About this role
<h3>Remote Video Editor – Short-Form & Ad Creative</h3><p>Remote | Argentina-Based | Full-Time Contractor | Paid in USD $5.50 – $8.50 USD/hour (approx. $950 – $1,475 USD/month full-time), paid weekly</p><p><em>Editor de video remoto (contrato full-time, pago en dólares) para una agencia de marketing en Estados Unidos.</em></p><p>Can you take raw footage and turn it into a scroll-stopping ad? Do you know why a viewer drops off at second 3 — and how to re-cut the hook so they don't? If editing is your craft and volume doesn't scare you, keep reading.</p><p>We're hiring a Video Editor on behalf of a U.S.-based marketing agency serving home service and remodeling brands. You'll produce the video creative that powers real ad campaigns — working alongside a team of media buyers and copywriters whose campaigns live or die on the quality of your edits. When your video converts, everyone sees it in the numbers.</p><p>Argentina runs just a few hours ahead of the U.S. West Coast, so you'll work a normal daytime schedule with solid overlap with the team — same-day feedback, live creative reviews, no overnight shifts.</p><p>This is a production role with real output expectations: a minimum of 30 edited pieces of content per week. If you're fast, consistent, and take pride in clean work at volume, you'll thrive here.</p><h3>
<br>What You'll Do</h3><h3>Editing & Production</h3><ul>
<li><p>Edit a minimum of 30 pieces of content per week — primarily short-form vertical video (ads, social clips, talking-head content, before/after project footage)</p></li>
<li><p>Cut raw client footage into polished, caption-ready edits with strong hooks, tight pacing, and clean audio</p></li>
<li><p>Produce multiple variations of winning ads (new hooks, new CTAs, new openers) for A/B testing</p></li>
<li><p>Format deliverables correctly for Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube placements</p></li>
</ul><h3>Collaboration</h3><ul>
<li><p>Work directly with media buyers to understand which creatives are performing and iterate on winners</p></li>
<li><p>Turn copywriters' scripts and hooks into finished video</p></li>
<li><p>Manage your queue through the team's project management system and hit deadlines without chasing</p></li>
</ul><h3>Organization & Quality</h3><ul>
<li><p>Maintain organized project files, brand assets, and templates for each client</p></li>
<li><p>Apply client branding consistently (logos, colors, fonts, end cards)</p></li>
<li><p>Self-review every edit before delivery — clean captions, no dead frames, correct aspect ratios</p></li>
</ul><h3>What We're Looking For</h3><ul>
<li><p>2+ years of hands-on video editing experience</p></li>
<li><p>Deep proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and/or CapCut — fast enough in your tool of choice to hit 6 finished edits per day</p></li>
<li><p>A portfolio of short-form edits: ads, reels, TikToks, or YouTube Shorts</p></li>
<li><p>Strong instincts for hooks, pacing, and retention — you edit for the viewer who's about to scroll away</p></li>
<li><p>Experience creating captions/subtitles and editing for sound-off viewing</p></li>
<li><p>Professional working English (B2+) — briefs, feedback, and captions are in English; the team communicates in English daily</p></li>
<li><p>Organized, deadline-driven, and consistent — volume work requires systems, not heroics</p></li>
<li><p>Reliable home office setup with an editing-capable computer and stable, high-speed internet</p></li>
<li><p>Availability for a consistent Monday–Friday, full-time schedule (Argentina time) with at least 4 hours of overlap with U.S. Pacific business hours</p></li>
</ul><h3>Nice to Have</h3><ul>
<li><p>Experience using AI tools in your workflow (Runway, Descript, ElevenLabs, CapCut AI features, Midjourney, HeyGen, or similar) — we love editors who use AI to go faster without losing quality</p></li>
<li><h3>After Effects / motion graphics skills</h3></li>
<li><p>Experience editing direct-response ad creative with measurable results</p></li>
<li><p>Experience editing English-language content for a U.S. audience</p></li>
<li><p>Experience with home services, construction, or local business content</p></li>
<li><p>Thumbnail or static creative design skills (Canva, Photoshop)</p></li>
</ul><p>When you apply, include the word TIMELINE in the "Anything else you'd like us to know?" field. This is how we know you read the full post.</p><h3>
<br>What's Included</h3><ul>
<li><p>$5.50 – $8.50 USD/hour, paid in USD (approx. $950 – $1,475 USD/month full-time) — placement in the band depends on speed, skill level, and portfolio, with a formal review at 90 days</p></li>
<li><p>Performance bonuses tied to creative performance and output consistency</p></li>
<li><p>Monthly healthcare benefit after 90 days — a fixed USD stipend you can put toward a prepaga (OSDE, Swiss Medical, Galeno, etc.) or private coverage of your choice</p></li>
<li><p>Fully remote, full-time independent contractor position (you invoice monthly under your own monotributo/responsable inscripto status; no local employer of record)</p></li>
<li><h3>Daytime hours — no night shifts</h3></li>
<li><p>Growth path into a Senior Editor / Creative Lead role as the team scales</p></li>
<li><p>Work with a fast-moving U.S.-based marketing team in the home service industry</p></li>
</ul><h3>

You'll be asked to share a link to 3–5 of your best short-form edits and briefly describe one of them: what the goal was, and the editing choices you made to hit it.
