JOB OVERVIEW

We are a fast-growing digital media company producing high-performing short-form content across multiple social media platforms. Our editing team is at the heart of what we do—creating engaging, high-quality videos that drive audience growth and support our clients' digital brands.

We're looking for a skilled, self-starting Short-Form Video Editor to join our team and take ownership of their output from start to finish.

THE ROLE
We're looking for a self-starter who can consistently deliver 30 high-quality short-form edits per week, prevent backlogs, and ensure every video meets platform guidelines before publication.

This is not a creative-from-scratch role. You'll edit within established SOPs using CapCut, follow each client's brand guidelines, and use our workflow tools to keep work visible and on track.

WHAT YOU WILL OWN
* Daily start-of-day report to the Video Production Manager—your output, queue, and blockers
* 30 short-form video edits per week, aligned with each client's brand guidelines
* Platform compliance—every edit reviewed before publishing using Autoposter compliance scans
* Airtable dashboard—keeping your workflow updated and visible
* Weekly Editor Meeting—arriving prepared and contributing to team standards

NON-NEGOTIABLES
* Availability during the stated working hours
* Professionalism and collaboration—everyone's output impacts the team
* Accountability and transparency—you raise issues early and don't allow backlogs to build

HOW SUCCESS IS MEASURED
* 30 quality edits delivered each week
* Consistent adherence to brand guidelines
* Zero platform compliance violations
* Airtable always up to date

Performance is reviewed quarterly against the Editor SOP.

WHAT YOU BRING
Experience (non-negotiable)
* 3+ years experience of professional short-form video editing
* Advanced CapCut proficiency (primary editing tool for this role)

Skills (must-have)
- Strong eye for pacing, hooks, and engaging edits
- Critical thinker who spots and fixes issues independently without being told
- Able to follow defined SOPs while consistently hitting production targets without sacrificing quality
- Familiar with Airtable, Notion, or similar workflow tools
- Strong understanding of platform compliance on what gets content flagged and how to avoid it

Who You Are
— A self-starter who manages their own queue and does not wait to be chased
— A team player who communicates early when something is off
— Accountable and transparent — your numbers and your blockers are always visible
— Detail-oriented with a consistent standard, not just on good days

WHAT WE OFFER
- Up to $700/month, depending on experience
- Fully remote
- Monday to Friday | 1:00 PM – 10:00 PM Philippine Time (7:00 AM – 4:00 PM SAST)
- Structured workflows with clear SOPs and measurable performance
- Collaborative team with regular feedback and creative direction
- Career growth opportunities as the company scales

HOW TO APPLY
Please submit:
- Updated resume
- A portfolio showcasing your short-form edits
- Your expected monthly salary
- Brief introduction explaining why you're a good fit

NOTE: Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
