VIDEO EDITOR - SHORT-FORM & AD CREATIVE

VIDEO EDITOR – SHORT-FORM & AD CREATIVE

Remote | Philippines-Based | Full-Time | Paid in USD $4.50 – $7.50 USD/hour (approx. ₱48,000 – ₱80,000/month full-time; varies with exchange rate) Can you take raw footage and turn it into a scroll-stopping ad? Do you know why a viewer drops off at second 3 — and how to re-cut the hook so they don't? If editing is your craft and volume doesn't scare you, keep reading. We're hiring a Video Editor on behalf of a U.S.-based marketing agency serving home service and remodeling brands. You'll produce the video creative that powers real ad campaigns — working alongside a team of media buyers and copywriters whose campaigns live or die on the quality of your edits. When your video converts, everyone sees it in the numbers. This is a production role with real output expectations: a minimum of 30 edited pieces of content per week. If you're fast, consistent, and take pride in clean work at volume, you'll thrive here.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Editing & Production

• Edit a minimum of 30 pieces of content per week — primarily short-form vertical video (ads, social clips, talking-head content, before/after project footage)
• Cut raw client footage into polished, caption-ready edits with strong hooks, tight pacing, and clean audio
• Produce multiple variations of winning ads (new hooks, new CTAs, new openers) for A/B testing
• Format deliverables correctly for Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube placements

Collaboration

• Work directly with media buyers to understand which creatives are performing and iterate on winners
• Turn copywriters' scripts and hooks into finished video
• Manage your queue through the team's project management system and hit deadlines without chasing

Organization & Quality

• Maintain organized project files, brand assets, and templates for each client
• Apply client branding consistently (logos, colors, fonts, end cards)
• Self-review every edit before delivery — clean captions, no dead frames, correct aspect ratios

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• 2+ years of hands-on video editing experience
• Deep proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and/or CapCut — fast enough in your tool of choice to hit 6 finished edits per day
• A portfolio of short-form edits: ads, reels, TikToks, or YouTube Shorts
• Strong instincts for hooks, pacing, and retention — you edit for the viewer who's about to scroll away
• Experience creating captions/subtitles and editing for sound-off viewing
• Organized, deadline-driven, and consistent — volume work requires systems, not heroics
• Reliable home office setup with an editing-capable computer and stable, high-speed internet
• Availability for a consistent Monday–Friday full-time schedule with at least 3–4 hours of overlap with U.S. Pacific business hours for team communication (the rest of your day is flexible)
