Freelance Video Editor (Part Time)

Job Summary: Walsh|Sheppard is seeking a freelance video editor to support our creative team on an ongoing basis. This role is best suited for a technically strong editor who can take footage, rough cuts, and creative direction and turn them into polished, client-ready video content.

This is not primarily a directing or concept role. We are looking for someone who is comfortable working from established direction, assembling and refining edits, incorporating feedback, and delivering clean, professional final outputs efficiently. The right candidate will be comfortable handling detailed revision requests, meeting turnaround expectations, and maintaining strong technical standards across multiple projects.

Our video work varies widely, so the ideal candidate should be comfortable editing across a range of formats, styles, and client needs. Though this job is fully remote, preference will be given to Alaska-based applicants. Freelancers are welcome to work out of our Anchorage office (111 W 9th Avenue) and may occasionally be asked to collaborate with our creative team during normal business hours (9 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday). We expect this role to require approximately 10-20 hours of work per week. Freelancers will be given an advanced opportunity to apply for full-time positions as they open. Students are encouraged to apply!

Who we’re looking for:

• A technically strong video editor who is dependable, efficient, and easy to work with.

• Someone comfortable with revision cycles, detailed feedback, and fast turnaround.
• Someone who understands that support roles are critical to the quality and speed of the creative team.

Responsibilities

• Edit video content from provided footage, rough cuts, or storyboard direction into polished final deliverables.
• Assemble sequences, trim footage, and structure edits to match project goals, tone, and messaging.
• Incorporate feedback and revision notes quickly and accurately.
• Create captions and subtitles as needed, with strong attention to timing, readability, and accuracy.
• Add or refine transitions, music, sound, titles, and simple motion elements as needed.
• Ensure consistency with brand guidelines and visual style across projects.
• Export files in the appropriate formats for web, social media, presentations, and other digital platforms.
• Maintain organized project files and follow clear naming and storage conventions.
• Communicate clearly about progress, questions, and timing so projects stay on track.

Requirements

• Strong technical skills in professional video editing software such as Adobe Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro.
• Ability to produce high-quality motion graphics and animated content using Adobe After Effects, including branded assets, social media content, and video enhancements.
• Solid understanding of pacing, structure, and storytelling across a range of video formats.
• Ability to take the provided footage and rough direction and deliver a polished, professional final edit.
• Experience creating accurate, well-timed captions and subtitles.
• Strong written English skills and the ability to understand detailed feedback and revision requests.
• Excellent attention to detail.
• Ability to work quickly while maintaining quality and consistency.
• Strong organizational skills for project files, assets, and exports.
• Reliable internet access and dependable availability during the required Alaska time overlap.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience editing marketing, promotional, or brand content.
• Experience producing video for social media, digital ads, websites, and presentations.
• Experience with motion graphics or animation is a plus.
• Ability to create animated text, title cards, lower thirds, logo animation, simple graphic transitions, or other light motion elements is a plus.
• Experience with Adobe After Effects or similar motion design tools is a plus.
• Experience with color correction, audio cleanup, and basic sound balancing is a plus.
• Experience working with agency or in-house marketing teams.
