Compensation: $400–$600 USD/month (based on experience and availability)
Position: Long-Term Opportunity

About Us

We’re a growing US-based media and marketing company looking for a talented, creative, and reliable video editor to join our team!

We create content for multiple brands across estate sales, home cleanouts, entrepreneurship, podcasts, music, and personal brands.

Our videos are primarily published on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook , and YouTube.

We already have an established production team and are looking for another editor to help us increase our content output while maintaining quality.

We’re not looking for someone who simply cuts clips together. We want someone who understands storytelling, pacing, and what makes people stop scrolling.

What You’ll Be Editing

You’ll work on a variety of projects, including:

• Short-Form Videos: Instagram Reels, TikToks, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook Reels.
• Interviews: Customer interviews, team interviews, and talking-head content.
• Business Content: Estate sale previews, home cleanout transformations, before-and-after videos, and promotional reels.
• Podcasts: Engaging clips and highlights from longer conversations.
• Music & Entertainment: Artist promotions, performance clips, and behind-the-scenes content.

Most videos range from 15 seconds to 2 minutes, with occasional longer projects.

Responsibilities

• Edit engaging videos from raw footage.
• Identify strong hooks and select the best clips.
• Add captions, B-roll, music, sound effects, and transitions where appropriate.
• Create videos with strong pacing and storytelling.
• Follow creative briefs and maintain consistent styles across brands.
• Meet deadlines and complete revisions efficiently.
• Communicate proactively with our team.
• Keep project files organized and properly submitted.

Our Workflow & Communication

We have an established production system that every team member is expected to follow.

ClickUp – Task Management

• All editing assignments, deadlines, and instructions are managed in ClickUp.
• Editors must keep task statuses updated and submit completed work for review.

Slack – Daily Communication

• Slack is our primary team communication platform.
• Editors are expected to communicate regularly during their scheduled working hours.
• A brief daily update is required covering completed work, current projects, and any questions or roadblocks.
• If a deadline may be missed, we expect proactive communication.

Dropbox – File Management

• All raw footage, project assets, and finished videos are stored in Dropbox.
• Editors must follow our folder structure and naming conventions.
• Completed videos and relevant project files must be uploaded to the correct folders.

Organization, accountability, and communication are just as important to us as editing ability.

Requirements

• Proven experience editing short-form social media videos.
• Proficiency in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, CapCut Desktop, or similar software.
• Strong understanding of storytelling, hooks, and audience retention.
• Experience with captions, B-roll, music selection, and audio editing.
• Good written English communication skills.
• Reliable internet connection and capable editing computer.
• Ability to work independently, follow instructions, and meet deadlines.
• Willingness to learn and consistently use ClickUp, Slack, and Dropbox.

Bonus Skills:

• Podcast and long-form YouTube editing.
• Motion graphics or After Effects.
• Color grading and audio enhancement.
• Experience editing for US-based businesses.
• Ability to suggest creative content ideas from existing footage.

Editing Style & Expectations

Our content should feel authentic, engaging, and entertaining.

We value clean editing, natural pacing, strong storytelling, and creative decisions that improve the video.

We don’t want unnecessary effects or excessive transitions.

Some videos require polished, detailed editing, while others are simple interviews or promotional clips. Understanding that difference and working efficiently is important.

For straightforward short-form videos, we generally expect a 24–48 hour turnaround, depending on the project.

We value editors who take initiative, communicate clearly, and consistently deliver quality work.

Compensation & Growth

Starting compensation: $400–$600 USD per month.

Final compensation and expected weekly workload will be discussed based on experience, availability, and editing ability.

We’re looking for someone interested in a long-term working relationship.

As our company and content production grow, there will be opportunities for increased compensation and additional responsibilities.
