Role overview
Paired is a global staffing and recruiting agency that specializes in pairing remote work with top-tier talent, dedicated to connecting talented individuals with remarkable companies. This role is for a video editor to handle a high volume of both short-form and long-form content across multiple social platforms.
Responsibilities
- Short-form editing (TikTok, Reels, Shorts, Facebook)
- Edit a high volume of vertical short-form videos (roughly 30–90 seconds) built to stop the scroll in the first 1–3 seconds.
- Cut for each platform's native style: pacing, captions, safe zones, aspect ratios, trending audio and formats.
- Turn raw footage, founder content, creator clips and transformation shoots into multiple hook and format variations per concept.
- Repurpose long-form episodes into clips, carousels-to-video and cutdowns without losing the story.
- Long-form editing (YouTube and Facebook)
- Edit 8–30+ minute YouTube videos with strong story structure, retention-driven pacing, B-roll, music and sound design.
- Build intros, chapter breaks, lower thirds and end screens that keep viewers watching.
- Collaborate on thumbnails and titles with an eye on click-through and retention.
- Create motion graphics, animated text, transitions and branded templates in After Effects.
- Stay current on new AI video tools and pitch ways to use them to ship faster or try new formats.
- Own projects from brief to delivery: organize footage, edit, self-QA, export platform-ready files and hand off on time.
- Maintain and improve our editing systems: project templates, file naming, folder structures, presets, LUTs, caption styles and export settings.
- Track work in our project management tool (ClickUp), updating status as each piece moves through the pipeline.
- Turn around revisions quickly and fold feedback into future edits without being told twice.
Requirements
- 3+ years of professional video editing, with a portfolio showing both short-form and long-form work.
- Advanced proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects..
- Hands-on experience generating video with Higgsfield AI, with examples of AI-generated or AI-assisted footage used in finished edits.
- Proven experience editing for Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and a clear understanding of how each platform's content differs.
- A fast, repeatable workflow: you can show how you organize projects, use templates and presets, and ship multiple finished pieces per day.
- Strong instinct for hooks, pacing, story and sound; you know why one edit holds attention and another doesn't.
- Clear written English for async communication, briefs and feedback.
- Reliable high-speed internet, a capable editing machine and your own Adobe Creative Cloud license.
- At least 4 hours of daily overlap with Pacific Time (PT) for check-ins and fast revisions.
Nice to have
- Experience with other AI tools (Runway, Kling, Veo, ElevenLabs, CapCut AI features, Topaz).
- Experience with brand, DTC, beauty, wellness or transformation/before-and-after content.
- Thumbnail design skills for YouTube.
- Familiarity with DaVinci Resolve for color grading.
- Comfort reading organic analytics (retention curves, watch time, saves, shares) and editing toward them.
- Experience with Frame.io and ClickUp or similar review and project tools.
- Use Higgsfield AI to generate and extend shots, B-roll, product visuals, scene transitions and stylized effects that would be slow or costly to film.
- Blend AI-generated assets seamlessly with live footage so the final piece feels on-brand, not obviously synthetic.
Benefits
- AI tool access provided as needed
Additional details
- Fully remote, async-first. Briefs, footage and feedback live in shared drives, Frame.io and ClickUp, so work keeps moving across time zones.
- Daily overlap. A short daily check-in during your overlap window with Pacific Time, plus written updates on what shipped and what's blocked.
- Turnaround expectations. Short-form edits typically delivered within 24 hours of brief; revisions within one business day; long-form on an agreed schedule.
- Volume. Expect a steady weekly output across short- and long-form. [15–25 short-form + 1–2 long-form per week.]
- Type: Full-time, independent contractor
- Location: Remote, outside the US
- Pay: $2000, paid monthly
- Hours: ~40 per week, with at least 4 hours overlapping Pacific Time
- Equipment: Your own editing setup and Adobe Creative Cloud license
