Job Description
Video Editor
Empower Life Collective
• You'll work closely with leadership and our creative team to own the visual output of our brand across every platform- from scroll-stopping YouTube edits to high-converting Reels, Shorts, and paid ads. • You take a project from raw footage to polished, ready-to-publish content with minimal oversight- on time, on brand, and built to perform. • If you're technically sharp, obsessive about detail, and you thrive on taking full ownership from first cut to final export- this role was built for you.
Job Requirements
- Proven portfolio of short- and long-form video edits (YouTube, Reels/Shorts/TikTok, paid social) with results or reach you can point to.
- Fluency in a professional editing suite (Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut, or CapCut Pro) and a motion/design tool (After Effects or equivalent).
- Comfortable producing both organic social content and direct-response video ads.
- Skilled Video Editor - You independently produce engaging content with captions, clean transitions, b-roll integration, and a sharp sense for pacing and storytelling.
- Motion Graphics Specialist - You craft polished animations, kinetic typography, and dynamic transitions that elevate the story.
- AI-Augmented Editor - You use AI to speed up your workflow - captioning, transcription, b-roll sourcing, rough cuts, upscaling, and audio cleanup - without ever letting it flatten the creative quality. It's a tool that makes you faster, not a substitute for your judgment.
- Detail-Oriented & Organized - You juggle multiple projects, hit deadlines, and keep content flowing smoothly across platforms. You triple-check your work; nothing goes live unless it's polished.
- Creative Eye with a Critical Lens - You can spot what makes a thumbnail pop and a video convert- and you know how to fix what isn't working.
- Strong Communicator & Team Player - You collaborate well across teams and share insights clearly in an async-first environment (Slack/Loom).
- Fluent in English - You write and speak in flawless English, so captions, titles, and slides are grammatically clean and resonate with a native-speaking audience.
Benefits
- Work from Anywhere - Fully remote; work from wherever you're most productive.
- Flexible Hours - Structure your workday around your life while meeting team deadlines.
- Fast-Track Growth - Show us you're great and you won't be waiting long to step up. High performers earn opportunities quickly.
- Ownership & Impact - You won't just fill a role; you'll shape how our brand looks and performs at a company that changes lives every day.
