Description
Remote Long-Form Video Editor
Turn Raw Stories Into Lasting ImpactโAll From Wherever You Are
Imagine having the freedom to build powerful narratives that move audiences without ever needing to commute. If youโre 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, youโll transform hours of unpolished footage into compelling long-form contentโthink podcasts, interviews, documentaries, branded features, and in-depth video seriesโthat viewers finish and share. Youโre not just cutting clips; youโre making sure every second counts, every story lands, and every audience feels something real.
What Youโll Achieve
Thereโs no โchecklistโ approach here. Youโll own the narrativeโcurating 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 wonโt just look goodโtheyโll drive audience retention, spark social shares, and build trust with viewers, clients, and stakeholders alike.
- Whether youโre editing an expert-led deep dive, a founderโs story, or an episodic series, youโll 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, youโll collaborate with creative leads, writers, and motion designersโeach as committed as you are to making every video better than the last.
- Youโll 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. Youโll jump into feedback sessions over Zoom, present rough cuts on Frame.io, and join brainstorms that spark unexpected ideas.
- We move quickly, but youโll always have space to focus intensely on your craftโwhether youโre 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 Cutโthese are your paintbrushes. Layering audio, grading color, balancing interviews, or cleaning up rough sound? Youโre all in.
- Audience Empathy: You edit with the viewerโs experience in mind, always asking, โWill this land? Does this keep people watching?โ
- Clear Communication: You simplify complex ideasโwhether itโs over Zoom, Slack, or a punchy timestamp comment.
- Feedback Resilience: Critique is fuel, not friction. Youโre open, collaborative, and always eager to learn and adapt.
Tools & Tech Stack
Your remote editing setup is a key component that sets you apart.

The Work Environment
Our culture values autonomy, craft, and creativity equally.
- Youโll work asynchronously from wherever youโre most focusedโhome studio, coffee shop, or coworking spaceโwhile 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 thereโs always room for experimentation. Youโll have the freedom to try new techniques, propose new formats, and set a higher bar with every project.
