Video Editor & Color Grader

Location: Remote, Philippines
Reports to: Chief Marketing Officer
Experience: 3–5 years as a video editor / motion designer producing ads and creative for digital channels

Role Overview

We are hiring a Video Editor & Grader who can do the whole job — edit, grade, design, mock up product shots, build motion graphics, and ship polished ad creative end-to-end. Editing is the most important skill: we need someone who can take archive footage, product captures, and minimal raw material and turn it into compelling, on-brand ads. Bonus points for fluency in modern AI video tooling.

Key Responsibilities

Editing and grading

• Edit short-form and long-form video across formats: paid social ads, YouTube ads, organic social, product launch videos, explainers, sizzle reels


• Colour grade across the work to a consistent, on-brand look using DaVinci Resolve or comparable


• Cut compelling ads from archive footage, stock, product captures, and limited source material — making a lot from a little


• Optimise edits for each placement (9:16, 1:1, 4:5, 16:9) and platform best practice (Meta, TikTok, YouTube, X, LinkedIn)

Motion graphics and design

• Build motion graphics, lower-thirds, kinetic typography, and animated logos


• Design and mock up product shots, UI demos, and in-app captures for use in ads and marketing assets


• Produce static and animated assets that sit alongside the video work (thumbnails, key art, social cards)


• Maintain consistency with brand guidelines across motion, type, and colour

Ad production at pace

• Turn briefs into shipped ads quickly, with a high hit rate and a willingness to iterate


• Cut multiple variants per concept for testing — different hooks, lengths, aspect ratios, and audiences


• Use AI tools (Runway, Kling, Sora, ElevenLabs, Topaz, etc.) where they save time, expand what's possible, or unlock cheaper production


• Keep an eye on what's working in the wider ad ecosystem and bring fresh creative formats to the team

Collaboration

• Work from briefs supplied by growth, brand, product, and content teams


• Partner with copywriters and creative leads on concept, script, and direction


• Manage and organise project files, source material, and exports so the wider team can find and reuse assets

Requirements

• 3–5 years editing and producing video for digital channels, with a portfolio that shows strong ad work


• Mastery of a modern editing stack — Premiere Pro and/or DaVinci Resolve, plus After Effects for motion


• Strong colour grading skills with a clear, repeatable approach


• Solid design fundamentals (composition, type, colour) and hands-on Photoshop / Illustrator / Figma


• Demonstrable ability to produce strong ads from limited source material — including archive and stock-led edits


• Sharp eye for pacing, hooks, and what makes a paid social ad actually convert


• Self-starter mindset, comfortable owning a brief from concept to delivery


• Strong English communication for working with remote brief-givers and creative leads

Nice to Have

• Hands-on experience with AI video tools (Runway, Kling, Sora, Pika, Luma) and AI audio tools (ElevenLabs, Suno)


• 3D mockup or product visualisation skills (Cinema 4D, Blender, Spline)


• Experience producing for crypto, fintech, trading, or other financial products


• Experience editing UGC-style and creator-led ad formats for paid social


• Sound design and basic audio mixing chops

What Success Looks Like in the First 6 Months

• A consistent, on-brand visual and motion language across the ads you ship


• A noticeably higher volume of testable ad variants in market per brief


• Clear examples of strong ads built from archive or low-cost source material


• AI-assisted workflows documented and shared with the wider creative team
