[Hiring] Video Editor @Shadow Light Studios

Role Description

We’re looking for an exceptional Video Editor who knows how to turn raw footage into algorithm gold.

• Edit fast-paced, thumb-stopping TikToks and Reels for major brands and creators
• Apply viral editing principles: strong hooks, meme integration, visual storytelling, retention tricks
• Work with our creative team on concepts, pacing, storytelling angles, and punchlines
• Adapt footage across platforms, repurpose content, and keep things fresh
• Push boundaries — with style, sound, timing, and ideas

Qualifications

• A portfolio that slaps — we want to see edits that made people stop scrolling
• Fluency in the language of TikTok, IG Reels, and YouTube Shorts
• Comfort working with raw footage and building from scratch
• Skills in Adobe Premiere, CapCut, After Effects, or similar — whatever makes you fast and deadly
• Speed, reliability, and a creative POV
• Bonus points if you’ve worked with creator-led brands or influencer content

Benefits

• Work on 🔥 projects with brands everyone talks about
• Full creative freedom — we don’t micromanage, we collaborate
• Remote, async, and flexible — we care about output, not hours
• Be part of a team that’s obsessed with staying ahead of the curve
• Huge opportunity to grow into a lead or creative director role
