Video Editor (Remote) Job at Nine Eight Central in Greenville

Nine Eight Central · Greenville, CO, USA · Remote ·

Job type:
Full Time

9/8 Central is looking for a Junior Video Editor who loves the craft of short-form social video and wants to keep pushing it forward.

You'll work across a mix of projects, from brand films to podcast content, but social is where you'll spend most of your time. You stay current on what's working on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. You think about why content holds attention, what makes a viewer stop scrolling, and how editing choices drive that. You're early in your career but serious about the craft. If editing social content feels like the most interesting problem in the room, this role was built for you.

You care about pacing, storytelling, clean edits, and making every frame feel intentional. Whether you're organizing footage, tightening a sequence, or fine-tuning audio, you take pride in turning raw media into something polished.

You follow what's working, experiment with format and pacing, and stay current on platform-specific trends because you actually find it interesting, not because someone asked you to. You know that editing for social is its own discipline, and you want to get good at it.

You enjoy collaborating with experienced editors, asking thoughtful questions, and applying feedback to become better with every project. You're organized enough to manage multiple edits at once, adaptable when priorities shift, and motivated by seeing a creative vision come to life.

Most importantly, you love the craft of editing. Edit short-form social video for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube with platform-specific intent
Stay current on short-form content trends, emerging editing techniques, and platform algorithm changes, and bring that awareness into your work
Edit a variety of video formats under the guidance of our senior editors, from social clips to brand films
Ingest, back up, and organize footage and digital assets
Work with a mix of media including video, audio, photos, and graphics to assemble polished final pieces
Create captions for social media videos so content works across every platform
Collaborate with internal teams to understand the creative vision behind each project
Manage multiple projects with overlapping deadlines without losing the details
 
You love editing social content.
You understand that editing for social is different from editing for broadcast or long-form. You know how pacing, hooks, and audio choices affect retention. You stay current on what's working across platforms and bring that knowledge into every edit.

From footage and project files to exports and archives, you keep everything in its place and can confidently manage multiple projects without losing the details.

Editing fundamentals matter.
You have a solid understanding of pacing, continuity, storytelling, and audio. You're comfortable in Adobe Premiere Pro and are eager to keep sharpening your technical and creative skills.

You welcome feedback, apply it to your work, and see every project as an opportunity to become a stronger editor. That same curiosity extends to the platforms you're editing for.

You ask thoughtful questions, collaborate well with producers and editors, and keep teammates informed throughout the editing process.

Whether it's a jump cut, audio pop, typo in captions, or inconsistent graphics, you're committed to delivering polished work.

You can balance multiple projects, adapt to changing priorities, and maintain quality when timelines get tight.

You're a dependable teammate who enjoys contributing to a shared creative vision. Experience with Adobe Premiere Pro (required)
A solid grasp of editing fundamentals: pacing, continuity, storytelling, and audio
Active familiarity with short-form content on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. After Effects, Photoshop, motion graphics, animation, color correction, or agency/production experience is a plus

Your teammates know they can count on you to support the editing process and keep projects moving.

You come to edit sessions, reviews, and team meetings with your projects organized and ready to discuss
You keep footage, project files, and assets organized so others can easily jump in when needed
You stay focused and dependable during busy production schedules, maintaining attention to detail even when juggling multiple projects

You ask questions when creative direction, feedback, or priorities aren't clear
You communicate your progress and let teammates know early if a deadline or revision may be at risk
You speak up when you notice missing footage, technical issues, or inconsistencies that could affect the final edit
You keep producers and editors informed so expectations stay aligned throughout a project

You're committed to mastering your craft, including what's working in social content right now.

You continuously build your editing skills and deepen your knowledge of Premiere Pro and the Adobe Creative Suite
You follow short-form content trends across platforms and bring that awareness into how you approach pacing, cuts, and format
You maintain organized timelines, project files, and media so projects stay efficient and easy to manage
You understand and follow our editing standards, naming conventions, backup procedures, and delivery processes
You pay close attention to pacing, continuity, audio, graphics, and visual details that improve the quality of each edit
Creative work doesn't always go according to plan. You adapt when priorities shift, revisions change, or new creative direction is introduced
You troubleshoot technical issues, missing assets, or workflow challenges before they slow down a project
You stay organized while balancing multiple edits with competing deadlines
You look for creative solutions that strengthen the story, even when working with limited footage or resources
You remain calm under pressure and maintain a positive attitude that helps the team keep moving
