AI Video Editor
Full-time • Remote
Introduction
Team Mission
Our Social team turns raw ideas into content that actually moves numbers, views, leads, and revenue. You’ll sit at the intersection of creative, AI, and performance, building a repeatable pipeline from long-form footage to short-form clips that consistently earn attention.
Key Responsibilities
- Edit short-form social content (TikTok, Reels, YouTube Shorts) with strong hooks, clean pacing, and a mobile-first layout.
- Use AI platforms (Higgsfield, Midjourney, HeyGen, ElevenLabs, etc.) to generate avatars, voice-overs, B-roll, and variations that speed up delivery.
- Turn long-form content (podcasts, YouTube videos, webinars) into multiple clips, teasers, and highlight reels that maximise each recording.
- Add subtitles, on-screen text, pattern interrupts, and sound design to boost retention and watch-through.
- Use performance data (retention graphs, drop-off points, completion rates) to decide what to cut, what to move, and what to test next.
- Collaborate with the team to translate simple briefs into platform-native edits that match brand tone and campaign goals.
- Stay on top of short-form formats, meme styles, and editing trends; propose new concepts and tests, not just “wait for tasks.”
- Keep your projects organised, clear file naming, version control, asset libraries, and exports ready for each platform.
Must-Have Skills
- 3+ years editing short-form, social-first content or a portfolio that clearly shows high-output, high-quality work.
- Strong skills in a pro editor (Capcut, Premiere Pro, After Effects, or similar) and hands-on experience with AI media tools (for avatars, VO, generative visuals, or AI video).
- Experience working with creators, personal brands, or performance-focused teams (agency, DTC, info products, coaching, etc.).
- Solid understanding of short-form retention, how hooks, pacing, framing, and captions impact viewer behaviour.
- Proven ability to repurpose long-form content into multiple short assets with minimal supervision.
- Comfortable working to tight deadlines, handling feedback loops, and shipping consistently.
Nice-to-Haves
- Background in performance marketing or creator-commerce; understands how creative connects to offers, funnels, and revenue.
- Audio design and color-grading and color correcting skills to level up overall polish.
- Experience prompting/scripting generative-AI tools (Midjourney, DALL·E, Runway or similar) to create supporting visuals.
- Previous experience in a remote, async team using shared libraries and project-management tools.
Compensation & Benefits
- Competitive salary pegged to top-quartile market rates
- Flexible schedule (core overlap 2 hours with GMT+8).
