We are seeking a high-energy Short-Form Video Editor (Social & Hype Content) to join a specialized offshore production pod.

• Cut trailers, previews, teasers, drop announcements, and hype cuts from episode masters and raw gameplay.

• Differentiate content strategies across platforms: optimize specifically for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, Snap, and X.

• Maintain process discipline: name files to taxonomy, tag, file, and deliver assets with clear production notes.

• Flexibly support narrative gaming cuts or brand edits when pod workloads peak.

• Hype-Building Track Record: Demonstrated experience cutting promotional material that builds anticipation for a series, drop, launch, or creator event.

• Short-Form Social Mastery: Native understanding of TikTok, Shorts, and Reels algorithms and trends; knows why a video holds attention in the first second and why captions carry watch time.

• On-Screen Copywriting: Ability to write snappy, context-aware on-screen text and captions directly in English.

• Technical Proficiency: Fluent in Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve.

• Language & Communication: Excellent written English communication for seamless feedback and copy execution.

• Hardware Setup: Must own a machine capable of 4K multicam editing (Apple Silicon M2+ or PC with dedicated GPU and 16GB+ RAM), dual displays (at least one 1440p), fiber internet (25Mbps+ upload) with a backup line, a UPS, and professional mixing headphones/monitors.

Nice-to-Have

• Working knowledge of gaming culture (Roblox, Fortnite, GTA, Minecraft).

• Motion graphics capability in After Effects for dynamic text overlays and callouts.

• Experience utilizing AI tools for fast transcription, captioning, and selects.

• Basic graphic design skills in Photoshop or Figma for thumbnail and teaser creation.

Key Qualities

• Performance-Curious: Pays attention to content metrics and proactively suggests new hype formats based on what works.

• Self-Starter: Proactively pulls tasks from the queue rather than waiting for micro-assignments.

• End-to-End Owner: Delivers complete, packaged assets ready for publication.

• Adaptable & Fast: Knows how to balance a 5-minute quick trim with a 40-minute crafted trailer edit without sacrificing quality.

• Low Drama, High Output: Collaborative, clear, and dependable in a fast-paced creative environment.

• 100% Remote Work – Work from anywhere in the Philippines.

• Career Growth Opportunities – Gain hands-on experience, and continuous learning.
