Remote Video Editing Contractor

Make an Impact From Anywhere

Are you driven by the thrill of crafting compelling narratives and delivering polished video content that captivates your audience? This remote video editing contractor opportunity puts your creative instincts front and center, giving you full autonomy to design, cut, and enhance stories that connect. If you see editing as an art form and believe an excellent cut can spark an idea, this is your chance to build something meaningful. Here, you won’t just meet deadlines—you’ll set the standard for quality that others will want to follow. Every frame you touch has the power to inspire, educate, or entertain thousands.

What You’ll Achieve

You’ll transform raw footage into visually arresting stories that help brands grow, educators teach, and communities connect. Expect every day to bring a fresh challenge—one moment refining color balance and sound design, the next collaborating live with content creators on seamless transitions. Your edits will elevate marketing launches, training modules, documentaries, and social content. Each decision you make, from rhythm and pacing to motion graphics integration, will have a tangible impact on our audience’s experience and engagement.

Core Responsibilities

• Shape the narrative: Collaborate closely with creative leads and subject matter experts to clarify goals, translate briefs into storyboards, and execute edits that move audiences.
• Own the edit: Balance narrative intent with technical execution—crafting flow, adding branded motion elements, and ensuring everything’s visually consistent.
• Guide post-production: Oversee color correction, audio leveling, subtitling, and graphics work to ensure every project is sharp, clear, and professional.
• Deliver across channels: Adapt your edits for multiple platforms, from YouTube and Instagram Reels to e-learning libraries and client presentations.
• Offer creative insight: Propose new formats, suggest cutdowns for social virality, and brainstorm ways to make complex topics easily digestible.

Required Skills & Experience

• Mastery of modern video editing software—your toolkit might include Adobe Premiere, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve, or similar professional platforms.
• You simplify complex ideas—whether it’s over Zoom, Slack, or collaborative feedback sessions. Asynchronous remote teamwork comes naturally to you.
• Your portfolio showcases versatility: you’ve created educational content, branded marketing videos, event highlights, and perhaps even dabbled in animation or advanced graphics.
• You’re comfortable with feedback cycles, open to trying new approaches, and don’t shy away from last-minute pivots when creative direction shifts.
• Detail-obsessed, but you know when “done” is better than “perfect”—you can meet tight deadlines without sacrificing story or polish.

Work Environment & Remote Collaboration

We move quickly, but you’ll always have space to focus intensely and produce your best work. You’ll partner with project managers, graphic designers, and subject experts to build unified solutions—sometimes through video calls, other times through written briefs and async reviews. Our collaboration stack is built on Google Workspace, Frame.io, and cloud-based editing, enabling seamless workflow wherever you are. Your voice matters: you’ll have opportunities to propose workflow improvements, test new creative tools, and help shape how we deliver value to clients.

Tools You’ll Use

• Industry-standard editing software: Premiere, Final Cut, or DaVinci Resolve
• Cloud storage and version control tools for media assets
• Real-time collaboration via Frame.io, Slack, and shared review platforms
• Creative plugins for color grading, transitions, and effects
• Video compression tools to optimize final deliverables for web and mobile

What Success Looks Like

Your edits consistently wow clients, drive higher viewer retention, and bring stories to life. You’ll leave a signature of professionalism on every project—whether it’s a snappy social highlight, a deep-dive educational video, or a high-impact launch campaign. You don’t just “get the job done”—you set a bar for what creative, remote-first post-production can look like. Your feedback helps refine not just the content but also the process, pushing the whole team to new heights.

Qualifications & Mindset

• A solid background in video editing—demonstrated by two or more years spent shaping and delivering standout visual projects, along with a body of work that highlights your range and creative evolution
• Comfort managing multiple projects, priorities, and deadlines across time zones
• An eye for detail, a drive to keep learning, and a love for creative problem-solving
• Enthusiasm for experimenting with new video formats, effects, and workflows
• Ability to give and receive constructive feedback that leads to better outcomes
• Experience collaborating in fully remote environments, using tools like Google Workspace, Slack, or Frame.io

Compensation & Growth

This fully remote contract position offers an annual salary of $67,428. As a core contributor, you’ll have the chance to shape high-visibility campaigns, build relationships across a talented team, and expand your skills in video storytelling, motion graphics, and digital communication. The path forward is yours—whether you aspire to lead projects, develop your creative voice, or branch into related disciplines.
