Video Editor (Fully Remote + Mostly Short-Form), Remote Job

Hi, I’m Jessica Malnik. I run a small consulting and messaging firm working with B2B SaaS and professional services companies. We also run our own media brand, The Remote Work Tribe, where we test and pressure-test everything we do in public. We build our own internal software and tooling. We don’t run on vibes, templates, or generic workflows. Most of our work is built on systems we’ve designed and iterated ourselves. I’m hiring a part-time operator who can do two things well: • Ship video fast with taste • Handle just enough ops and research work that things don’t stall You'll work directly with a founder, be given creative autonomy and freedom, learn how to make content that performs, and build a portfolio of shorts in a high-growth niche. This candidate should be comfortable working mostly async, owning outcomes, and hates boring videos as much as I do. What you’ll be doing Roughly 60-80% of your time will be video. • Editing shorts to make them pop, including strong visual hooks, pacing, captions, zooms, screenshots, memes, and fast cuts. • Turning smart moments into clips that feel alive. • Shipping volume. Speed and momentum matters more than perfection. • Following a loose creative direction, not pixel-perfect briefs. If you live on YouTube, TikTok, or Reels and instinctively know when something drags, this is your lane. Roughly 20-40% of your time: ops + execution support • Drafting copy for video descriptions, client deliverables, and internal docs using examples and AI workflows. • Running research, organizing messy inputs into structured outputs, and packaging work so it's ready to ship. • This isn't glamorous, but it’s finite, async, and important. How this role actually works • You’ll usually get a goal, examples, and rough timestamps, not step-by-step instructions. • You’re expected to make reasonable assumptions, proceed, and note what you assumed. • If something is genuinely risky, you flag it once. Otherwise, you move forward. • You don’t need to worry about any account management or client comms. This is purely an internal role. • We’re async-first. Meetings are rare and short. About you You’re likely a good fit if: • You’re comfortable experimenting and know that the best videos tends to be shipped fast and then you iterate based on what you learn. • You live on TikTok, Youtube/YouTube Shorts, or Instagram Reels and can detect when the hook, pacing, and storytelling are money. • You obsess over adding the right memes, contextual b-roll, graphics, and fast cuts. If you don’t know what this means, this probably isn’t the right role for you. • You’re video-native and already editing video in some capacity regularly especially if it is just for a side hustle, client work, or passion projects. • You can tolerate some ops work to keep creative output flowing. • You hate meetings and prefer to work independently. • You probably have side projects, experiments, or past work where you had to do all of the creative execution yourself. You will not enjoy this role if: • You want a role where you are a project manager and just overseeing other people doing the work. • You optimize for polish at the expense of speed and momentum. Tools you should already be comfortable with • CapCut, Descript, or Premiere Pro (or similar short-form editing tools) • Claude and ChatGPT • Google Docs and Google Sheets • Slack • Trello Bonus if you’ve worked with AI agents and AI-assisted workflows beyond basic prompting. If you’ve experimented with Claude Code, Claude Cowork, Codex, or OpenClaw/formerly Clawdbot, mention it in your application. Pay, and logistics • Async, fully remote • A few hours of overlap with U.S. MT preferred • $1,000-2,500 USD per month depending on experience. • This is a deliverable-based role where you will be expected to ship a set number of deliverables each week but can work on it on your own schedule as long as you meet your deadlines. • Part-time long-term contract role • Performance-based bonuses based on volume and quality How to apply • Applications go through a Google form. • The answers in the application form matter far more than your resume or experience. • You are welcome to be creative and proactive. However, only people who fill out the Google Form application will be considered. Apply tot his job Apply To this Job
