We're looking for a Video Editor to produce high-quality video content across a range of formats and use cases for a fast-moving boutique growth marketing agency.

This is a hands-on execution role. You will be in the tools every day, turning raw footage and briefs into finished, polished deliverables. Strong editing instincts, clean motion work, and the ability to work across formats and styles simultaneously are the baseline. If you are a fast, versatile video editor who takes pride in the craft and can deliver consistently across a range of content types without losing quality or momentum, this role is a strong fit.

• Paid Time Off in accordance with company policy
• Observance of Holidays per company guidelines
• 100% remote setup so you can work wherever you're most productive
• This role requires availability during US business hours
• Work inside a boutique growth marketing agency serving ambitious AI and SaaS companies with high creative standards
• High-ownership editing role with real variety across formats, clients, and content types

What You'll Work On

Video Editing and Post-Production

• Edit raw footage into polished, finished video deliverables across a range of formats including short-form social content, paid ad creative, explainers, and brand videos
• Work from briefs, storyboards, or reference examples and deliver outputs that match the intended style, tone, and performance objective
• Apply sound judgment on pacing, cuts, transitions, and structure to produce videos that hold attention and communicate clearly
• Incorporate feedback efficiently and deliver revisions without losing quality or creating unnecessary back and forth

Motion Graphics and Visual Enhancement

• Add motion graphics, text animations, lower thirds, and visual effects as needed to support the edit
• Apply color grading and color correction to ensure a consistent, professional look across all deliverables
• Source and incorporate licensed music, sound effects, and audio treatments that fit the content and intended platform
• Maintain visual consistency within client brand systems across all video output

Asset and Project Management

• Manage project files, raw footage, and finished assets in an organized, accessible way throughout every project
• Keep deliverables on schedule and communicate proactively if a timeline is at risk
• Maintain clear version control and file naming so the team can always find the right asset quickly

Platform and Format Optimization

• Size and format video deliverables correctly for each platform and placement including social feeds, stories, paid placements, and web
• Stay current on platform specifications, video trends, and format best practices across major channels
• Adapt content across formats efficiently without starting from scratch on every variant

What You Bring

• Proven video editing experience with a portfolio showing finished work across multiple formats and styles
• Proficiency across a combination of editing tools such as Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, CapCut, DaVinci Resolve, or similar platforms
• Strong motion graphics and basic animation skills with the ability to produce clean text animations and visual enhancements independently
• Solid understanding of pacing, storytelling, and what makes a video hold attention across different formats and audiences
• Organized and reliable with strong project management habits and consistent on-time delivery
• Fast and efficient without sacrificing quality — comfortable working across multiple projects simultaneously
• Clear communicator who flags issues early and incorporates feedback without friction

Nice to Have

• Experience editing paid social ad creative with an understanding of what drives performance on Meta, TikTok, YouTube, or LinkedIn
• Background working in a marketing agency or creative studio environment
• Familiarity with AI-assisted video editing or production workflow tools
• Experience working with SaaS or technology brand clients
• Motion design skills beyond basic text animation including complex compositing or visual effects work

How to Apply

Please include:

1. Your updated resume
2. A portfolio link showing at least 4 to 6 finished video examples across different formats or styles you have edited
3. A short Loom video (1 to 2 minutes) introducing yourself, walking through one piece of work you are most proud of, and explaining the editing decisions you made and why

Only candidates who submit both a portfolio and Loom video will be moved to the next step of the hiring process.

If you are a fast, versatile editor who takes pride in the craft, delivers consistently across formats, and wants to work inside a high-standard agency environment with real creative variety, this role gives you the volume and the direct impact to do your best work.
