We're looking for a Video Editor who understands one important thing:

Good editing isn't just about making a video look beautiful.

The video needs to hold attention, communicate the message and make the viewer take action.

• Meta video advertisements
• Instagram Reels

• Short-form content

• Work closely with marketers to create performance-driven ads

You should constantly be thinking:

“Why would someone stop scrolling and watch this?”

VSL EditingYou will edit Video Sales Letters using:

• Talking-head footage
• B-roll
• Graphics
• Text animation
• Screenshots
• Product visuals
• Testimonials
• Pattern interrupts
• Relevant supporting visuals

The objective is to make longer videos engaging without making them unnecessarily over-edited.

Podcast ContentYou will:

• Edit podcast episodes
• Identify the strongest moments from long-form conversations
• Find potentially viral podcast clips
• Turn clips into Reels and Shorts
• Create compelling hooks
• Add context so clips make sense independently
• Edit for retention rather than simply cutting a 30-second segment

We want an editor who can watch a 60-minute podcast and identify:

“These are the 8 moments that people will actually share.”

AI-Powered Video ProductionWe actively use AI in our workflow.

You will experiment with AI for:

• B-roll generation
• Images
• Backgrounds
• Voice
• Visual concepts
• Motion elements

Think Like a MarketerThis is extremely important.

We don't want someone who simply receives footage and starts adding transitions.

You should understand:

• Hooks
• Viewer retention
• Curiosity
• Attention
• Storytelling
• Emotional triggers
• CTAs
• Audience psychology

If an advertisement isn't performing, you should be able to look at the video and suggest:

“The hook is too slow.”

“The payoff comes too late.”

“This section needs visual proof.”

“We should cut 6 seconds here.”

“This clip can become a much stronger standalone Reel.”
