We're looking for a freelance Video Editor to turn raw footage into scroll-stopping social content for our own Social Pages. We shoot and send the raw footage, you cut it into strong options, and our team picks the best to run.
This is an ongoing freelance role, not a one-off gig. If you're fast, have a real eye for what performs on social, and want consistent work editing for a growing e-commerce agency, this is for you.
— Andy Gray, Founder & CEO
WHO WE ARE
The Graygency is a performance marketing agency working with 7–8 figure DTC e-commerce brands across the UK, US, and Europe. We call ourselves Performance Scientists; we're in the P&L, not just the ad account. We're building an agency powered by systems, AI, and commercial thinking, not headcount.
WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY DO
Video Editing & Content Creation
- Turn raw footage we send you into polished, high-performing edits for YouTube, Shorts, TikTok, Reels, and Instagram
- Watch through raw footage and pull out the strongest hooks, moments, and soundbites
- Cut multiple edit options per piece of footage so our team can pick the strongest version to run
- Optimize videos for retention, engagement, and platform behavior
Motion Graphics & Creative Enhancement
- Add dynamic motion graphics, text overlays, and visual effects
- Create scroll-stopping thumbnails and visual hooks
- Follow brief and brand guidelines from our Creative Strategists on angle, hook, and pacing
Performance-Driven Editing
- Understand what makes content convert; not just look good
- Optimize cuts, pacing, and structure based on performance insights
Collaboration
- Work closely with Creative Strategists and Media Buyers
- Contribute ideas to improve creative performance
- Align editing decisions with campaign goals and strategy
Ad Hoc Creative Work
- Support video ads, testimonials, and brand content
- Jump into fast-turnaround projects when needed
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
- Edits are consistently strong enough that our team is choosing between good options, not settling
- Fast, reliable turnaround on every batch of footage
- Edits reflect an understanding of what stops the scroll and holds retention, not just clean cuts
THE SKILLS WE NEED YOU TO BRING
- 2–5 years of experience editing video, ideally social-first content (YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Reels)
- A strong portfolio of social edits, ideally with performance context (views, retention, etc.)
- Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Premiere Pro, After Effects) and/or CapCut; After Effects a plus
- A genuine sense for pacing, hooks, and retention, not just technical editing
- Excellent written and verbal English communication
- Reliable internet connection and the ability to work to deadlines in a remote setup
NICE TO HAVES
- Experience editing for DTC or e-commerce brands
- Experience with AI video tools (Runway, Pika, Sora, Higgsfield)
- You run your own YouTube/TikTok, or have created UGC-style content yourself
- Basic motion graphics or 3D skills
- Familiarity with ClickUp or similar project management tools
WHAT WE OFFER
- Ongoing freelance work, not a one-off project, ideal for someone building a stable freelance client base
- Clear briefs and a real team around you: Creative Strategists and Media Buyers who give direction and feedback
- Fully remote, flexible hours
RED FLAGS (Don't Apply If…)
- You focus only on aesthetics and ignore performance
- You’ve never created content for social platforms
- You don’t understand retention, hooks, or pacing
- You wait for instructions instead of thinking creatively
- You struggle with feedback or iteration
- You can’t keep up with fast production cycles
