Field Nine Group is a portfolio media company working with newsrooms, universities, and mission-driven organizations. We're hiring a full-time video editor to cut short and medium-form video for our clients and our own founder-led content. There is an active backlog of client work, so you'll be producing real, billable video from your first week.
The work
You'll edit a steady mix of client video and original content — talking-head founder videos, interview and panel clips, explainer-style pieces, and social cuts for platforms like LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube.
The style we're looking for
Clean, polished, and professional — think the production quality of Council on Foreign Relations or major newsroom video. Restrained motion, legible captions, considered pacing, strong audio. This is editorial and institutional in tone. It is not fast-cut, high-effects, emoji-heavy influencer editing. If your reel is mostly trend-driven viral content, we're probably not the right fit, and that's okay.
Hours — please read carefully
This is a full-time role working American business hours, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM US Eastern Time. This is non-negotiable. Please only apply if you can reliably commit to these hours long-term.
Tools
We work primarily in CapCut and Veed. You should be comfortable in at least one and able to pick up the other quickly.
What you'll need to be strong here
A genuine eye for clean, professional editorial video
Fast, dependable turnaround and an organized approach to revisions
Strong instincts for pacing, captioning, and sound
Reliable communication during US Eastern working hours
Compensation & structure
This role begins as a three-month contract, starting immediately. Compensation during the contract is $800/month, full-time. At the end of the three months, strong performers will be offered long-term employment with a salary increase to [$900–$1,000]/month. We'll review progress with you at the midpoint so there are no surprises — this is a real path, not a trial-and-discard.

A short note on why this role fits you
Links to three to four work samples that show range — ideally a talking-head/founder-style edit, an interview or panel clip, and a short-form social cut. We want to see how you handle different formats, not just your single best piece.
Confirmation that you can work 8:00 AM–5:00 PM US Eastern, full-time
