[Hiring] Video Editor and Social Media Manager @Remote Raven

Role Description

We are looking for a skilled and versatile Video Editor who can take raw footage and deliver polished, publish-ready content for social media, YouTube, and podcast productions. This is not a role for someone who just cuts clips — we need someone who understands storytelling, pacing, and what it takes to produce a final product that looks and sounds professional across every platform.

Writing captions and scheduling social media posts is a secondary but important part of this role. You understand that a great caption is not an afterthought — it is part of the content. Getting the right content out at the right time on the right platform is a skill in itself, and we need someone who can own that too.

Qualifications

• Strong, demonstrable video editing skills — a portfolio or reel is required for consideration
• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and/or Final Cut Pro
• Excellent captioning skills — both technical (timing, accuracy) and creative (style, engagement)
• Experience managing social media scheduling for a brand, creator, or business
• Understanding of content formats and best practices across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, and LinkedIn
• Strong eye for detail — you notice when a cut is off by half a second or a caption is misaligned
• Reliable high-speed internet and a capable editing setup to handle video files remotely
• Excellent time management and the ability to deliver quality work on deadline

Requirements

• Edit short-form and long-form video content to a high standard — clean cuts, strong pacing, and polished delivery every time
• Work primarily in Adobe Premiere Pro and/or Final Cut Pro — proficiency in at least one is required, both is a strong plus
• Apply color grading, audio balancing, transitions, motion graphics, and visual effects as needed
• Edit content optimized for multiple platforms including Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, and LinkedIn
• Maintain consistent brand look and feel across all video outputs
• Incorporate feedback efficiently and turn around revisions quickly without sacrificing quality
• Organize and manage raw footage, project files, and assets in a clean, retrievable file structure
• Create accurate, well-timed, and visually appealing captions and subtitles for all video content
• Style captions to match brand aesthetics — font, size, placement, color, and animation all matter
• Understand the difference between captions that serve accessibility and captions that drive engagement — and deliver both
• Edit and clean up auto-generated captions to ensure accuracy and readability
• Write and format social media post captions that complement the video and drive action
• Manage content scheduling across social media platforms including Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, and LinkedIn
• Use scheduling tools such as Later, Buffer, Hootsuite, or Meta Business Suite to plan and publish content on time
• Maintain a content calendar and coordinate with the team to ensure consistent, on-brand posting
• Format and adapt video content for platform-specific dimensions, aspect ratios, and length requirements
• Monitor post performance and provide basic analytics reports on reach, engagement, and views
• Stay current on platform algorithm changes, trending formats, and best practices for each channel
• Work closely with the creative team to understand content goals and deliver on the vision
• Provide input on content formats, trends, and ideas that could perform well on social
• Flag when raw footage needs reshoots or additional assets to meet quality standards
• Manage multiple projects simultaneously and meet deadlines consistently

Benefits

• This is a full-time role
• Up to $7/hr
• 100% Remote
