Video Editor for Home Services marketing agency

We’re a growing marketing company working primarily with contractors and local home service businesses, and we’re looking for a reliable freelance video editor to join us long term. This is not a role for someone who relies on basic template transitions, random effects, cheesy music, or over-edited videos that look like every other ad online. We need someone who understands how to edit clean, modern, conversion-focused video ads that feel natural, professional, and keep attention. What You’ll Be Editing Most of the work will include: Meta / Facebook / Instagram video ads Contractor and home service business footage Talking-head ads On-screen captions and CTAs B-roll integration Pattern interrupts where appropriate Clean transitions that actually fit the footage Music and sound design that match the brand Organic social content Short-form promotional videos A large part of the role will also involve modular ad editing. For example, we may already have a fully edited ad and need you to: Swap in a new hook Replace the body section Test a different CTA Create multiple variations from the same footage Make simple one-step revisions without rebuilding the entire edit So you need to be comfortable with both full edits and fast variation work. What We’re Looking For You should: Have experience editing short-form ads or direct-response content Understand pacing and retention Know how to make captions look professional Have good judgment with transitions, music, B-roll, graphics, and sound effects Be able to follow a brand style instead of forcing your own style onto every project Take feedback well Communicate clearly Be dependable with deadlines Be comfortable working closely with me while we dial in the editing style Be motivated to improve over time I care much more about good judgment and willingness to improve than flashy effects. Long-Term Opportunity This will begin with a trial project. If the trial goes well, I have multiple clients and recurring monthly footage that can be entrusted to you. The goal is to find one editor I can rely on consistently instead of hiring someone different for every project. As the company grows, there will be opportunities for: More consistent work Increased responsibility Higher pay Managing larger portions of our content workflow I’m looking for someone who wants to grow with us, not someone looking for one quick project. Important Freelancers only. No agencies. I want to communicate directly with the person actually doing the editing. To Apply Please send: 2–4 examples of your best short-form ad edits At least one talking-head or direct-response style edit What software you edit in Your typical turnaround time Your rate for short-form ads A short explanation of how you decide when to use transitions, B-roll, music, captions, and sound effects Please do not send a giant portfolio with 50 unrelated videos. I would rather see 3 great examples that match this style.
