Video Editor
Worldwide
About the Role We are an emerging creative marketing agency that works with luxury fashion and editorial brands, building and scaling their presence across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. We are not looking for a generalist. We are looking for a video editor with a world-class eye and exceptional attention to detail, who understands what actually performs on social and can move between brand worlds, from editorial and cinematic to fast-paced short-form, without losing quality. Every edit must feel intentional, elevated, and unmistakably on-brand. This is an on-call roster role: you will edit across multiple client brands, and your hours will flex with demand. Responsibilities Edit high-performing short-form vertical video (Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts) with strong hooks, pacing, captions, and sound design Edit long-form YouTube episodes optimized for retention and discoverability Repurpose a single recording into multiple platform-native clips Turn raw footage (podcasts, behind-the-scenes, cinematic/editorial, talking-head) into polished, ready-to-publish content Maintain strict brand consistency across every deliverable and every client Contribute creative direction and fresh ideas that elevate each brand's content. Requirements Expert-level proficiency in Lightroom, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or equivalent (non-negotiable) A portfolio of short-form and social work that performed, with an editorial and commercial luxury sensibility and a strong point of view A real understanding of social, hooks, pacing, and platform best practices, not just technical editing Strong command of rhythm, sound design, captions, and visual polish Exceptional attention to detail is required. Fluency in English is required Ability to take creative direction and execute independently with minimal revisions A reliable workflow: clear communication and consistent, on-time delivery What We Are Looking For This role is not for someone still building their portfolio. We need an editor who has worked with real brands, understands how content performs on social, and can produce scroll-stopping, editorial-grade video consistently. Quality, consistency, and a refined aesthetic are the standard here, not the goal. To Apply Submit your proposal with a portfolio or reel, a brief introduction, and two to three examples of short-form or social work most relevant to elevated, editorial, or brand-driven content. Tell us why you are the right fit. Looking forward to meeting you. Please write "videos 101" at the top of your proposal to confirm you have read this in full. Proposals without this will not be considered.
