We’re looking for a video editor who’s already living in the future. Someone who doesn’t just know how to cut a timeline, but knows how to use AI to obliterate what used to be a full day’s work in under an hour. You’re a storyteller first, a technologist second, and an efficiency machine always.

If you still think Premiere Pro’s auto-reframe is “cutting-edge AI,” this isn’t the role for you. We want the person who’s already generating B-roll with Runway, editing transcripts in Descript, prompting Kling for character-consistent clips, and stitching it all together before most editors have opened their project file.

Motion graphics and animation skills are a massive plus, but what’s non-negotiable is speed, storytelling instinct, and an obsessive relationship with AI tools.

Responsibilities

• Edit video content fast. Short-form (Reels, TikTok, Shorts), long-form (YouTube, podcasts, courses), and branded content. You’ll own the full post-production pipeline from rough cut to final delivery.

• Use AI to 10x your output. Leverage tools like Descript, CapCut, Runway, Kling, Pika, Veo, and whatever dropped last Tuesday to automate silence removal, generate captions, create B-roll, extend clips, remove backgrounds, and handle the grunt work that used to eat your day.

• Tell stories, not just assemble clips. You understand pacing, hooks, emotional arcs, and platform-native storytelling. You know that a 60-second Reel and a 15-minute YouTube video require fundamentally different editorial approaches.

• Create motion graphics and animations (big plus). Lower thirds, animated titles, logo reveals, data visualizations, kinetic typography. If you can make things move beautifully in After Effects, Cavalry, or even CapCut’s motion tools, you’ll jump to the top of the list.

• Repurpose content across platforms. Take one long-form recording and produce 10–20+ short-form clips optimized for each platform’s algorithm, aspect ratio, and audience expectations.

• Stay absurdly current. You’re the person who watches every AI tool launch, tests it within 48 hours, and has an opinion on whether it’s actually useful or just hype.

What "great" looks like (success metrics)

In your first 30 days, you’ve established a workflow that turns raw recordings into polished, platform-ready content in a fraction of the time a traditional editor would need. You’re proactively suggesting AI tools and techniques the team hasn’t considered. You’re not waiting for instructions: you’re shipping work that makes people say “how did you do that so fast?”

We don’t care if you’re 18 or 41, if you have a degree or dropped out. We care about output, speed, and taste. If your portfolio shows you can tell a story and your workflow shows you’re leveraging AI to move at a speed that makes traditional editors uncomfortable, you’re our person.

Must-haves

Core editing

• 2+ years of professional video editing experience with a strong portfolio (or less experience if your AI-powered workflow and output quality speak for themselves)

• Expert-level proficiency in at least one NLE: Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro

• Strong understanding of storytelling, pacing, and narrative structure

• Experience editing for social media platforms (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram Reels, LinkedIn)

• Solid color grading, audio mixing, and sound design fundamentals

AI tools and workflows

This is the part that matters most. You should already be using (or deeply familiar with) a significant number of these:

• Text-based editing: Descript (edit video by editing the transcript, AI filler word removal, Studio Sound)

• AI-powered editing: CapCut Pro (auto-captions, smart reframing, AI effects, background removal)

• AI video generation: Runway Gen-4/4.5, Kling 2.6/3.0, Pika, Google Veo 3, Sora 2, Luma Dream Machine, Seedance

• AI image generation: Midjourney, DALL-E, Adobe Firefly, Stable Diffusion (for storyboards, concept art, and reference frames)

• AI audio: ElevenLabs, Play.ht, or similar for voiceover generation and voice cloning

• AI avatars and lip sync: HeyGen, Synthesia, or Kling’s native lip-sync capabilities

• Automation: Familiarity with AI-powered content repurposing tools (Opus Clip, Clippie, Vizard, etc.)

You don’t need to be an expert in every single one. But if you looked at this list and thought “what are those?”, this isn’t the right fit.

Nice-to-haves

• Motion graphics and animation experience (After Effects, Cavalry, Rive, or Blender)

• Experience with AI-generated video workflows for commercial production (prompt engineering for video models, image-to-video pipelines, character consistency techniques)

• Understanding of YouTube algorithm optimization (thumbnails, hooks, retention editing)

• Experience with podcast/vodcast production and multi-camera editing

• Ability to create branded templates and design systems for recurring content

• Basic understanding of color science and cinema camera profiles (LOG, LUTs)

• Comfortable working with AI agents and automation tools to batch-process content

Compensation and perks

• Monthly Rate: $1,000–$1,500/month USD depending on experience, skills, and country

• Paid Time Off: 15 PTO days + 10 unpaid days + 2 sick days (after 6 months)

• Work Anniversary Gifts: performance bonuses and career growth

• Flexible Hours: Full-time with some flexibility on hours (time zone overlap with EST/CST required)

• Work from anywhere: all you need is Wi-Fi

• Tools provided: Subscription to key AI tools and software covered by the company

• Growth: This role will evolve fast - if you grow with it, so does your compensation
