About the Company

Our client is a Dallas-based creative agency that works as a full-service digital brand team for founder-led businesses in lifestyle, hospitality, wellness, and design.

The agency believes its clients are already brand rich, they're just not spending it online. The team shoots, designs, and publishes high-volume, on-brand content for a roster of visually driven brands, and every client is asking for more video.

About the Role

We are looking for a Short-Form Video Editor who can turn raw footage into polished, on-brand Reels, TikToks, and Stories at volume.

You will work across multiple client brands each week, executing from shot lists and footage the team has already captured. This is an execution-focused role where speed, consistency, and brand accuracy matter most. Long-form and narrative storytelling pieces are handled separately; your lane is fast, scroll-stopping short-form content.

This is not a simple assembly role. We are looking for an editor with real brand sense, who can cull footage with taste and judgment and make every piece feel true to each client's identity.

What You'll Do

Short-Form Editing at Volume

• Edit 15 short-form videos per week as a baseline, up to 20 depending on complexity, across 3–5 videos per client.
• Deliver vertical 9:16 edits for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and Stories, with captions burned in.
• Build strong hooks and pacing designed for retention on Instagram and TikTok.

Brand Accuracy & Creative Judgment

• Cull raw footage and choose the shots that best fit each client's brand and the brief.
• Execute from shot lists, briefs, and brand guidelines with minimal back-and-forth.
• Add captions, text overlays, music, and sound that match each brand's look and tone.
• Apply basic color correction and client-specific presets or LUTs for a consistent look.

Quality, Feedback & Organization

• Review your work against the brief before submitting.
• Take feedback once and apply it across the rest of the batch.
• Keep files organized in Google Drive and Notion using the team's naming conventions.

Qualifications

Required

• Proven short-form editing experience with a portfolio of Reels and TikToks.
• Strong brand sense: you can look at a brand guide and inspiration and hit the look.
• Ability to cull footage with taste and judgment, not just assemble it.
• Speed and consistency at volume without sacrificing quality.
• Fluency in platform-native short-form content: trending audio, formats, and what's working on Reels and TikTok right now.
• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro (CapCut is also fine).
• Basic color correction skills: matching shots, fixing exposure and white balance, and natural skin tones.
• Self-review habits and strong attention to detail.
• Strong professional English, both written and spoken, and reliable communication.
• Availability to work full-time overlapping with U.S. Central Time, 9:00 AM–5:00 PM.

Preferred

• Confidence in motion graphics and motion design, especially Adobe After Effects.
• Experience with AI motion generation tools.
• Experience working with LUTs and brand-specific edit templates.
• Agency experience juggling multiple clients at once.
• Experience editing for lifestyle, hospitality, wellness, or design brands.

Tools You'll Use

• Adobe Premiere Pro (team account provided) and/or CapCut
• Adobe After Effects
• Google Drive
• Notion
• Figma
• Instagram and TikTok

How Success Is Measured

• You consistently deliver 15–20 polished short-form videos per week on schedule.
• Your edits are approved with minimal revisions.
• Each client's videos feel true to its brand rather than generic or templated.
• Feedback is applied once and carried across the full batch.
• Files are organized and easy for the team to find.

Why Join Us

• Work with visually driven brands across lifestyle, hospitality, wellness, and design.
• Build a strong short-form portfolio across multiple brand identities.
• Work closely with an experienced creative team and the agency's co-founders.
• Gain hands-on experience with motion design and AI-powered creative tools.
• Work in a fully remote environment with a U.S.-based team.

Important Notes

• Candidates must reside in Latin America.
• A portfolio of short-form video work (Reels and/or TikToks) is required to be considered.
• Candidates must have their own computer capable of editing 4K footage smoothly, plus reliable high-speed internet.
• Availability to work overlapping with U.S. Central Time, 9:00 AM–5:00 PM, is required.
• Shortlisted candidates will complete a test project.
• Please submit your CV in English.
