Job Description

Responsibilities

Edit a minimum of 30 pieces of content per week — primarily short-form vertical video (ads, social clips, talking-head content, before/after project footage)
Cut raw client footage into polished, caption-ready edits with strong hooks, tight pacing, and clean audio
Produce multiple variations of winning ads (new hooks, new CTAs, new openers) for A/B testing
Format deliverables correctly for Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube placements
Work directly with media buyers to understand which creatives are performing and iterate on winners
Turn copywriters' scripts and hooks into finished video
Manage your queue through the team's project management system and hit deadlines without chasing
Maintain organized project files, brand assets, and templates for each client
Apply client branding consistently (logos, colors, fonts, end cards)
Self-review every edit before delivery — clean captions, no dead frames, correct aspect ratios

Requirements

2+ years of hands-on video editing experience
Deep proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and/or CapCut — fast enough in your tool of choice to hit 6 finished edits per day
A portfolio of short-form edits: ads, reels, TikToks, or YouTube Shorts
Strong instincts for hooks, pacing, and retention — you edit for the viewer who's about to scroll away
Experience creating captions/subtitles and editing for sound-off viewing
Organized, deadline-driven, and consistent — volume work requires systems, not heroics
Reliable home office setup with an editing-capable computer and stable, high-speed internet
Availability for a consistent Monday–Friday full-time schedule with at least 3–4 hours of overlap with U.S. Pacific business hours for team communication (the rest of your day is flexible)

Preferred

Experience using AI tools in your workflow (Runway, Descript, ElevenLabs, CapCut AI features, Midjourney, HeyGen, or similar) — we love editors who use AI to go faster without losing quality
After Effects / motion graphics skills
Experience editing direct-response ad creative with measurable results
Experience with home services, construction, or local business content
Thumbnail or static creative design skills (Canva, Photoshop)

Benefits

Performance bonuses tied to creative performance and output consistency
HMO coverage on your terms — after 90 days, choose the HMO plan that fits you (and your family), and we cover it through a monthly healthcare benefit. You pick the provider; we pay for it.
Fully remote, full-time position
Growth path into a Senior Editor / Creative Lead role as the team scales
Work with a fast-moving U.S.-based marketing team in the home service industry

Filipino Contractors

The US tax treaty with the Philippines, along with the independent contractor rules in the Philippines, make it fairly straight-forward for small businesses in the US to hire Filipino contractors. We aim to remove the mystery and confusion so that a small business owner (or larger company) can easily find and select a contractor to complete many types of tasks that can be done remotely. Most Filipinos speak very good English, are tech savvy, and are eager to please. We also help both sides understand each other's unique cultures, expectations, and work styles. However, we are not an employment agency. We do not employ the contractors for our clients. Our clients simply leverage our website to source, attract, and select the contractor(s) that they need for the various initiatives and projects that they need to complete.
