About this role
<h3>Video Editor – Short-Form & Ad Creative</h3><p><strong>Remote | Philippines-Based | Full-Time | Paid in USD</strong><strong>$4.50 – $7.50 USD/hour</strong> (approx. ₱48,000 – ₱80,000/month full-time; varies with exchange rate)</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 <strong>Video Editor</strong> 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>This is a production role with real output expectations: <strong>a minimum of 30 edited pieces of content per week.</strong> 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><h3>2+ years of hands-on video editing experience</h3></li>
<li><p><strong>Deep proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and/or CapCut</strong> — 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>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 with <strong>at least 3–4 hours of overlap with U.S. Pacific business hours</strong> for team communication (the rest of your day is flexible)</p></li>
</ul><h3>Nice to Have</h3><ul>
<li><p>Experience using <strong>AI tools</strong> 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 with home services, construction, or local business content</p></li>
<li><p>Thumbnail or static creative design skills (Canva, Photoshop)</p></li>
</ul><p><em>When you apply, include the word FRAMEWORK in the "Anything else you'd like us to know?" field. This is how we know you read the full post.</em></p><h3>
<br>What's Included</h3><ul>
<li><p><strong>$4.50 – $7.50 USD/hour, paid in USD</strong> (approx. ₱48,000 – ₱80,000/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><strong>Performance bonuses</strong> tied to creative performance and output consistency</p></li>
<li><p><strong>HMO coverage on your terms</strong> — after 90 days, choose the HMO plan that fits you (and your family), and we cover it through a monthly healthcare benefit. You pick the provider; we pay for it.</p></li>
<li><h3>Fully remote, full-time position</h3></li>
<li><p><strong>Growth path</strong> 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>
