Location:

• Remote/hybrid, preferably on PST hours (US or Canada)

Department:

• Marketing

Hours:

• Starting at 25 hrs/weekly

About the Role:

This isn’t merely a cut-and-export role; we’re looking for a visionary editor who can watch raw footage and immediately envision the perfect edit, while also bringing original content ideas to the table. You will work across a diverse range of content, including short-form social media, long-form YouTube videos, marketing campaigns, and athlete content. A key aspect of this role involves leveraging AI tools to maintain rapid workflow and high-quality output.

If you are an editor with strong opinions about pacing, a deep understanding of what performs on each platform, and a genuine enthusiasm for action sports and adventure content, this is an exciting opportunity for you.

What You’ll Do:

• Edit high-quality video content across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and paid media – encompassing short-form, long-form, and everything in between.
• Bring original content ideas to the team, including series concepts, unique YouTube formats, trending social formats, and compelling athlete storytelling angles.
• Leverage AI editing tools (such as CapCut, Descript, Runway, Adobe AI features, etc.) to significantly accelerate workflow and turnaround times without compromising quality.
• Develop platform-native edits that feel organic and authentic to each platform’s feed, rather than just repurposed or resized content.
• Support shoots, events, and athlete activations on-site when needed, actively capturing content and ensuring best-in-class product usage in real-world environments.
• Help build templates and guidelines that facilitate scalable content quality across various markets and with our partners.
• Manage footage organization, selects, and content libraries to ensure efficient access and prevent loss of valuable assets.

What We’re Looking For:

• 2–4 years of video editing experience, ideally gained in a brand, agency, or creator context. We are also open to applications from fresh graduates or talented self-learners!
• Fluency in professional editing software such as Premiere Pro, Final Cut, or DaVinci Resolve, with a proven track record of actively using AI tools to enhance your editing process.
• A strong creative point of view – you are not just an executor of briefs; you actively contribute to improving them and bringing fresh perspectives.
• Proven understanding of what performs on social media, including effective pacing, captivating hooks, platform-specific behaviors, and trending formats.
• Experience with action sports, outdoor, or adventure content is a strong plus, demonstrating an understanding of this niche.
• Comfortable in the field – capable of shooting, problem-solving on the spot, and consistently getting the desired shot in dynamic environments.
• Proactive communicator who can work independently and effectively across different time zones.
• Fluent in English is required.
