Type: Contractor
Hours: Approx 16 hours per week (flexible)

Salary: $700 USD / month

About Alite Creative:
At Alite Creative, we believe great businesses deserve to be seen.
We partner with builders, designers, architects, and other project-based businesses to help them become recognised, trusted leaders in their industry.
Our work goes far beyond creating beautiful videos. We help business owners step confidently into the spotlight, communicate what makes them different, and build the kind of trust that attracts better clients, top talent, and long-term growth.

Every piece of content we create has a purpose. Whether it's a 30-second Reel or a long-form interview, we're always asking:
"How do we help this founder become the obvious choice?"
That's why we're looking for more than just a video editor.
We want someone who understands storytelling. Someone who knows how to find the ---------- nts that matter, shape emotion, create ---------- ntum, and produce content that keeps people watching.
If you love creating videos that don't just look great but actually make people feel something, we'd love to hear from you.

The Opportunity:
You'll be joining a growing photography & Videography business, producing premium content for builders, designers, architects, and other project-based businesses.
Much of the footage you'll work with is interviews with business owners, project walkthroughs, client stories, educational content, and behind-the-scenes videos.
Our clients aren't influencers reading scripts.
They're experienced business owners sharing years of knowledge, craftsmanship, and leadership.
Your job is to identify the strongest ---------- nts, tell compelling stories, and create content that builds trust.
Every edit should feel polished, intentional, and worthy of representing premium brands.

What You'll Be Doing:
- You'll be responsible for editing approximately 5-10 video assets each week, including:
- Scroll-stopping Instagram Reels and short-form videos
- Founder interviews
- Highlight videos
- Educational training content
- Paid advertising creatives
- Client testimonials
- Longer-form storytelling content

You'll also:
- Pull out 3-5 engaging standalone clips from each long-form video using our content markers.
- Design strong opening hooks that capture attention immediately.
- Add captions, motion graphics, B-roll, transitions, music, sound design, and colour grading where appropriate.
- Maintain a consistent editing style across all client work.
- Follow our templates, workflows, and brand guidelines (full training will be provided).
- Provide a thumbnail image or screen grab for every completed edit.
- Collaborate with our team through video calls, email, Notion, and ClickUp.
- Deliver projects on time while maintaining an exceptional standard of quality.

What Great Looks Like - You may be a great fit if you:
- Think about the story before the effects.
- Know how to hook viewers within the first few seconds.
- Understand pacing and audience retention.
- Can watch a 30-minute interview and quickly identify the most compelling ---------- nts.
- Know when to let emotion breathe instead of over-editing.
- Have a strong eye for detail and consistency.
- Enjoy receiving feedback and continually improving your work.
- Take genuine pride in producing premium-quality edits.

We're not looking for someone who simply assembles clips.
We're looking for someone who understands that every video represents a business owner, their business, and years of hard work.
Your edits should help people trust them before they ever pick up the phone.

Essential Requirements - To succeed in this role you'll need:
- Strong experience editing in DaVinci Resolve.
- A portfolio demonstrating both short-form and long-form editing.

- Strong English communication skills and confidence joining video calls.
- Excellent organisational skills.
- A reliable internet connection.
- A computer capable of editing high-resolution video efficiently.
- A positive attitude and willingness to learn.

Bonus Skills - While not essential, we'd love it if you also have experience with:
- Real estate, construction, architecture, or design industry content.
- Paid advertising creatives.
- Motion graphics.
- Basic graphic design.
- AI-assisted editing workflows.
- YouTube editing and audience retention strategies.

What Success Looks Like - Within your first 90 days you'll be:
- Producing polished edits that require minimal revisions.
- Confidently following our editing style and workflows.
- Creating engaging Reels that consistently capture attention.
- Editing long-form content that tells meaningful stories.
- Helping our clients build trust through exceptional content.
- Becoming an important part of a collaborative creative team.

Why This Role Matters:
Most people think editing is about making videos look good.
We see it differently.
Every business owner we work with has spent years building a business they're proud of.
Our job is to help the world see the quality, leadership, and care that's already there.
As our Video Editor, you'll play a huge role in helping great businesses become recognised leaders in their industry.
Your work won't just generate views.
It will build trust, shape perception, strengthen brands, and help our clients win more of the right opportunities.
If that excites you, you'll fit right in.
