Video Editor & Color Grader

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
