### **About the Role**

We’re hiring a **Video Editor** to create **high-performing, engaging video content** across social media, marketing, and training.

If you understand **pacing, hooks, and retention**, you’ll do well here.

### **What You’ll Own**

-   DaVinci Resolve

-   Turn raw footage into:

-   Short-form (Reels, TikTok, Shorts)

### **Multi-Platform Optimization**

-   Marketing teams

-   Iterate quickly (goal: **≤ 2 revision rounds**)

### **Performance-Driven Editing**

-   Monitor:

-   Watch time
-   Engagement
-   CTR

-   Improve edits based on what actually performs

### **What Makes You a Strong Fit**

-   You understand **hooks, retention, and storytelling**
-   You can edit both:

-   Fast-paced social content
-   Clean corporate videos

-   You don’t just edit — you improve performance
-   You’re fast, organized, and reliable

### **Required Experience & Skills**

-   Adobe Premiere Pro / Final Cut Pro / DaVinci Resolve

-   Experience with:

### **Interview Process**

-   Initial Phone Screen
-   Recruiter Interview
-   **Practical Task (Edit a 60-second video)**

### **Why This Role Stands Out**

-   Content Lead
-   Creative Strategist

### **Apply Now**

If you:
