Full Job Description
We are a U.S.-based real estate company seeking a talented, creative, and experienced Video Editor & Social Media Manager for a long-term remote position.
Our team handles filming, content ideas, and creative direction. We're looking for someone who can transform raw footage into exceptional, engaging videos while independently managing the editing, preparation, and publishing of our social media content.
Video editing quality is our highest priority. We're looking for someone with a strong creative eye, excellent storytelling skills, and the ability to produce content that stands out. We value creativity and quality over simply knowing how to use editing software.
The ideal candidate is also versatile, organized, proactive, and interested in growing professionally as part of our team.
Compensation: $450–$650 USD/month in potential total earnings, including performance-based bonuses. Starting base compensation is $450/month, with additional earning opportunities based on company performance. Bonuses are variable and not guaranteed.
We offer consistent work, creative freedom within our brand guidelines, opportunities to develop new skills, and long-term career growth.
Job Responsibilities
- Professional Video Editing: Edit approximately 30 original short-form videos monthly, primarily real estate home tours, comedy, and lifestyle content.
- Video Postproduction: Handle professional color correction and grading, audio enhancement, transitions, captions, music, graphics, and visual effects as needed.
- Creative Storytelling: Improve pacing, visual appeal, and audience engagement while maintaining consistent production quality.
- Graphic Design: Create approximately 15 engaging carousel posts monthly.
- Stories: Produce approximately 60 Stories monthly using original and repurposed content.
- Social Media Publishing: Schedule and publish approved content across Instagram, Facebook, Threads, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.
- English Copywriting: Write engaging captions, descriptions, titles, hooks, calls to action, and relevant hashtags.
- Content Management: Maintain an organized content calendar, manage video assets, and ensure timely publication.
- Creative Collaboration: Recommend editing improvements, trends, and new content ideas while following our creative direction.
The 30 monthly videos are original edits distributed across the relevant platforms, not separate videos for each platform. Production targets and turnaround expectations will be confirmed during onboarding.
Job Requirements
- Professional Video Editing: Proven experience producing visually impressive, engaging videos with excellent pacing, storytelling, and production quality.
- Technical Skills: Proficiency in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, CapCut Desktop, or equivalent professional editing software. The quality of your work matters more than which software you use.
- Color Grading: Experience with color correction, LUTs, audio enhancement, and professional video finishing. Experience with Log footage is a plus.
- Creative Ability: Strong understanding of modern short-form video trends, visual storytelling, and audience engagement.
- English Proficiency: At least intermediate English, with the ability to understand spoken instructions, create accurate subtitles, and prepare professional written content using available editing and proofreading tools.
- Social Media Experience: Experience creating, scheduling, and publishing content for major social media platforms.
- Graphic Design: Ability to create professional carousels, Stories, thumbnails, and video covers.
- Equipment: Reliable computer capable of professional video editing and stable, high-speed internet.
- Organization: Strong communication, attention to detail, ability to work independently, and a commitment to meeting deadlines.
- Availability: At least 30 hours per week, with the ability to coordinate with a U.S.-based team.
- Long-Term Commitment: Interested in becoming a dedicated team member, not simply taking on another short-term freelance project.
- Portfolio Required: At least three examples of videos personally edited. We especially encourage examples demonstrating professional color grading, polished commercial production, or real estate video editing.
- Selection Process: Shortlisted candidates will complete a brief English voice-message screening. Finalists may be invited to complete a paid editing test.
