Parallax Innovations Inc. is hiring: Editor in Denver

About Parallax
Parallax is building something that doesn't exist yet: a modern communications engine that treats persuasion like infrastructure. We are a high-velocity content operation backed by committed investors, leading advocacy organizations, and a passionate team that has run some of the largest political media operations in history. We produce content at campaign scale — hundreds of videos, millions of impressions, rapid-response storytelling across every platform. We do this in service of fixing American democracy through the actionable lever of election reform.

We are focused on solving the

Primary Problem . Closed party primaries disenfranchise millions of voters and disincentivize our leaders from solving problems. Open, all-candidate primaries increase participation, improve representation, and dampen polarization. We are here to win open primaries on the state level in order to enfranchise millions of voters and liberate dozens of members of Congress.

Role Description
This is an outcomes-based contractor engagement. Success is measured by what gets shipped, not hours logged:

Volume of finished cuts. 5-10+ polished, publish-ready cuts per week across short-form (TikTok, Reels, Shorts), produced from raw footage and creative briefs

Turnaround speed. Rough assemblies delivered within hours of receiving footage; polished short-form cuts within 24 hours

Platform-correct outputs. Every deliverable shipped to spec for its destination platform — correct aspect ratio, hook structure, pacing, captions, text overlays, and sound design

AI-accelerated pipeline. Editing output that demonstrably leverages AI tools (auto-transcription, rough-cut generation, smart reframing, caption automation) to compress turnaround relative to traditional workflows

Performance-responsive iteration. Recuts and format adjustments delivered in response to analytics shared by the project lead, with clear evidence of learning applied to subsequent cuts

Organized handoffs. Clean project files, labeled exports, and archived source media delivered alongside every cut so the team can locate, repurpose, and audit any asset

Requirements
QUALIFICATIONS

You ship fast. Your track record shows a polished 60-second cut in under 2 hours and a rough assembly in 30 minutes

You're AI-native. You've built AI into your editing practice — Descript, Runway, CapCut's auto-edit, custom GPT-driven processes — and you keep testing new tools

You have taste. Clean cuts, intentional pacing, type that looks designed

You're platform-literate. You understand retention curves, hook theory, and why the first 3 seconds determine everything. You edit for the scroll, not the timeline

Your first cuts land close to final. Clear direction lands cleanly into deliverables without extensive rework cycles

You care about the mission. You want your speed and skill applied to something with stakes beyond brand content

Benefits
WHY THIS GIG

Volume with meaning. Your work will reach millions of people on the most important civic issue in America. High output, high impact

Cutting-edge workflow. We don't just tolerate AI tools — we expect them. An environment that rewards speed and innovation

Creative reps. 5-10 cuts a week means you're constantly sharpening. Every edit is a chance to experiment with pacing, format, and style

It's still early. You'll help define the editorial language of the operation — not inherit someone else's template

Compensation
$7,000 / month retainer paid monthly. Contractor is responsible for all applicable taxes, insurance, and business expenses. No employee benefits provided.
