Description
Remote Vertical Video Editor
Shape the Future of Vertical Content
Can you transform short moments into must-watch stories? We believe vertical video is more than just a trendโit's the most direct, intimate way to reach audiences on mobile, and we're looking for someone who can elevate every frame. With an annual salary of $65,728, this fully remote role invites you to design, craft, and amplify impactful vertical video content for a global digital audience that scrolls fast and expects excellence.
Why This Role Matters
Your edits are the difference between being swiped past or going viral. Every transition you choose, every beat you hit, and every piece of text you animate will determine how viewers connect, comment, and share. You'll work alongside creative strategists, social storytellers, and digital marketers who see short-form video as the heartbeat of our brand presence. When you streamline workflow, you boost reach. When you deliver snappy, high-energy cuts, you spark conversation and loyalty.
Key Responsibilities
Bring Content to Life
- Craft thumb-stopping vertical videos for platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shortsโalways tuned to current trends and best practices.
- Translate raw footage into scroll-worthy stories, striking a balance between pacing, emotion, and clarity for mobile-first viewers.
- Adapt storytelling styles for different audiences, brands, and objectivesโbecause what resonates with Gen Z might not land with working professionals.
- Integrate audience feedback and social performance insights into every edit, constantly raising the bar for engagement and watch time.
Collaborate & Communicate
- Partner with scriptwriters, creative directors, and motion designers to turn ideas into visual impact. Your collaboration will accelerate creative cycles and ensure a consistent brand voice.
- Use tools like Slack, Notion, or Asana for daily remote check-ins and project management.
- You simplify complex creative feedback, whether itโs via a quick Loom video or a detailed project note.
Innovate With Tools & Techniques
- Stay ahead of the curve with editing software (such as Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, CapCut, or DaVinci Resolve), AR filters, and platform-specific effects.
- Experiment with AI-powered video tools and mobile-first editing workflows, helping the team automate routine tasks and unlock creative freedom.
- Maintain the highest quality across all aspect ratios, resolutions, and export settingsโyour eye for detail will set our brand apart.
Skills That Set You Apart
- You move fast but never sacrifice intentionโevery cut has a purpose, and every frame tells a story.
- Youโre fluent in the latest vertical video formats, social video trends, and platform algorithm shifts, ensuring our content reaches the widest audience.
- You love solving challengesโwhether thatโs fixing a tricky audio sync or iterating on a trending meme format.
- Visual storytelling comes naturally, and you know how to convey emotion, humor, and urgency, even in just six seconds or less.
- You bring your whole self to remote work: organized, responsive, and fully present in digital meetings, reviews, and feedback loops.
Growth & Work Environment
- Join a fast-evolving creative team that values outcome over output. Youโll have the flexibility to structure your workday around deep focus and creative sprints.
- We trust you to take ownership and deliver. Youโll have the freedom to pitch new concepts, pilot experimental video series, and push boundariesโall while being supported by collaborative peers who want you to succeed.
- Our workflow combines remote collaboration tools, async reviews, and regular team huddles to keep communication smooth, honest, and human.
Tools, Platforms, and LSI Keywords in Action
Your day will be filled with creative possibilitiesโstoryboarding in Figma, editing in Premiere Pro, and sharing progress through Notion or Trello. Youโll optimize videos for maximum retention on TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, consistently staying up-to-date with the best practices for vertical formats and platform updates. Video SEO, mobile storytelling, and real-time feedback are all part of your toolkit.
Who Thrives Here
Youโre excited by rapid feedback loops and high-visibility wins. You love transforming raw footage into memorable digital moments and believe that every edit has the power to inspire, inform, or entertain. Whether youโre refining transitions or pitching a new hook, your work drives the kind of audience growth that can be measured in double taps, shares, and comments.
