Video Editor

About the Company

The employer is a high-performance revenue operations agency that builds and runs enterprise-level, AI-powered sales systems for clients. Its work centers on helping businesses scale by outsourcing sales execution, setting up complete sales motions, and managing trained sales teams. The agency serves two main verticals: alternative education businesses offering transformational programs, and SaaS companies bringing new technology products to market.

Role Overview

This position is focused on creating high-retention, scroll-stopping video content rather than simple clip cutting or subtitle work. The editor will transform raw footage into engaging short-form content for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts, while also assisting with long-form YouTube edits.

The role is built around performance-driven editing. The goal is to produce videos that hold attention, increase watch time, and encourage repeat viewing, especially for sales, business, personal brand/CEO, recruiting, and growth-related content.

What the Role Involves

• Editing short-form videos for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.
• Working on longer YouTube videos with strong pacing and audience retention in mind.
• Repurposing podcasts, calls, and training sessions into multiple high-performing clips.
• Creating attention-grabbing openings within the first 2–3 seconds.
• Using captions, b-roll, sound effects, motion graphics, and pattern interrupts intentionally.
• Adjusting the edit style to suit either viral/high-energy content or polished business/authority content.
• Coordinating with leadership on content direction and messaging.
• Keeping footage organized and maintaining efficient editing workflows.
• Making quick revisions based on feedback and performance data.
• Monitoring trends, platform behavior, and content formats across social channels.
• Contributing ideas proactively instead of only executing instructions.

Candidate Fit

The ideal candidate understands that effective editing is about performance, not just visual polish. They should be comfortable analyzing why content works, building hooks, and editing for retention, pacing, and platform behavior.

This role is suited to editors who can move quickly, test ideas, adapt based on results, and create content that genuinely helps accounts grow.

Compensation

Pay ranges from $8 to $14 per hour. In addition, performance-based bonuses are offered and are linked to content results and account growth.

Success Measures

• Videos capture attention in the first 3 seconds.
• Content maintains strong watch time and engagement.
• Long-form footage is turned into several strong-performing assets.
• Talking-head videos feel dynamic and interesting.
• Edits align with current platform trends without feeling artificial.
• Leaders can rely on the editor to turn raw material into content that performs.
• The work contributes to audience growth and inbound demand.

Important Notes

This opportunity is intended for editors who want to work at a higher strategic level and create content that drives measurable outcomes. It is not a good match for someone who only wants to make basic edits and move on without thinking about performance.

Additional Screening Guidance

The role is a strong fit if you understand the difference between general editing and editing for virality, actively follow TikTok, Reels, and Shorts trends, can explain why content performs, and are comfortable with fast iteration and feedback. It is not suitable if you rely only on basic cuts, music, and subtitles, prefer minimal iteration, or are not interested in studying content performance.

Working Style

The editor should be comfortable with fast-paced collaboration, frequent feedback, and iterative content improvement. A strong understanding of hooks, pacing, captions, retention, format, and platform-specific behavior is important for success in this role.
