Video Editor

Overview

Lanzi Media is hiring a full-time remote video editor to support founders and CEOs in building recognizable personal brands. The agency works with business leaders who want content that captures attention, strengthens credibility, expands their network, and supports business growth. The content you edit will be aimed at turning attention into authority, engagement, and measurable results.

About the Company

Lanzi Media is a Dubai-based personal branding agency that partners with high-level founders, CEOs, and business owners across coaching, consulting, legal, fintech, SaaS, and related sectors. The team focuses on helping clients attract premium inbound leads, become a trusted name in their field, connect with the right people, and create content that continues working around the clock.

Role Summary

In this role, you will edit on-camera content for CEOs and founders, refining pacing, adding the right visual support, and shaping videos that reflect the client’s brand while driving performance. The position calls for both creative judgment and strategic thinking, with a strong focus on retention and platform-specific optimization.

Key Responsibilities

• Edit short-form talking-head videos for platforms such as LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, and similar channels, typically in the 30–90 second range.
• Convert long-form recordings into concise, engaging clips with compelling openings and strong audience retention.
• Work on YouTube videos, podcasts, interviews, and educational content.
• Create edits for VSLs, webinars, and other conversion-oriented marketing materials.
• Layer in captions, motion graphics, animations, sound design, and visual effects where needed.
• Find and add B-roll, stock footage, and other supporting visuals when requested.
• Keep every edit aligned with brand identity, visual style, and client guidelines.
• Coordinate with copywriters, designers, and strategists so the final video supports the message and business objective.
• Handle several projects at once, stay on top of deadlines, and deliver polished content ready for publishing.
• Continuously improve editing quality, audience retention, and content performance.

What the Role Demands

The job requires editing decisions that are both creative and performance-driven. You’ll need to judge whether the opening grabs attention immediately, whether the story is easy to follow, whether the pacing keeps viewers engaged, whether the edit reflects the founder’s brand, whether the final cut suits the intended platform, and whether the piece helps produce business outcomes rather than just looking polished.

Requirements

• At least 2 years of experience editing short-form video for social media, personal brands, or digital marketing.
• Solid understanding of LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube content, including how editing choices affect retention and engagement.
• Proficiency with Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or similar professional editing software.
• Experience editing talking-head videos, podcasts, interviews, VSLs, webinars, and educational content.
• Strong capability in captions, motion graphics, animation, sound design, and visual storytelling.
• Ability to spot strong moments in long-form footage and reshape them into compelling short-form edits.
• Excellent attention to detail and a consistent eye for brand alignment.
• Good time management and the ability to juggle multiple projects and deadlines.
• A portfolio showing the style of work required, including talking-head edits, captions, motion graphics, and retention-focused content.
• Availability between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM Dubai time, within 3 hours of the UAE time zone.

Perks and Benefits

• Starting compensation of USD 1,000 to 1,750 per month, with room for growth based on performance.
• Access to paid tools and platforms, including Notion, Google Drive, Taplio, and others.
• Ongoing training, one-on-one mentorship, and weekly team sessions.
• A culture centered on ownership, creativity, and growth rather than micromanagement.
• Direct mentorship and honest feedback, with opportunities to take on more responsibility as the agency expands.

Work Style and Growth

The team works with a performance-driven mindset, so this role requires strong focus and accountability during working hours. The company also emphasizes long-term development and invests in training to help team members grow as the business scales.
