Short-Form Video Editor (Remote, Full-Time, Long-Term)

Company: Banner Mountain Media
Location: Remote
Role: Short-Form Video Editor
Commitment: Full-Time, Long-Term

About Us

Banner Mountain Media is a U.S.-based video production and marketing agency serving home-service businesses, real estate firms, and architecture studios. We shoot real footage in the field and turn it into short-form content and paid ad creative that gets results for clients.

Role Overview

You take raw footage and briefs from our team and turn them into scroll-stopping short-form content: Reels, TikToks, YouTube Shorts, and paid ad creative. You understand pacing, hooks, and what makes someone stop scrolling in the first two seconds, and you can execute fast and consistently without losing quality.

This role requires consistent availability, reliable performance, and a long-term commitment.

Responsibilities

Edit raw footage into finished short-form content: cutting, pacing, text overlays, sound design, and platform-specific formatting.

Follow creative briefs precisely, including hook direction, on-screen text, and CTA placement.

Turn around edits on a consistent schedule without sacrificing quality.

Flag when footage or a brief has a problem before it becomes a bigger issue.

Stay current on short-form trends (Reels, TikTok, Shorts) and bring ideas, not just execution.

Required Skills & Experience

A real portfolio you can show us with your application, not "available on request." Link it in your first message.

Hands-on short-form editing experience: Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, or similar.

Proficiency in Premiere Pro, CapCut, or similar professional editing software.

Understanding of pacing, hooks, and retention: you can explain why a cut works, not just make it.

Comfortable following detailed briefs and taking direction without losing your own editorial judgment.

Stable high-speed internet and full-time availability with US business-hours overlap.

Preferred (but not required)

Motion graphics or basic animation skills.

Experience editing for paid ads specifically (not just organic content).

AI editing tools (CapCut AI or similar) used to speed up your workflow.

Color grading or sound design beyond the basics.

What We Provide

Real footage from real client shoots, not stock content.

Consistent monthly workload and stable long-term projects.

Clear briefs and direct feedback from our creative team.

Direct communication with the founder and the rest of the team.

Competitive monthly compensation based on experience and performance.

How to Apply
