## About the Role

We are looking for a creative, reliable and marketing-focused **Video Editor** to join our team full-time.

This role is for an editor who understands that great video editing is not just about making content look polished.

The purpose of the videos we create is to **capture attention, build trust, communicate value and make it easier for businesses to generate enquiries and sales.**

You will edit content for business owners and professional service companies, including:

You must be highly confident using **DaVinci Resolve** and comfortable working with professional editing workflows, including multicam footage, proxies, transcripts, audio, colour correction and organised project timelines.

You should also have a strong understanding of **marketing and direct-response principles**.

We are not looking for an editor who simply waits for timestamps and instructions for every cut.

We want someone who can understand the purpose of a video, review raw footage and make intelligent editing decisions based on the message we are trying to communicate.

## Key Responsibilities

- Edit short-form videos for Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn and YouTube Shorts

- Edit primarily using **DaVinci Resolve**
- Work confidently with multicam timelines, proxies, synced audio and professional project structures
- Use transcript-based editing where appropriate to identify and remove unnecessary sections
- Review interviews and raw footage to identify strong hooks, claims, objections, stories and persuasive moments
- Turn long interviews and recordings into concise, structured videos with a clear central message
- Understand the main idea behind a video and select supporting footage that strengthens that idea
- Improve pacing without removing important context or meaning
- Add captions, graphics, music, sound design, B-roll and visual elements where appropriate
- Create multiple advertisement variations, hooks and openings for creative testing
- Follow client brand guidelines, templates and established editing styles
- Maintain organised DaVinci Resolve projects, timelines, media and file structures
- Complete revisions accurately and within agreed deadlines
- Communicate clearly with the team about progress, questions and potential delays
- Suggest stronger hooks, structures or editing approaches when you identify opportunities to improve a video

- Strong understanding of marketing-focused video content

## The Type of Editor We Are Looking For

We are looking for someone who thinks beyond the timeline.

For example, when editing a customer testimonial, we do not simply want every positive thing the customer says included in the video.

We want the editor to identify:

- What is the main idea this testimonial should communicate?
- What does the potential customer need to believe?
- What problem or objection does this section of the interview address?
- Which clips strengthen the central message?
- Which sections are repetitive or unnecessary?
- What should the viewer understand or feel by the end of the video?

The same applies to advertisements.

A visually impressive edit does not automatically make an effective advertisement.

You should understand that sometimes a simple edit with a strong hook, clear message and persuasive structure will perform better than an edit filled with effects.

## What Success Looks Like

A successful editor in this role will:

- Deliver work on time without needing to be repeatedly chased
- Understand the marketing objective behind each video
- Understand the main message before beginning an edit
- Independently identify strong moments from raw footage
- Produce organised DaVinci Resolve projects
- Maintain clean timelines and file structures
- Produce accurate captions with minimal mistakes
- Follow established editing styles consistently
- Improve quickly after receiving feedback
- Communicate early when clarification is needed
- Suggest improvements when they identify a stronger hook, structure or creative direction
- Become faster and more independent over time
- Eventually require less detailed instruction because they understand our marketing approach

## Salary and Benefits

- **$850–$1,000 USD per month**
- Full-time, long-term remote position
- Paid probationary period
- Paid annual leave
- Philippine public holidays
- Regular performance and salary reviews
- Training in direct-response marketing, customer psychology and creative strategy
- Training in our internal editing and storytelling frameworks
- Opportunity to progress into a Senior Video Editor or Creative Strategist role
