About the Role

We’re hiring a Video Editor for long and short-form content to work remotely with a performance marketing agency that creates content for brands across TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube.

You’ll turn founder content, creator clips and transformation shoots into scroll-stopping short-form videos and retention-driven YouTube episodes, owning each project from brief to delivery and using AI tools like Higgsfield AI to ship faster.

The team is fully remote and async-first, working in Frame.io, ClickUp and shared drives, with a short daily check-in during Pacific Time. Expect around 15–25 short-form videos and 1–2 long-form videos per week, with short-form delivered within 24 hours of the brief.

Job Responsibilities

- Long-form: Edit 8–30+ minute YouTube videos with strong story structure, retention-driven pacing, B-roll, music and sound design, and repurpose them into short clips.
- Motion graphics and AI: Create motion graphics, animated text and transitions in After Effects, and use Higgsfield AI to generate shots, B-roll and effects that blend seamlessly with live footage.
- Workflow: Keep projects, templates and files organized, track work in ClickUp and turn revisions around within one business day.

- DTC, beauty, wellness or transformation content experience.
- Agency experience or editing for multiple brands.
- YouTube thumbnail design, DaVinci Resolve color grading or reading retention analytics.

Benefits
