About the Role
We’re hiring a Video Editor to create high-performing, engaging video content across social media, marketing, and training.
This is not just editing — this is storytelling + performance.
You’ll take raw footage and turn it into:
* Scroll-stopping short-form videos

* Clean, professional long-form content
* Conversion-driven marketing assets
If you understand pacing, hooks, and retention, you’ll do well here.
What You’ll Own
Editing & Storytelling (Core Focus)
* Edit videos using:
* Adobe Premiere Pro
* Final Cut Pro
* DaVinci Resolve
* Turn raw footage into:
* Short-form (Reels, TikTok, Shorts)
* Long-form (YouTube, training, explainers)
* Optimize pacing, cuts, and structure for engagement + retention
Graphics, Motion & Visual Enhancements
* Add:
* Titles
* Lower thirds
* Motion graphics
* Use tools like:
* Adobe After Effects
* Canva
* Maintain strong brand consistency across videos
Audio & Color Quality
* Clean and balance audio:
* Dialogue clarity
* Noise reduction
* Leveling
* Add music + SFX (licensed properly)
* Perform color correction & grading for a consistent look
Multi-Platform Optimization
* Export for:
* YouTube
* TikTok
* Instagram
* LinkedIn
* Handle:
* Different aspect ratios (9:16, 1:1, 16:9)
* Compression, codecs, file size optimization
Collaboration & Feedback
* Work with:
* Marketing teams
* Creative directors
* Manage feedback using:
* Frame.io
* Iterate quickly (goal: ≤ 2 revision rounds)
Performance-Driven Editing
* Monitor:

* Engagement
* CTR
* Improve edits based on what actually performs
What Makes You a Strong Fit
* You understand hooks, retention, and storytelling
* You can edit both:
* Fast-paced social content
* Clean corporate videos
* You don’t just edit — you improve performance
* You’re fast, organized, and reliable
Required Experience & Skills

* Strong proficiency in:
* Adobe Premiere Pro / Final Cut Pro / DaVinci Resolve
* Experience with:
* Audio syncing & cleanup
* Color correction

What a Typical Day Looks Like
* Organize and prep raw footage

* Add graphics, music, and polish
* Export multiple platform versions
* Collaborate on feedback and revisions
* Track and archive projects properly
In short: you turn raw footage into content people actually watch.
