Requirements
- 2+ years of professional video editing experience working with clients or brands.
- A portfolio demonstrating client work is required; student or personal projects alone will not qualify.
- Demonstrated experience editing short-form video for social platforms, with a clear understanding of hooks, retention, and pacing.
- Color grading experience, including log and raw footage.
- Audio mixing and basic sound design skills.
- Comfortable with motion graphics using template-based tools (Motion Array or similar).
- Experience with captioning tools; Descript is preferred, CapCut is an acceptable alternative.
- Strong organizational habits: clean file management, consistent naming conventions.
- Excellent written and verbal communication in English.
- Available during US business hours and able to meet deadlines consistently.
Responsibilities
- Edit raw footage into short-form storytelling pieces, primarily 30 seconds to 3 minutes in length.
- Find the emotional through line in interview footage and shape the story from there — not just cut what was requested.
- Identify additional content opportunities within footage (standalone clips, social shorts) and flag them proactively.
- Color grade log and raw footage to a clean, professional finish.
- Handle audio mixing, dialogue cleanup, and basic sound design.
- Add captions, lower thirds, and motion graphics.
- Select music from licensed libraries that serves the story.
- Manage your projects in Asana, keeping statuses updated and surfacing anything that needs input before it becomes a problem.
- Upload deliverables to Wipster for client review and track revision rounds cleanly.
- Maintain a file structure that is organized, consistent, and easy for anyone to navigate.
- Communicate in Slack during US business hours. Be responsive. Be clear.
- Meet turnaround commitments: 48 business hours for subscription client work; 1 to 2 weeks for project-based first deliverables.
