1.) Introduction
Job Title: Social Media Video Editor
Work Hours: Full-Time (8:00 AM – 4:00 PM EST)
Location & Eligibility: Fully Remote
2.) Overview
A fast-growing, dynamic creative brand dedicated to producing engaging social media and direct-response content is seeking a proactive Social Media Video Editor. Operating with a culture built on autonomy, radical ownership, continuous feedback, and high-impact execution, this team focuses on creating clean, organic-feeling content that stops the scroll and drives audience action.
In this versatile remote role, you will work closely with creative team members to transform raw footage, B-roll, voiceovers, and scripts into polished, compelling short-form video assets for platforms like Instagram and TikTok. If you are an agile self-starter who thrives on async communication, takes complete ownership of creative briefs, and is eager to grow into a leadership role as the content department expands, this is an outstanding career opportunity.
3.) Key Responsibilities
Edit raw footage, B-roll, scripts, voiceovers, and existing assets into engaging, organic-style short-form videos tailored for Instagram and short-form channels.
Develop compelling hooks, visual sequences, pacing, captions, and narrative arcs that keep viewers watching and encourage immediate action for both organic and ad placements.
Translate creative direction from brief or video walkthroughs into finished assets with minimal supervision, thoroughly reviewing work prior to submission to minimize revisions.
Partner with content creators and internal teams while proactively pitching new hooks, creative concepts, and editing approaches during open capacity.
Manage project queues independently with strict organization and timely communication, with the opportunity to mentor and lead additional editors as the team grows.
4.) Must-Have Requirements
3–5 years of experience in social media content creation, video editing, or a related creative discipline, backed by a strong short-form portfolio (specifically showcasing Instagram performance).
Deep understanding of social media algorithms, content trends, virality, audience behavior, and direct-response marketing principles.
Strong command of pacing, B-roll matching, visual composition, captioning, and accessible editing tools (e.g., CapCut).
Strong English communication skills with high receptivity to candid, direct feedback and continuous improvement.
Exceptional self-review habits, dependability, and the ability to work independently via asynchronous tools (Loom, Google Drive, Dropbox).
5.) Nice-to-Have Requirements
Experience with TikTok, Canva, Adobe Creative Suite, or video collaboration platforms like Frame.io.
Familiarity with creative AI platforms (ChatGPT, ElevenLabs, Arcads AI) or paid advertising creatives.
Background in photography, graphic design, or content creation targeting women, mothers, or lifestyle audiences.
Prior experience mentoring, managing, or leading other video editors.
6.) Why Join Us
This is far more than a typical editing gig; it is a high-ownership position with a clear path toward creative leadership as the company's video function expands. You will work in a supportive, ego-free environment that trusts your creative judgment, respects your autonomy, and encourages proactive innovation.
If you are looking for a remote culture where your ability to create engaging, scroll-stopping content is recognized, your ideas are welcomed, and your professional growth is supported, we would love to review your portfolio!
