JOB OVERVIEW

We’re Hiring: Remote Contractual Short-Form Video Editor
(Include the word “Compass” in your application title so we know you read this.)

Are you passionate about creating content that grabs attention, stops the scroll, and has real viral potential?

We’re looking for a creative, detail-driven Short-Form Video Editor to join our team in a contractual role, with strong room to grow. This is a great opportunity for someone who understands how to make engaging content for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, while also wanting to grow with a team that values structure, quality, and long-term success.

We are not simply looking to hire an editor. We are looking for someone who wants to be part of a creative system built for growth, consistency, and excellence.

You should live and breathe short-form content. If you understand pacing, hooks, storytelling, and current trends, you’ll fit right in.

What You’ll Be Doing
Editing scroll-stopping videos for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts
Using Adobe Premiere Pro and CapCut to produce clean, engaging, high-retention edits
Adding custom animated captions, sound effects, transitions, and music
Using Matt Hannan’s content style and overall brand direction as a creative reference point, while still bringing your own editing instinct and ideas ----------
Communicating with the team and meeting deadlines consistently
Revising edits when needed to help us achieve the strongest possible final output

What We’re Looking For
A solid portfolio of short-form videos, ideally with viral performance or strong engagement
Expert skills in Adobe Premiere Pro and CapCut
Strong editing fundamentals, including:
• custom animated captions
• clean sound design and SFX
• tight pacing, with no long dead air or slow cuts
• thoughtful music choices that support the content
A creative eye that can follow brand direction without relying on copy-paste editing
Excellent communication in English
Responsive during JST business hours, which is 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM Manila Time, on WhatsApp or Slack
Detail-oriented, organized, and open to feedback
Must include “Compass” in your application title

Compensation
Starting rate: $30 per completed reel
Editors will begin in a contractual editor role
For every THREE successful and outstanding completed reels, we will revisit the current rate and consider an increase based on quality, consistency, and overall performance
Additional opportunities are available for editors who consistently deliver exceptional work

Why You’ll Enjoy Working With Us
Fully remote and flexible workflow
Supportive, fast-moving creative team
Clear systems, direction, and room to grow
Opportunity to develop into a bigger role over time
Your work could reach thousands, or even millions, of viewers

How to Apply

Please send us:

Your portfolio of your best short-form edits
Links or performance stats, if available
An application title containing the word “Compass”

We’re excited to see your creativity and how you think. If you’re looking for a role where your editing skills can grow within an organized and ambitious team, we’d love to hear from you.
