Video Editor – Storytelling, Retention & Viral Content
Worldwide
Can your edits keep people watching? We’re looking for a storyteller, not a button pusher. Your job is to transform raw footage into emotionally engaging videos that maximize retention and shareability. You’ll work with original cinematic content while constantly testing pacing, emotion, hooks, and audience psychology. You’ll thrive if you: * Love storytelling. * Study successful creators. * Understand retention. * Use AI to edit smarter and faster. This is NOT for editors who rely on flashy transitions instead of strong storytelling. Compensation: USD $300–500/month + performance bonuses. Contract: 4–6 months, renewable. To apply, send: 1. Three pieces of your best work. 2. Tell us which edit you’re most proud of and why. 3. In 150 words or less, explain what makes people keep watching a video.- Do not use AI for your cover letter- write out exactly your core competency and why you’re the best person for this full time position. Share vidies you worked on, and the video went viral
