About the Role

We're looking for a Video Editor who knows how to create videos that people actually watch until the end.

This role goes beyond cutting clips—you understand storytelling, pacing, retention editing, sound design, and platform-specific best practices. You'll work closely with our Senior Marketing Manager to transform raw footage into engaging long-form and short-form content that performs across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and LinkedIn.

What You'll Do

  • Edit long-form YouTube videos focused on audience retention and watch time.
  • Create engaging short-form content for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and LinkedIn.
  • Turn raw footage into polished, high-quality videos that align with our brand.
  • Use jump cuts, punch-ins, B-roll, motion graphics, captions, overlays, and visual effects to maximize engagement.
  • Optimize YouTube videos with strong pacing, chapters, and retention-focused editing techniques.
  • Add music, sound effects, transitions, and audio enhancements to improve the viewing experience.
  • Collaborate with the Senior Marketing Manager and copywriters to bring content ideas to life.
  • Stay up to date with editing trends while maintaining brand consistency.

Must-Have Skills

  • 3+ years of professional video editing experience.
  • Strong portfolio showcasing both long-form and short-form content.
  • Deep understanding of YouTube retention editing and audience engagement.
  • Experience editing for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and LinkedIn.
  • Excellent storytelling, pacing, and creative editing skills.
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.

Nice-to-Have

  • Thumbnail design experience.
  • Basic color grading skills.
  • Experience working with marketing teams or content creators.
  • Understanding of YouTube Analytics and performance metrics.
  • Familiarity with AI-powered editing tools and workflows.

Tools & Tech Stack

  • Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro
  • Motion graphics software (After Effects or similar)
  • Audio editing tools
  • AI-powered editing tools (a plus)
