Seasoned Short Form Editor

Remote · Contract · Philippine day or evening shift

We don't want to manage you. That's the job description. Everything below is detail.

You've been doing this a while. You know what a hook is, you know why the first 1.5 seconds d ---------- whether the rest of your cut matters, and you've matched enough brand guides to know when to follow one and when to tell someone it's fighting the platform.

What we're actually offering

Systems that already exist. Documented SOPs, a brand bible per client, a naming convention, a versioning rule, published turnaround standards, and a task queue with priorities already set before you open it. You will not spend your mornings asking what to work on or hunting for raw footage in someone's Drive.

If you've worked at agencies, you know how rare that is, and you know what the alternative costs you.

The work

Short-form video — Reels, TikToks, paid ad cuts, recuts and resizes — plus the static side: carousels, feed graphics, ad creative, flyers. Multiple clients, multiple brand voices, switched between in the same afternoon.

What seasoned means here

Real experience cutting short-form specifically, not general video with some verticals thrown in
You've shipped volume, you can operate at moderate speed
You've held multiple client brands at once without them bleeding into each other
You think about retention and watch-through, not just whether the cut looks good
You can take a brand you've never seen, study three approved assets, and produce a fourth that belongs next to them
Revisions don't bruise you

Tools

CapCut and DaVinci Resolve. Photoshop and the Adobe suite. Canva. We won't train you on these. We will absolutely train you on our clients.

Who we're looking for

We're hiring for a seat, not a project. We'd rather train one person properly over several years than churn through six editors in one. As we grow, the people who grew with us get first claim on what comes next.

You tell the truth about your work. If you missed a deadline, you say so before we find out. If the brief didn't make sense, you say that too, instead of guessing and hoping. We've never been upset with someone for saying "I don't know how to do this yet." We have been upset with silence.

You communicate without being chased. A short message saying what's done, what's stuck, and what you need is worth more than an hour of perfect work we didn't know was happening. Going quiet is the fastest way to lose this job.

You get better on purpose. You watch how other editors cut, you notice when a format is shifting, you bring an idea occasionally instead of only executing.

You move without being pushed. Empty queue, you say so. Something obviously broken, you flag it. Finished early, you ask what's next. That instinct is most of what we mean by independent, and you either have it or you don't.

You take criticism as information. Your work gets reviewed and you'll be told plainly when something misses. Editors who take feedback as an insult burn out fast. Editors who take it as data get very good, very quickly.

What we give back: honest feedback, consistent on-time pay, clear briefs, and real autonomy inside your shift. We won't ask you to pretend to be busy. If you're good, we'll keep you for years and grow the role around you.
