Video Editor Needed — Ongoing Work for Marketing Agency (Ads for Tech Companies)

We're a marketing agency producing video ads and content for tech company clients, and we're looking for a reliable, detail-oriented video editor to join our roster for ongoing, recurring work. What You'll Be Doing You'll receive assignments (via Upwork initially, then Notion or Slack once onboarded) containing anywhere from 1–12 clips per batch. Source footage varies: Long-form raw footage (sometimes up to an hour) that needs to be chopped into clips per timestamps we provide Pre-cut clips that just need captions and branding added Fully finished clips (cut + captioned) that just need branding applied — these should turn around fast Core Responsibilities Cut raw footage into clips based on provided timestamps Resize/reframe video for different aspect ratios (including reframing webinar recordings creatively for social formats) Add accurate, engaging captions (dynamic captions are a strong plus) Add on-brand title cards, lower thirds, and text intros Add logo overlays and a clean, professional, on-brand logo outro animation Cut out filler words (ums, ahs, dead air) Stabilize shaky footage when needed Add zooms, crops, and cuts to increase engagement on flatter footage (e.g., webinars, talking-head content) Basic video effects: masking out unwanted objects, bleeping out words Select royalty-free music that feels professional and interesting — not cheesy or generic corporate stock music Work in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects What We're Looking For Strong sense of pacing and engagement — the edit should hold attention, not just be technically correct Excellent caption accuracy Clean, professional, on-brand outro/logo work every time Fast turnaround — same-day or next-day delivery is the expectation, especially for quick branding-only jobs Highly responsive — checks Upwork/messages frequently Comfortable joining Slack or Notion for ongoing assignments Based in or working hours overlapping closely with US Eastern Time (within a couple hours) Process We'll start with a paid test project here on Upwork before moving collaboration over to Notion/Slack for ongoing work.
