JOB OVERVIEW

We’re looking for a high level video editor who knows how to take raw footage and turn it into polished, engaging content that keeps people watching.

Most of the videos we produce are between 2 and 5 minutes long.

These are longer form performance advertisements, talking head videos and direct response creatives where pacing and retention matter from the first second to the final CTA.

We need someone who understands that strong editing is more than cutting out pauses.

You should know how to use pacing, graphics, captions, typography, B roll, sound design and visual changes to keep a 2 to 5 minute video engaging without making it feel chaotic or overedited.

We’re especially interested in editors with a strong eye for graphic design and typography.

If your work feels clean, intentional and visually polished, we want to see it.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

* Edit 2 to 5 minute direct response and performance videos
* Edit talking head and scripted footage
* Clean up mistakes, pauses and unnecessary sections
* Create strong pacing and maintain retention throughout the entire video
* Design and animate on screen graphics
* Create clean, engaging captions
* Use typography creatively to emphasize important ideas
* Add B roll and supporting visuals
* Create callouts, charts, screenshots and visual explanations
* Use punch ins, reframing and camera changes strategically
* Add music and sound design where appropriate
* Clean and balance audio
* Color correct footage
* Follow established branding while still bringing your own creative ideas
* Take feedback and turn revisions around efficiently

YOU’RE PROBABLY A GREAT FIT IF...

* You have experience editing videos in the 2 to 5 minute range
* You understand pacing, attention and viewer retention
* You know how to keep a video visually engaging beyond the first 30 seconds
* Your graphics look professionally designed and not like default templates
* You have a strong eye for typography, spacing, hierarchy and composition
* You know when captions should be subtle and when they should become part of the visual storytelling
* You understand how to use B roll without throwing random stock footage over every sentence
* You can create motion graphics that make ideas easier to understand
* You notice small details in timing, audio, alignment and animation
* You’re comfortable working in Adobe Premiere Pro
* Experience with After Effects is a major plus
* You can follow creative direction without needing every edit spelled out for you
* You’re organized and can manage projects with multiple assets, graphics and revisions
* You’re receptive to feedback and constantly trying to improve your work

WHAT WE CARE ABOUT

We are not looking for someone who simply knows how to operate editing software.

We care about taste.

We care about pacing.

We care about retention.

We care about whether your graphics actually improve the video.

We care about whether your typography looks intentional.

We care about whether you know when to add something visually and when to let the footage breathe.

A great editor understands how all of those decisions work together to keep someone watching for the full 2 to 5 minutes.

WORKING WITH OUR TEAM

You’ll work alongside our creative and marketing team on a variety of performance driven video projects.

We move quickly, communicate directly and expect editors to take ownership of their work.

You’ll receive footage, scripts, brand assets and creative direction when needed, but we also want someone who can look at a section of a video and come up with a stronger visual solution on their own.

We want editors who are interested in becoming significantly better at their craft and want to grow with a team producing a high volume of creative.

PAID EDITING TEST

Final candidates will complete a paid editing test.

We’ll provide the footage and creative direction.

The purpose of the test is to see how you approach:

* Pacing
* Viewer retention
* Graphics
* Captions
* Typography
* B roll
* Sound design
* Visual storytelling
* Overall polish

We want to see your creative judgment, not just whether you can follow instructions.

TO APPLY

Please send us:

* Your portfolio
* Your 2 to 3 BEST examples of videos between approximately 2 and 5 minutes that you personally edited
* Links directly to the videos whenever possible
* Examples that showcase strong graphics, captions and typography
* A short explanation of exactly what you handled on each project
* The editing software you primarily use
* Your availability during US business hours

Please prioritize examples that show you can maintain strong pacing and visual interest for several minutes.

Short form reels and TikToks are fine to include as additional work, but we specifically want to see examples that demonstrate your ability to edit longer 2 to 5 minute videos.

Include the word LONGFORM somewhere in your application so we know you read the entire posting.
