone who can watch raw footage and independently decide what will perform best.
• A fast learner.
• Someone who studies viral content, improves quickly, and implements feedback fast.
• Someone who brings leverage.
• You don’t just edit — you help make the content _perform_.
• High English fluency.
• Clear, clean captions and natural storytelling.
• Someone who cares about quality _and_ speed.
• Consistent weekly output is essential.
