VIDEO EDITOR - SHORT-FORM & AD CREATIVE

About the Role

We're hiring a Video Editor on behalf of a U.S.-based marketing agency serving home service and remodeling brands. You'll produce the video creative that powers real ad campaigns — working alongside a team of media buyers and copywriters whose campaigns live or die on the quality of your edits. When your video converts, everyone sees it in the numbers. This is a production role with real output expectations: a minimum of 30 edited pieces of content per week.

What You'll Do

Editing & Production

• Edit a minimum of 30 pieces of content per week — primarily short-form vertical video (ads, social clips, talking-head content, before/after project footage)
• Cut raw client footage into polished, caption-ready edits with strong hooks, tight pacing, and clean audio
• Produce multiple variations of winning ads (new hooks, new CTAs, new openers) for A/B testing
• Format deliverables correctly for Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube placements

Collaboration

• Work directly with media buyers to understand which creatives are performing and iterate on winners
• Turn copywriters' scripts and hooks into finished video
• Manage your queue through the team's project management system and hit deadlines without chasing

Organization & Quality

• Maintain organized project files, brand assets, and templates for each client
• Apply client branding consistently (logos, colors, fonts, end cards)
• Self-review every edit before delivery — clean captions, no dead frames, correct aspect ratios

Requirements

• 2+ years of hands-on video editing experience
• Deep proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and/or CapCut — fast enough in your tool of choice to hit 6 finished edits per day
• A portfolio of short-form edits: ads, reels, TikToks, or YouTube Shorts
• Strong instincts for hooks, pacing, and retention — you edit for the viewer who's about to scroll away
• Experience creating captions/subtitles and editing for sound-off viewing
• Organized, deadline-driven, and consistent — volume work requires systems, not heroics
• Reliable home office setup with an editing-capable computer and stable, high-speed internet
• Availability for a consistent Monday–Friday full-time schedule with at least 3–4 hours of overlap with U.S. Pacific business hours for team communication (the rest of your day is flexible)

Nice to Have

• Experience using AI tools in your workflow (Runway, Descript, ElevenLabs, CapCut AI features, Midjourney, HeyGen, or similar) — we love editors who use AI to go faster without losing quality
• After Effects / motion graphics skills
• Experience editing direct-response ad creative with measurable results
• Experience with home services, construction, or local business content
• Thumbnail or static creative design skills (Canva, Photoshop)

Benefits & Pay

• $4.50 – $7.50 USD/hour, paid in USD (approx. ₱48,000 – ₱80,000/month full-time) — placement in the band depends on speed, skill level, and portfolio, with a formal review at 90 days
• Performance bonuses tied to creative performance and output consistency
• HMO coverage on your terms — after 90 days, choose the HMO plan that fits you (and your family), and we cover it through a monthly healthcare benefit. You pick the provider; we pay for it.
• Fully remote, full-time position
• Growth path into a Senior Editor / Creative Lead role as the team scales
• Work with a fast-moving U.S.-based marketing team in the home service industry

Schedule

Consistent Monday–Friday full-time schedule with at least 3–4 hours of overlap with U.S. Pacific business hours for team communication (the rest of your day is flexible).
