Remote Video Editor

We're hiring a Video Editor to produce polished, engaging video content across social platforms, ads, and internal communications as we scale toward public launch.

Summary

• Flexible Title: Can tailor to reflect your skills & experience.
• Flexible Time: Can do full-time, part-time, side-gig (off-hours), or fractional (contract).
• Flexible Commitment: Can do short-term, long-term, or intermittent.
• No degree required. Self-taught editors and career changers welcome.

Why so flexible? We're a FUNDED startup racing toward launch. Feel free to jump in, help us ship, then bounce >> or stick around. A successful launch translates into lots of permanent jobs for those that want them. We're also interested in long-term "side gig" relationships, if that's what you're into—in our experience, a few expert hours often beat full-time learning-curve hours.

About Us

We're a credible, funded, remote-first startup backed by a growing team. We're pre-launch and moving fast.

About The Role

We're producing more video content than ever — short-form clips for social, longer explainer and brand videos, ad creative, internal team videos, and investor-facing materials. We need an editor who can take raw footage, screen recordings, and rough assets and turn them into something that looks sharp, holds attention, and gets shared.

You should be comfortable with both short-form (Reels, TikTok, Shorts) and longer formats. Speed matters — we're a startup, not a production studio — but so does quality. If you can deliver clean, engaging edits on tight timelines and know how to make content pop for each platform, you're who we're looking for.

Compensation

Up to $70,000 max total annual compensation in Tier 1 cities; cash and equity components to be negotiated. Given the flexible commitment model, comp will be structured accordingly — fractional or hourly arrangements welcome.

What You'll Do in Your First 7 Days

• You've reviewed our existing video content and brand style
• You've gotten access to raw footage, assets, and editing tools
• You've delivered your first edited piece — a social clip, ad, or explainer segment
• You've attended your first team meeting and understand the content priorities
• The team knows who you are, why you're here, and how you'll work together

What You'll Do Ongoing

• Edit short-form video — cut Reels, TikToks, YouTube Shorts, and social clips that grab attention in the first 2 seconds
• Edit longer-form content — explainer videos, brand videos, investor materials, and internal communications
• Add motion graphics and text overlays — captions, lower thirds, transitions, and light animation to elevate content
• Optimize for each platform — understand aspect ratios, caption placement, pacing, and hooks for different channels
• Iterate quickly — take feedback, turn revisions fast, and keep the content pipeline moving

What We're Looking For

Must-haves:

• Proficient in video editing software (Premiere Pro, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve, or CapCut)
• A portfolio or reel that shows your range — short-form social, longer content, or both
• Understand pacing, storytelling, and what makes people stop scrolling
• Fast turnaround — you can deliver clean edits on tight startup timelines
• Self-directed — you can take a rough brief and deliver a finished product without heavy hand-holding

Nice-to-have:

• Motion graphics or After Effects experience
• Experience editing for social media brands or creators
• Basic sound design or audio mixing skills
• AI-assisted editing tools (Descript, Runway, or similar)
• Comfortable in fast-moving, ambiguous environments

What You're NOT

• Not a videographer — we'll provide the raw footage; you're focused on the edit
• Not a full-time animator — light motion graphics yes, complex animation no
• Not a content strategist — you'll have input on what works, but content direction comes from the team
