[Hiring] Video Editor @Paired

Role Description

We're hiring a Video Editor who makes footage hit to work remotely with their team. This isn't about trimming dead air, adding captions and calling it done. You'll take a raw clip of a ball smashing into a target and turn it into something people watch four times before they scroll.

• Effects, motion graphics, and transitions that actually land.
• Sound design on every hit, whoosh, and impact.
• Pacing so tight there's never a reason to look away.
• Edit in two styles: high-end cinematic edits for brand and hero content, and fast, punchy direct response edits built to sell in ads.

Qualifications

• A portfolio that makes us stop. Nothing else matters as much as this.
• Proven experience editing ads for real DTC physical product brands. We want to see work that actually ran and sold something.
• Mastery of effects, transitions, and sound design, not just cutting and captions.
• A feel for short form: you know what makes someone stop, watch, rewatch, and share.
• Range across cinematic and direct response styles, or world-class in one of them.
• Fast turnaround without dropping the standard.
• Organized and reliable: you label and store files properly, hit deadlines, and give updates without being chased.
• Bonus: Experience editing for sports, gaming, or toy brands.

Requirements

• Paid ads: Turn creator footage and product clips into scroll-stopping ads for Meta and Instagram, built around strong hooks and clear selling points.
• Organic social: Create Reels, TikToks, and Shorts with energy that matches the products.
• Effects and motion: Add on-screen text, tracking, speed ramps, impact frames, shakes, graphics, and anything else that makes a moment pop.
• Sound design: Put SFX on every action, sync cuts to the beat, and choose music that drives the edit instead of just sitting under it.
• Hero and launch content: Produce high-end edits for new product drops and seasonal campaigns.
• Variations: Cut multiple hooks and versions of winning edits so the team can test fast.

Benefits

• Competitive pay of up to $50 USD per hour. Where you land depends on your experience and portfolio.
• Part-time role with flexible hours.
• Ongoing work with real room to grow. For the right editor, there's a constant flow of work as the brand launches new products.
• Creative ownership over how the brand's products look and sound on screen, as part of a company in a high-growth phase.
• 100% remote work flexibility from anywhere.
• Collaborate with creators and an ambitious e-commerce team.
