Job description

Video Editor (Full Remote)

Hey there!

We're scouting for a sharp Video Editor to hop on board our buzzing remote crew at iHeartMedia. If you geek out over turning raw clips into binge-worthy stories and can sling edits from your couch (or wherever your laptop lives), let's talk.

This isn't your average desk-drone gig—it's your shot to shape podcasts, promos, and content that hits millions, all while jamming to your own playlist.

Global fulfillment guru by day, Digital marketing rockstar by life!

Responsibilities

• Dive into editing gold: slice and dice footage for everything from snappy social reels to full-blown episodes, with seamless cuts, punchy effects, and pacing that keeps viewers glued.
• Team up with our chill, screen-scattered squad—podcasters, marketers, you name it—to nail the vision, tweaking based on feedback and sprinkling in your creative flair for that extra oomph.
• Juggle quick-turn projects with deeper dives, optimizing for platforms like YouTube, TikTok, or IG, all while keeping things tight on deadlines and budgets.

What we're hoping you bring

• You're a tool-taming pro: Rock-solid with Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and CapCut.
• Bonus if you've dabbled in Envato assets or AI helpers like Opus Clip.
• You've got the eye for epic: Killer storytelling chops, with a knack for pacing, visuals, and syncing audio that makes scenes pop—back it up with 2+ years in video production or agency life.
• Tech smarts are key: Handling 4K exports, multi-platform tweaks, glitch-busting, and basic color/audio fixes without breaking a sweat.
• You're a remote rockstar: Self-starter vibes to thrive in collab mode, communicate like a champ, and roll with quick changes—no hand-holding needed.
• Deadline ninja with growth hunger: You crush tasks on time, own your work, and stay hyped to level up with trends and new tricks.
• Team spirit shines: Even from afar, you're the one dropping helpful notes, brainstorming wild ideas, and keeping the energy high.

Why this could be awesome for you

Total remote liberty—edit from your fave spot (anywhere), just sync those hours to US vibes (Mon‑Fri, 8 hours flexing around 2 PM‑10 PM SAST for EST overlap).

Balance is key.

Plug into a creative hive: Weekly brainstorms, fun edit challenges (like "24‑Hour Magic Makeover"), and a squad that's all about your wins as much as the big shows we're building.

Room to level up: Tackle fresh projects, experiment with cutting‑edge stuff, and watch your role evolve in a spot where your cuts actually move the needle.

Small‑team impact: At iHeartMedia, your edits fuel real hits—no faceless corporate shuffle here.

What we'd love to see from you

A portfolio that slays—link us your reel packed with promos, podcasts, or social edits that show off your range.

Your CV, last 3 months' payslips, and a short, real‑talk blurb on why this editor life with us lights you up (no stuffy cover letters).

Sound like your kind of edit?

Shoot it our way—we're pumped to peek at your work and maybe cut you into the team!
