Video Editor

Role Summary – Video Editor

We’re looking for a GOAT Video Editor who doesn’t just cut clips-you craft stories that stop the scroll, spark emotions, and drive results.

From fire Instagram Reels and Youtube shorts to cinematic brand films, crisp explainer videos, and testimonial gold, you’ll be the final magician who adds rhythm, pace, and that “damn, this hits different” factor. You live in Premiere Pro and After Effects, breathe trends, and turn raw footage into polished, platform-optimized weapons that convert viewers into evangelists.

You’ll collab hard with writers, motion designers, strategists, and voice-over artists in a fast, fun, no-ego environment—taking creative briefs and turning them into content that’s equal parts beautiful and performance-ready.

If you obsess over the perfect cut, love the chaos of agency life, and want every frame to scream brand voice while smashing KPII-this is YOU. Let’s make people feel something and make brands unforgettable.
