We're looking for high-velocity, high-craft remote video editors who want the best brief flow, the best creative team, and the best brand on their reel.
You'll ship 8–12 cuts per week, work async with the U.S. team, and operate on a clear weekly cadence.
About the Role
You'll own paid social video editing for Superpower as part of a 2–3 person remote edit team. You'll inherit a working asset library, a strategist who briefs with hypothesis-tied briefs, and a producer who runs QA. Your job is to ship cuts faster than the strategist can brief.
Key Responsibilities
-
Cut Production: Ship 8–12 cuts per week (UGC reformats, hook variants, paid social cuts, podcast clips, founder-led content); move briefs to v1 in under 48 hours; hit 80%+ pass rate on producer v1 review
-
Brief Execution: Cut to the brief — hook, hold, payoff, CTA, music, pacing. Execute, don't improvise.
-
Repurposing: Turn one UGC submission into 8–12 cuts with different hooks, music, and angles
-
Asset Library: Keep assets tagged, organized, and retrievable — next editor finds anything in 60 seconds
-
Self-QA: Audio levels, color, pacing, captions, safe zones — don't ship anything that needs basic fixes
-
Async Communication: Loom walkthroughs, written notes, clear timestamps in feedback threads — time zone is invisible because of how you work
Qualifications
-
Experience:
-
4+ years editing paid social or short-form video, with at least 2 for a DTC brand or paid social-heavy creator
-
Reel includes paid social cuts with documented performance — winners that scaled
-
Proven async track record with U.S. teams
-
-
Skills:
-
Premiere or Final Cut at expert level; After Effects at intermediate or better
-
Execute a brief without multiple rounds of clarification
-
Self-QA so the producer doesn't have to redo your work
