Posted 2 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

We're Text In Church, a communication platform serving more than 35,000 church leaders across the US and Canada. We're looking for a video editor to partner with our marketing team on an ongoing basis. Independent contractors and small teams or agencies are both welcome. One thing worth saying upfront: our audience is pastors and church leaders, and our tone is warm and pastoral rather than corporate. You don't need to share our faith background, but you should be genuinely comfortable editing content for a church-serving audience. The Work: 1. Long-form editing: podcast episodes, webinars, and other extended-format video, built from raw footage plus our scripts and storyboards 2. Paid ad video: tighter, conversion-focused cuts for paid social, from our creative direction 3. Motion graphics, text overlays, captions, and branded intros and outros that follow our brand guidelines 4. Color correction and audio mixing to a professional standard Platform-specific deliverables (YouTube, podcast platforms, paid social, website) This is a post-production role. Our team handles scripting and storyboarding, and you bring it to life in the edit. What we're looking for: - Proven experience with both long-form editing and paid ad creative, with a portfolio or reel that shows both if possible Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, or equivalent. - Ability to work from a script or storyboard without needing every decision spelled out 3-5 business day turnaround per video, with occasional faster turnaround on priority projects. - Your own equipment, software licenses, and reliable high-speed internet. - Clear, responsive communication. If a deadline is at risk, we would much rather hear it early than late. Engagement Details: - Ongoing hourly contract, averaging roughly 15-20 hours per week, with lighter and heavier weeks depending on our content calendar - $10-25 per hour, based on experience - 30-day initial trial period, with the goal of a long-term working relationship - Fully remote, managed through ClickUp with async video feedback How to apply - Along with your proposal, please share two short videos as links (Loom, Google Drive, or an unlisted YouTube link all work fine): 1. A 60-90 second introduction. Who you are, your editing background, and why this kind of work interests you. Unscripted and unpolished is completely fine. 2. A 2-3 minute walkthrough of one of your own edits. Screen-share a piece you're proud of and talk us through a few of your pacing or creative decisions and why you made them. - Please also include your portfolio or reel, and your current availability. Thank you for taking the time to put this together. We read every application submitted with, and we know these submissions take real work.
