Cut Scroll-Stopping Edits for Fast-Growing Brands

We’re hiring a remote cinematic video editor who can turn raw footage into high-converting short-form content for SaaS, DTC, and creator brands. If you live in timelines, sound design, and micro-transitions, this funnel is your audition.

Fully remote · 20–40 hrs/week · Paid test project for shortlisted editors

The Role

Own the edit from raw footage to final export.

Most of our projects are short-form edits for Reels, YouTube Shorts, and performance creatives.

  • Edit 8–20+ short-form videos per week depending on scope

  • Clean captions, kinetic typography, and subtle transitions

  • Versioning for different platforms and aspect ratios

  • Edit out bad takes. Use the video scripts to guide the motion graphics & captions

You’ll be a great fit if…

  • You have experience in video editing, motion graphics & short form content

  • You understand pacing for direct-response & social content

  • You’re fluent in Premiere Pro, Final Cut, or DaVinci Resolve

  • You’re comfortable working with templates & brand guidelines

  • You welcome constructive feedback and version fast

Nice to have: motion graphics experience, familiarity with paid social metrics (hook rate, retention, CTR), and comfort editing in English.

Compensation is project-based with a clear per-deliverable rate card. Top editors typically earn a strong full-time-equivalent income with us.
