Video Editor

What you will do

Edit and produce short-form content

• Edit fast-paced short-form videos (Reels, TikToks, YouTube Shorts) for both our co-founder's personal brand and the Pixel & Profits company account, turning raw footage, screen recordings and voice notes into scroll-stopping content.
• Cut, pace and structure videos for retention: strong hooks in the first 1–2 seconds, tight pacing and zero dead air.
• Add captions, colour-highlighted keywords, sound design and b-roll that match each account's tone and visual guidelines.
• Turn around drafts quickly in a fast, iterative content cycle: publish, learn, adjust, repeat.

Own visual and brand consistency

• Apply the Content Editing Guideline consistently: correct fonts, caption style, colour grading, b-roll usage and music/sound tone for each account (raw and authentic for our co-founder's personal brand, credible and grounded for the Pixel & Profits company account).
• Maintain a consistent visual identity across both accounts while adapting tone, pacing and style to each audience.
• Build and maintain a library of templates, presets and motion assets (lower-thirds, transitions, title cards) to speed up future edits.

Support motion design and creative testing

• Add light motion graphics (animated text, icons, transitions) that follow brand colour and style guidelines. A nice-to-have, not a requirement to be an After Effects expert.
• Help test different hooks, formats and edit styles, and flag what's working based on watch time, retention and engagement.
• Collaborate with the founders and marketing team to translate raw ideas, voice notes and rough footage into finished, on-brand content.

We fund your AI experiments

• Explore freely. Test new AI editing, captioning, voice and motion tools as they come out. If it can make an edit faster or better, we want you trying it.
• We cover the budget. Reasonable spend on AI software and trials is approved fast. You're never stuck doing manually what a tool can do in minutes.
• Speed over grinding. Your job is to find the fastest path to a great edit, not to prove effort through hours spent.
• Share what works. When you find a workflow that saves real time, bring it to the team so everyone gets faster.

You'll thrive here if

• You have an eye for pacing. You instinctively know when a cut drags and how to tighten it so viewers never look away.
• You obsess over the details. You catch what others miss in captions, timing, colour and sound, and fix it before anyone asks.
• You move fast without cutting corners. You can turn around multiple short-form edits a week without sacrificing quality.
• You take feedback well. You iterate quickly on notes and treat every revision as a chance to sharpen your craft.
• You're platform-native. You understand what makes Reels, TikToks and Shorts work (hooks, pacing, trends), not just how to operate the software.
• You're self-directed in a remote environment. You manage your own priorities and deadlines across multiple accounts without hand-holding.

Skills and experience

• 2–3 years of experience editing short-form video content (Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts) for personal brands, creators or companies.
• Strong hands-on skills in Premiere Pro, CapCut, DaVinci Resolve or similar editing software.
• Motion design skills (After Effects or similar) are a strong nice-to-have.
• A solid sense of pacing, hooks and retention-driven storytelling for short-form social platforms.
• Experience working with captions, colour-highlighted keywords, sound design and b-roll selection.
• Comfortable following and applying a brand/content style guide consistently across multiple accounts with different tones.
• A strong portfolio or reel showing short-form editing work (please include a link when applying).
• Professional English, and you thrive in a fast, fully remote stack: Slack, Loom, Notion, Airtable, Google Drive.
