Video Editor & Graphic Designer — Remote, Long-Term Contract Role

Our media agency helps business owners and leaders grow their online presence. We strategize, create, and manage videos, graphics, and social media content for our clients. Because every client is different, each piece of content should match their unique voice, style, and brand.

We are looking for a creative, dependable, and efficient Video Editor & Graphic Designer to join our growing team. This is a remote, long-term contract opportunity paid on a per-project basis. We want someone who is highly skilled and has experience editing long-form and short-term video. Each week we will need long-form and short-form videos edited, and graphics created for our clients.

This role is ideal for someone who produces excellent work, follows instructions carefully, responds quickly, meets deadlines consistently, and communicates proactively. We are looking for someone who is truly on top of their assignments and can deliver polished first drafts with strong attention to detail. Our goal is not to repeatedly request revisions for avoidable mistakes, missed instructions, or quality issues. We care about creativity, but excellence, reliability, ownership, and communication are equally important.

• Has reliable internet, sufficient storage, and the equipment needed to edit consistently
• Is interested in a stable, long-term position with room to grow

Experience with Adobe Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro, After Effects, CapCut, Canva, Photoshop, or similar editing and design software is preferred.

Experience working with personal brands, founders, podcasts, or social media agencies is a plus.
