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

- 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

- Add music + SFX (licensed properly)
- Perform color correction & grading for a consistent look
Multi-Platform Optimization

- Compression, codecs, file size optimization
Collaboration & Feedback

- Iterate quickly (goal: ≤ 2 revision rounds)
Performance-Driven Editing

- Engagement
- CTR
- Improve edits based on what actually performs
What Makes You a Strong Fit

- 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

- Strong proficiency in:
- Adobe Premiere Pro / Final Cut Pro / DaVinci Resolve
- Experience with:

What a Typical Day Looks Like
- Organize and prep raw footage
- Edit videos with strong pacing and storytelling
- 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.
Key Metrics (KPIs)
