AI Video Editor (BBS951)

We're looking for an AI Video Editor to own AI-driven short-form video creative for a well-established clinical skincare brand with a strong presence across Southeast Asia. You will start from a script or outline for each video, storyboard it from the brand's product and video catalog, and turn it into finished social content in the style beauty brands are producing with AI today, matched to the brand's look. Sometimes the starting point will be a vague concept, and you will turn that into a finished video too.

This role sits closer to a creative director or creative manager who also makes the work than to a pure editor. The brand team is short on capacity, which is why they are hiring overseas, so they need someone self-sufficient who does not need babysitting. You will study the brand's website and Instagram on your own, pick up its look and voice quickly, and get it right the first time. Constant rework costs time and AI generation credits, so a fast read on the brand matters. If you are fluent in AI video editing, have the tools you need, and can take a loose idea to a polished, on-brand video without hand-holding, this role is a strong fit.

Why You'll Want to Join

• You will be paid in USD (bi-monthly: every 15th and 30th)
• Paid Time Off in accordance with company policy
• Observance of Holidays per company guidelines
• 100% remote setup so you can work wherever you're most productive
• Work on content for a globally recognized skincare brand with an active and growing Southeast Asian social media presence
• High-ownership creative role with real autonomy over concept, storyboard, and finished output

What You'll Work On

Creative Direction and Storyboarding

• Start from a script or outline for each video and develop it into a clear concept and storyboard
• Take a vague video concept and turn it into a finished video without waiting for detailed direction
• Storyboard from the brand's product and video catalog so every video is grounded in real products and existing brand assets
• Study the brand's website and Instagram on your own to understand its look, tone, and audience, and apply it correctly the first time

AI Video Production

• Produce AI-driven short-form videos for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and other platforms in the style beauty and skincare brands are publishing now, matched to the brand's look
• Use AI video and image tools fluently across ideation, generation, editing, and finishing
• Cut, reformat, and enhance assets into finished, platform-ready content with motion graphics, text overlays, transitions, music, and sound design
• Produce approximately 100 finished videos per month consistently and on schedule
• Do not use AI to generate human faces, skin, or realistic human imagery of any kind; all human and skin visuals must come from brand-provided assets

Quality, Efficiency, and Self-Management

• Get the brand right the first time to avoid constant rework that burns time and AI generation credits
• Work with your own AI tools and platforms and keep your workflow current as new tools emerge
• Run your own projects with minimal supervision and flag asset gaps or brief issues early
• Organize files and deliver finished videos in the correct formats for each platform

Requirements

What You Bring

• Fluency in AI video editing and generation tools, with a portfolio of AI-driven short-form content
• Proven ability to take a vague concept and turn it into a finished, on-brand video
• Creative direction instincts including concepting, storyboarding, and the taste to make confident creative decisions
• Ability to study a brand's website and social presence and quickly absorb its look and voice
• Self-sufficiency: you need little training and do not need babysitting
• Your own AI tools and platforms, ready to use from day one
• Strong short-form editing skills in Adobe Premiere Pro, CapCut, DaVinci Resolve, or similar platforms
• Understanding of the limits on AI use, including no AI-generated human faces or skin
• Speed and efficiency at high volume without sacrificing quality
• Organized and reliable with consistent on-time delivery
• Available to work during Southeast Asia business hours

Nice to Have

• Beauty, premium skincare, or makeup experience, since those candidates tend to know how to tell the story
• Experience creating AI content for beauty or consumer lifestyle brands
• Mandarin language skills for supporting Chinese-language content production
• Familiarity with Southeast Asian social media audiences and platform trends
• Experience with motion graphics or basic animation for social media content
• Background producing content for Instagram Reels or TikTok at scale

How to Apply

Please include:

1. Your updated resume
2. A portfolio link showing at least 4 to 6 finished AI-driven short-form videos, ideally in a beauty or premium consumer style
3. A short Loom video (1 to 2 minutes) introducing yourself, describing your AI video workflow and tools, and walking through one video you took from a vague concept to a finished piece, including your storyboard and creative decisions

Shortlisted candidates will complete a short homework assignment: take a loosely defined video concept and turn it into a finished video.

Only candidates who submit both a portfolio and Loom video will be moved to the next step of the hiring process.

If you are a self-sufficient creative who can turn a loose idea into an on-brand AI video without hand-holding, this role gives you the autonomy and the direct impact to do your best work.
