GOOD NEWS
We are hiring a small team of long-term PROFESSIONAL video editors. These are project roles directly for our company, an ice cream tour company based in Chicago.


ABOUT US AND THE ROLE
Ice Cream Sunshine is a good vibes signature ice cream tour and special events company based in Chicago. Good vibes, excellence, and fun are the core of who we are — and that extends to every person on our team.
We are growing our content team and hiring long-term PROFESSIONAL video editors to work on a project basis. If our founder can edit a video better than you can then you are not who we are looking for.

Must haves: you love being part of a collaborative, creative team and are ready to help us tell our story across our socials. If you bring 3(+) years of PROFESSIONAL video editing experience, a strong portfolio of current YouTube, TikTok, IG, and additional social content, and a true passion for taking raw footage and creating extraordinary videos that tell the best stories and compel audiences to stay until the end — let's connect.


WHAT YOU WILL DO
You will work within our creative production process and own the on-time delivery of fully edited, publish-ready videos — sound, captions, automations, color grading, and everything needed to hit publish. This is a long-term, ongoing remote position with real creative opportunity.
Edit shorts, longs, and reels across platforms
Cut, color, caption, and package footage for each platform
Deliver content on time, every time
Maintain our brand voice — warm, bright, fun, high energy, good vibes


GOOD VIBES ONLY COMPANY
We believe in good vibes, respect, value, appreciation, and fun as a company culture. We perform with excellence and have a good time along the way.


WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
You bring 3(+) years of professional video editing experience with a strong, real-world portfolio to back it up. You know how to turn raw footage into content that stops the scroll and holds attention. You've produced outstanding results across short-form and long-form formats, and your instincts for pacing, story, and retention show it. You're ready to bring that expertise to a fast-growing, good-vibes brand.
3(+) years of PROFESSIONAL video editing experience, with a portfolio that proves it
Portfolio must include published pieces: short-form and long-form, ideally with visible performance (views, retention, watch-through)
Editing instincts that lead to strong retention rates
Excellent storytelling instincts — you know what makes people watch to the end
Reliable, communicative, and self-directed; thrives in a collaborative team while working independently to achieve benchmarks


WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
We measure results.
Publish-ready videos delivered on time, every time
Strong, measurable retention and watch-through rates across platforms
Consistent brand voice and quality across every piece of content
A creative partnership that helps content performance grow month over month


WHAT WE OFFER
$5–$8/hr USD + bonus potential based on meeting metrics
1099 contractor role
A direct, collaborative relationship with the team — your expertise is valued
A supportive, respectful company culture where people genuinely enjoy working together
Fun virtual team events
