Video Editor - Night Shift

About the job
As the Video Editor for Short Form and Repurposing, you will own platform optimized editing for short form content across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, and similar channels. You will deliver fast, clear, and engaging edits by applying strong hook logic, pacing discipline, and format awareness. In addition to execution, you will operate with higher independence through self QA, proactive communication, and contribution to repeatable repurposing systems. You will also maintain strict task updates and delivery reliability, while continuously learning and applying new short form formats and editing techniques.

Build new skills continuously across any area that improves personal effectiveness or team output.

Implement new skills in real client deliverables or internal systems, not only in practice work.
