Remote After Effects Video Editor

Introduction: Create Impact From Anywhere

Imagine crafting stories that spark curiosity and connect with audiences worldwide—right from your own workspace. If you thrive on transforming raw footage into compelling visual experiences, and you believe animation isn’t just an effect but a language, this opportunity is for you. Here, creativity is more than a buzzword; it’s how we craft narratives, build brands, and achieve breakthroughs. Your work will reach thousands, elevating campaigns, social content, and digital products with every carefully crafted sequence.

Why This Role Matters

You’ll be the architect of visual storytelling, using motion design to simplify the complex and amplify ideas that matter. When others see a timeline complete of raw clips, you see a canvas for storytelling—layering motion graphics, kinetic text, and transitions to guide viewers, spark emotion, and inspire action. Each edit presents an opportunity to establish a new benchmark for what’s possible, providing brands and creators with a dynamic edge in a competitive, rapidly evolving digital landscape.

What You’ll Contribute

This isn’t about simply cutting scenes together. You’ll collaborate closely with strategists, designers, and marketers to translate vision into action, delivering finished videos that are both artful and on-brand. When a product launches or a campaign goes viral, your creative fingerprints will be front and center. You’ll:

• Transform concepts into visually engaging stories using advanced animation workflows and creative compositing.
• Bring campaigns to life with tailored transitions, dynamic intros, and captivating outro sequences.
• Solve visual challenges with originality—whether that’s layering effects, reimagining footage, or optimizing assets for multi-platform distribution.
• Ensure every edit is optimized for digital sharing, SEO, and audience engagement—whether it’s for a product demo, explainer, or viral short.

Tools, Tech & Collaboration

You’ll rely on your mastery of After Effects, but also blend techniques from Premiere Pro, Illustrator, and Photoshop. Color grading, sound design, and motion tracking are second nature to me. Communication is effortless: you take broad feedback, simplify complex requests, and clarify next steps, whether it’s a quick Slack thread or a deep-dive Zoom review. Your remote workflow thrives on cloud storage, file versioning, and asynchronous feedback, so every project runs smoothly regardless of time zone.

Core Responsibilities

• Sculpt complex animations from storyboard to delivery, adding that extra layer of polish that clients remember.
• Collaborate across creative, product, and marketing to ensure alignment on project vision and audience impact.
• Troubleshoot technical and creative challenges with a proactive, solution-first mindset.
• Balance tight turnarounds with quality, ensuring every frame serves a purpose.
• Maintain file organization and asset libraries to support an agile, remote-first workflow.
• Consistently deliver engaging, SEO-optimized video content that increases reach, retention, and conversion.

Your Approach & Qualities

You simplify complex ideas—whether it’s over Zoom or Slack. Feedback fuels your growth. When asked for a new effect or storytelling angle, you experiment, iterate, and deliver something memorable. You manage timelines without losing sight of the details, and thrive when collaborating with teams who care about both speed and craft. You’re flexible—able to pivot between animation-heavy projects and fast-turnaround edits without missing a beat.

What Sets You Apart

• A portfolio that demonstrates both technical mastery and creative risk-taking.
• Advanced skill in After Effects (animation, compositing, motion graphics, effects).
• A working knowledge of related tools like Premiere Pro, Illustrator, and Photoshop.
• Experience with remote collaboration tools (Frame.io, Slack, Trello, Google Drive).
• Familiarity with optimizing video for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and other digital channels.
• Ability to troubleshoot and deliver solutions independently, all while contributing to a team vision.

Work Environment & Growth

We move quickly, but you’ll always have space to focus intensely and iterate on your craft. You’ll have access to a wide variety of projects, each with a unique visual challenge, so you’re never stuck in creative autopilot. Team members are spread across continents, but aligned in their mission to raise the creative bar together. Your voice shapes not just the videos we deliver, but the processes we refine and the culture we build.

Compensation

Your expertise is valued here—annual salary is $64,728 with opportunities for bonuses and professional development. You’ll have flexibility in your working hours and the autonomy to manage your workflow, as long as deadlines and quality standards are met.
