Role Description 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. - Create motion graphics and animations (big plus). - Repurpose content across platforms. - Stay absurdly current. 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?” Qualifications - 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. Requirements - AI tools and workflows: 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. Benefits - 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. How to apply - Send us your portfolio or reel (showing range: short-form, long-form, motion graphics if applicable). - A short Loom or video (3–5 minutes) walking us through your AI-powered editing workflow. Show us your actual process: screen share, tool walkthrough, the works. - A list of AI tools you currently use and how they fit into your daily workflow. - Your monthly rate expectation in USD. - No generic cover letters. No “I’m a fast learner” without proof. Show us the work.
