About the Role
What you'll do
Short-form editing (TikTok, Reels, Shorts, Facebook)
- Edit a high volume of vertical short-form videos (roughly 30–90 seconds) built to stop the scroll in the first 1–3 seconds.
- Cut for each platform's native style: pacing, captions, safe zones, aspect ratios, trending audio and formats.
- Turn raw footage, founder content, creator clips and transformation shoots into multiple hook and format variations per concept.
- Repurpose long-form episodes into clips, carousels-to-video and cutdowns without losing the story.
Long-form editing (YouTube and Facebook)
- Edit 8–30+ minute YouTube videos with strong story structure, retention-driven pacing, B-roll, music and sound design.
- Build intros, chapter breaks, lower thirds and end screens that keep viewers watching.
- Collaborate on thumbnails and titles with an eye on click-through and retention.
Motion graphics and AI generation
- Create motion graphics, animated text, transitions and branded templates in After Effects.
- Stay current on new AI video tools and pitch ways to use them to ship faster or try new formats.
Workflow and ownership
- Own projects from brief to delivery: organize footage, edit, self-QA, export platform-ready files and hand off on time.
- Maintain and improve our editing systems: project templates, file naming, folder structures, presets, LUTs, caption styles and export settings.
- Track work in our project management tool (ClickUp), updating status as each piece moves through the pipeline.
- Turn around revisions quickly and fold feedback into future edits without being told twice.
How we work
- Fully remote, async-first. Briefs, footage and feedback live in shared drives, Frame.io and ClickUp, so work keeps moving across time zones.
- Daily overlap. A short daily check-in during your overlap window with Pacific Time, plus written updates on what shipped and what's blocked.
