About the Role

We’re hiring a Video Editor to create high-performing, engaging video content across social media, marketing, and training.

This is not just editing — this is storytelling + performance.

You’ll take raw footage and turn it into:

If you understand pacing, hooks, and retention, you’ll do well here.

• Optimize pacing, cuts, and structure for engagement + retention

Graphics, Motion & Visual Enhancements

• Perform color correction & grading for a consistent look

Multi-Platform Optimization

Collaboration & Feedback

What Makes You a Strong Fit

What a Typical Day Looks Like

• Organize and prep raw footage
• Edit videos with strong pacing and storytelling
• Add graphics, music, and polish
• Export multiple platform versions
• Collaborate on feedback and revisions
• Track and archive projects properly

In short: you turn raw footage into content people actually watch.

Key Metrics (KPIs)
