Video Editor – Short-Form, Long-Form & Branded Content
We’re hiring a sharp, self-driven video editor to help us turn raw footage into scroll-stopping content across YouTube, Reels, TikTok, and brand campaigns.

Role

Full-time or part time (open to either for the right person)

Onsite Sacramento, CA

Start date
ASAP

About the role
You’ll own the edit from raw footage to final export — cutting short-form content for social, long-form videos for YouTube and podcasts, and polished promo and ad creative for marketing campaigns.

This isn’t a button-pushing role. We want an editor with strong instincts for pacing, story, and what makes a viewer stop scrolling. You’ll work closely with our team on creative direction, but you’ll have a real say in how the work comes together.

What you’ll do

Edit short-form vertical content for Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts — fast cuts, captions, hooks that earn the watch time.

Edit long-form videos for YouTube and podcast content — narrative pacing, B-roll, multi-cam syncing, and clean audio.

Cut marketing, promo, and ad creative — brand videos, product spots, paid social ads, and launch content.

Add motion graphics, lower thirds, captions, sound design, and color where needed.

Manage your own project files, exports, and version control. Keep the workflow tight.

Collaborate on creative direction — bring ideas, flag what’s not working, suggest what would.

What we’re looking for

2+ years editing experience with a portfolio that shows range across short-form, long-form, and branded work.

Fluency in Adobe Premiere Pro and/or DaVinci Resolve. After Effects is a strong plus.

A clear sense of pacing and storytelling — you know when to cut and when to let a moment breathe.

Comfort with captions, motion graphics, sound mixing, and basic color correction.

Strong communication and the ability to take direction, give pushback, and hit deadlines without being chased.

Bonus: shooting experience, thumbnail design, or background editing for creator/brand channels.

Nice to have

Experience editing for a YouTube channel or brand with a defined voice.

Familiarity with platform-native trends (TikTok, Reels) without being a slave to them.

Your own opinions about what makes a great cut — we want a collaborator, not a vendor.

We’re an equal opportunity employer and welcome applicants from all backgrounds.
