Video Editor

Remote – U.S. & Canada Only | Full-Time | $65,000–$75,000 USD

We’re not hiring a Video Editor to trim clips. We’re hiring a storyteller who brings strategy to life through sharp, scroll-stopping edits.

Level Agency is looking for a creative, resourceful, and performance-minded Video Editor to join our growing content team. This role blends technical precision with creative vision—editing and optimizing short-form and long-form video content across platforms, audiences, and formats. If you can craft narratives that convert, love collaborating across disciplines, and want to grow your creative range, this role is for you.

You’ll partner with motion designers, creative strategists, and account teams to produce video assets that don’t just look great—they drive measurable results.

This Isn’t for Everyone

We’re building something rare: a creative team that values performance as much as polish.

You’ll thrive here if:

• You know how to structure and pace video for different platforms and goals
• You’re as comfortable crafting story as you are fine-tuning audio
• You treat feedback as a path to stronger work
• You iterate fast and stay cool under shifting deadlines
• You use AI to speed up process, not shortcut quality

And you’ll struggle here if:

• You’re not proactive with feedback, deadlines, or versioning
• You struggle to translate briefs or strategy into creative choices
• You resist new tools, specs, or formats

Your Role (and Impact)

As a Video Editor, you’ll create and refine performance-driven content across paid and organic channels.

You will:

• Own edits from first cut to final delivery across short-form, long-form, and UGC-style content
• Cut commercials, social ads, explainers, product demos, and more
• Create compelling narratives that align with brand, platform, and audience goals
• Mix audio, dialogue, music, and effects for clarity and polish
• Add motion text, subtitles, and light animation where needed to enhance engagement
• Build multiple variations (lengths, hooks, captions, aspect ratios) to support testing
• Collaborate closely with motion designers, copywriters, and strategists
• Use AI tools to speed up editing, generate variations, and improve workflows
• Apply performance insights to iterate on content and improve impact
• Stay current on editing trends, best practices, and platform specs

Requirements

Must-Haves:

• 2–4 years of video editing experience in a fast-paced creative environment
• Strong reel or portfolio showing short- and long-form editing work
• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Creative Cloud

• Familiarity with platform-specific specs and best practices (Meta, YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn)
• Solid understanding of codecs, formats, accessibility, and digital performance standards
• Ability to take feedback constructively and deliver high-quality revisions quickly
• Strong organization, version control, and attention to detail

Preferred Experience:

• Experience editing for paid ad campaigns, especially UGC-style or performance-driven content
• Working knowledge of accessibility standards (ADA, WCAG)
• Familiarity with motion graphics tools like Lottie, Figma, or templates
• Understanding of how creative aligns to broader brand and performance goals

AI Expectations

At Level, AI is a core skill—not a novelty. In this role, you will:

• Use tools like ChatGPT, Midjourney, Runway, and Perplexity to generate content ideas, accelerate versioning, and enhance execution
• Share prompts and process improvements with the broader team
• Stay curious and experimental, treating AI as a multiplier for quality and speed
• Embrace iteration and learning as tools evolve
