Contract Full Stack Editor

Who We’re Looking for

We’re hiring a video editor and content producer who can originate ideas, build on a rough concept, and carry it through to a polished short-form video. Your strengths are content ideation, storytelling, and editing, with the taste and initiative to shape the hook, script, and final cut without needing a fully built-out brief. You can also shoot when the idea calls for it.

Reference Videos

(we want narrative driven videos like this going out on a regular, consistent basis (i.e. 1x/week)

What You’ll Work on

• Pitch fresh content ideas, develop hooks and scripts, and turn loose briefs into clear stories and practical production plans.
• Own the edit from raw material through pacing, color, sound, captions, graphics, feedback, and final delivery for social, launches, and brand campaigns.
• Create short-form videos from scripted scenes, case studies, interviews, product moments, office content, and existing footage.
• Help plan footage capture when needed, including simple camera, lighting, and audio guidance and remote direction for the team or filming partners.
• Combine live action with product captures, screen recordings, typography, and motion graphics where they strengthen the story.
• Build repeatable formats and alternate hooks or cuts so we can test ideas and improve quickly.

What You’ll Bring

• A portfolio of strong short-form edits, including work you took from a loose idea to a finished video.
• The ability to generate original content ideas and develop a clear angle, hook, and story from limited direction.
• Comfort shooting on a phone when it’s right for the idea. You choose the setup that serves the content.
• Strong visual storytelling, pacing, comedic timing, sound, and instincts for social formats.
• Confidence directing non-actors, organizing footage and project files, and delivering polished work in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut.
• Proficiency in AI-powered creative workflows and a strong working understanding of Higgsfield, including integrating AI-generated visuals with live-action footage and using AI throughout concepting, preproduction, and postproduction.
• Deep understanding of short-form video best practices, including strong opening hooks, retention-focused pacing, platform-native framing, captions, sound, and testing different cuts.
• Advanced motion graphics experience and After Effects proficiency, with the ability to create polished typography, transitions, compositing, and product animations that integrate naturally with live-action footage.
• Bonus: advanced camera and lighting skills, scripted comedy, or experience creating for technology brands.
