Remote Long-Form Video Editor

Turn Raw Stories Into Lasting Impactโ€”All From Wherever You Are

Imagine having the freedom to build powerful narratives that move audiences without ever needing to commute. If youโ€™re the type of storyteller who obsesses over the emotional arc, finds joy in fine-tuning a sequence until it just clicks, and thrives in shaping moments that matter, this is where your creativity meets purpose. Here, youโ€™ll transform hours of unpolished footage into compelling long-form contentโ€”think podcasts, interviews, documentaries, branded features, and in-depth video seriesโ€”that viewers finish and share. Youโ€™re not just cutting clips; youโ€™re making sure every second counts, every story lands, and every audience feels something real.

What Youโ€™ll Achieve

Thereโ€™s no โ€œchecklistโ€ approach here. Youโ€™ll own the narrativeโ€”curating raw video, refining voice, and connecting ideas so viewers stay engaged from the very first frame to the last.

  • Shape long-form video experiences that bring clarity to complex topics, turning interviews, webinars, and multi-guest conversations into cohesive, binge-worthy content.
  • Your edits wonโ€™t just look goodโ€”theyโ€™ll drive audience retention, spark social shares, and build trust with viewers, clients, and stakeholders alike.
  • Whether youโ€™re editing an expert-led deep dive, a founderโ€™s story, or an episodic series, youโ€™ll be the architect behind the scenes, ensuring pacing, tone, and storytelling all work together.
  • Your creativity will help shape onboarding workflows for our internal content producers, reducing friction and elevating our collective output.

The Day-to-Day: Where Your Craft Matters

Every day, youโ€™ll collaborate with creative leads, writers, and motion designersโ€”each as committed as you are to making every video better than the last.

  • Youโ€™ll partner with subject-matter experts to understand key points, map out story arcs, and distill complex information into crisp, audience-friendly narratives.
  • No silos here. Youโ€™ll jump into feedback sessions over Zoom, present rough cuts on Frame.io, and join brainstorms that spark unexpected ideas.
  • We move quickly, but youโ€™ll always have space to focus intensely on your craftโ€”whether youโ€™re perfecting a transition, syncing dialogue, or shaping the flow of an hour-long interview.

Your Superpowers

  • Storytelling: You see the big picture in a sea of footage, and you love uncovering the core narrative that drives everything forward.
  • Editing Mastery: DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, Final Cutโ€”these are your paintbrushes. Layering audio, grading color, balancing interviews, or cleaning up rough sound? Youโ€™re all in.
  • Audience Empathy: You edit with the viewerโ€™s experience in mind, always asking, โ€œWill this land? Does this keep people watching?โ€
  • Clear Communication: You simplify complex ideasโ€”whether itโ€™s over Zoom, Slack, or a punchy timestamp comment.
  • Feedback Resilience: Critique is fuel, not friction. Youโ€™re open, collaborative, and always eager to learn and adapt.

Tools & Tech Stack

Your remote editing setup is a key component that sets you apart.

  • Software: Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro X, DaVinci Resolve, After Effects (for motion polish), Audition (audio enhancement), Frame.io (for seamless review cycles), and Descript (AI-powered transcript edits).
  • Remote Collaboration: Google Workspace, Slack, and Zoom keep everyone aligned, while Asana and Notion help organize production pipelines.
  • Asset Libraries: Access to Artlist, Epidemic Sound, and storyboarding tools lets you bring your complete creative vision to life.

The Work Environment

Our culture values autonomy, craft, and creativity equally.

  • Youโ€™ll work asynchronously from wherever youโ€™re most focusedโ€”home studio, coffee shop, or coworking spaceโ€”while staying connected with a globally distributed creative team.
  • Expect to join brainstorming calls where your opinion shapes not just the edit, but the way stories are told across our brand.
  • Deadlines matter, but thereโ€™s always room for experimentation. Youโ€™ll have the freedom to try new techniques, propose new formats, and set a higher bar with every project.

Key Responsibilities (And Why They Matter)

  • End-to-End Editing: Guide long-form video projects from raw intake to polished publishโ€”owning structure, style, and delivery at every step.
  • Audience Retention: Analyze engagement data and viewer feedback to refine your edits, continually seeking new ways to enhance watch time and impact.
  • Creative Direction: Propose new storytelling formats, pitch fresh content angles, and help shape the editorial voice across multiple video channels.
  • Team Collaboration: Partner with design, engineering, and support teams to build unified solutions, making sure visuals, graphics, and story all sync perfectly.
  • Quality Control: Maintain high standards for audio-visual clarity, accessibility, and consistency, so every video looks and feels premium.

What You Bring

  • Proven experience editing long-form video content for YouTube, podcasts, webinars, or branded docuseriesโ€”portfolio required.
  • Fluency in at least two professional editing tools; you know how to move between them as projects demand.
  • Comfort working in remote collaboration toolsโ€”tracking tasks in Notion or Asana, sharing files via cloud storage, and handling feedback in real time.
  • Youโ€™re adept at steering several projects at onceโ€”balancing creative flow with organizational precision so nothing slips through the cracks.
  • An instinct for pacing, structure, and visual storytelling that turns passive viewers into loyal subscribers.

Growth & Impact

When you join us, your voice shapes our video culture. Your edits will inform future formats, train new producers, and set the tone for everything we release.

  • Youโ€™ll guide less-experienced editors, mentoring them on both technique and creative approach.
  • By sharing your insights and suggestions, youโ€™ll actively shape our evolving remote onboarding and workflow processes, helping the entire team work smarter.
  • And as our channels grow, so does your influenceโ€”your work will reach hundreds of thousands of viewers worldwide.
