  • Manage multiple projects simultaneously, prioritising effectively and communicating progress clearly
  • Support the continuous improvement of edit workflows, templates, and asset management processes

  • Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects - confident across both tools for editing, motion, and asset adaptation
  • Experience editing performance media and paid social video, with a strong understanding of what drives engagement and conversion in paid channels
  • Ability to cut and adapt content across multiple formats, sizes, and platform specifications efficiently
  • Strong sense of pacing, rhythm, and visual storytelling
  • Comfortable working independently in a fully remote environment and managing a varied, fast-moving workload
  • Delivers consistently high-quality work to brief and deadline without close supervision
  • Clear communication with creative and non-creative collaborators in a remote-first setting
  • Experience with longer-form brand or product content is a plus
  • Proficiency in Adobe Photoshop is a plus - and a willingness to use it across projects is welcomed
  • A portfolio or showreel demonstrating a range of edited work, with performance or social video examples strongly preferred
  • At the time of this posting, the base salary for this position may range from $85,000.00 to $95,000.00.
