Remote Video Editor – Short-Form

Remote Video Editor – Short-Form & Ad Creative

Remote | Argentina-Based | Full-Time Contractor | Paid in USD $5.50 – $8.50 USD/hour (approx. $950 – $1,475 USD/month full-time), paid weekly

Editor de video remoto (contrato full-time, pago en dólares) para una agencia de marketing en Estados Unidos.

Can you take raw footage and turn it into a scroll-stopping ad? Do you know why a viewer drops off at second 3 — and how to re-cut the hook so they don't? If editing is your craft and volume doesn't scare you, keep reading.

We're hiring a Video Editor on behalf of a U.S.-based marketing agency serving home service and remodeling brands. You'll produce the video creative that powers real ad campaigns — working alongside a team of media buyers and copywriters whose campaigns live or die on the quality of your edits. When your video converts, everyone sees it in the numbers.

Argentina runs just a few hours ahead of the U.S. West Coast, so you'll work a normal daytime schedule with solid overlap with the team — same-day feedback, live creative reviews, no overnight shifts.

This is a production role with real output expectations: a minimum of 30 edited pieces of content per week. If you're fast, consistent, and take pride in clean work at volume, you'll thrive here.

What You'll Do

Editing & Production

• Edit a minimum of 30 pieces of content per week — primarily short-form vertical video (ads, social clips, talking-head content, before/after project footage)
• Cut raw client footage into polished, caption-ready edits with strong hooks, tight pacing, and clean audio
• Produce multiple variations of winning ads (new hooks, new CTAs, new openers) for A/B testing
• Format deliverables correctly for Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube placements

Collaboration

• Work directly with media buyers to understand which creatives are performing and iterate on winners
• Turn copywriters' scripts and hooks into finished video
• Manage your queue through the team's project management system and hit deadlines without chasing

Organization & Quality

• Maintain organized project files, brand assets, and templates for each client
• Apply client branding consistently (logos, colors, fonts, end cards)
• Self-review every edit before delivery — clean captions, no dead frames, correct aspect ratios

What We’re Looking For

• 2+ years of hands-on video editing experience
• Deep proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and/or CapCut — fast enough in your tool of choice to hit 6 finished edits per day
• A portfolio of short-form edits: ads, reels, TikToks, or YouTube Shorts
• Strong instincts for hooks, pacing, and retention — you edit for the viewer who's about to scroll away
• Experience creating captions/subtitles and editing for sound-off viewing
• Professional working English (B2+) — briefs, feedback, and captions are in English; the team communicates in English daily
• Organized, deadline-driven, and consistent — volume work requires systems, not heroics
• Reliable home office setup with an editing-capable computer and stable, high-speed internet
• Availability for a consistent Monday–Friday, full-time schedule (Argentina time) with at least 4 hours of overlap with U.S. Pacific business hours

Nice to Have

• Experience using AI tools in your workflow (Runway, Descript, ElevenLabs, CapCut AI features, Midjourney, HeyGen, or similar) — we love editors who use AI to go faster without losing quality
• After Effects / motion graphics skills
• Experience editing direct-response ad creative with measurable results
• Experience editing English-language content for a U.S. audience
• Experience with home services, construction, or local business content
• Thumbnail or static creative design skills (Canva, Photoshop)

What’s Included

• $5.50 – $8.50 USD/hour, paid in USD (approx. $950 – $1,475 USD/month full-time) — placement in the band depends on speed, skill level, and portfolio, with a formal review at 90 days
• Performance bonuses tied to creative performance and output consistency
• Monthly healthcare benefit after 90 days — a fixed USD stipend you can put toward a prepaga (OSDE, Swiss Medical, Galeno, etc.) or private coverage of your choice
• Fully remote, full-time independent contractor position (you invoice monthly under your own monotributo/responsable inscripto status; no local employer of record)
• Daytime hours — no night shifts
• Growth path into a Senior Editor / Creative Lead role as the team scales
• Work with a fast-moving U.S.-based marketing team in the home service industry
