Professional Video Editor

WORK REMOTELY - SALARY 1,200-1,700 USD

Professional Video Editor

We’re building a high-performance content operation that produces campaign showreels, paid social creatives, and branded video content for brands across Saudi Arabia and the UAE. This role is central to that operation.

You will lead the editing side of production by transforming raw creator footage into polished, high-converting video assets for social, paid media, and brand storytelling. You will also use AI tools to improve speed, workflow efficiency, and creative output without compromising quality.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING:

Video Editing & Post-Production

• Edit post-campaign showreels from raw creator footage into tight, engaging 60-90 second edits
• Cut influencer and UGC footage into Spark Ads and paid video creatives for TikTok and Meta
• Add motion text, subtitles, sound design, transitions, and brand overlays using CapCut, Adobe Premiere Pro, and After Effects
• Produce multiple hook variations from the same source footage, with 3 hooks per video as the standard
• Maintain a consistent visual identity across all output in line with the Expin aesthetic
• Structure edits with performance in mind, ensuring each video is built to capture attention, hold interest, and drive action
• Adapt edits for different aspect ratios and placements including 9:16, 1:1, and 16:9
• Organize raw footage, project files, and final exports in a clean and scalable way

Creative Performance Editing

• Identify the strongest moments in raw footage and turn them into compelling short-form edits
• Build videos around clear content flow: hook, tension, proof, CTA
• Understand platform-native editing styles for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and Meta paid creatives
• Edit with a direct-response mindset, not just aesthetics
• Distinguish between content that performs and content that simply looks polished

AI-Powered Editing Workflows

• Use AI tools such as ChatGPT, Runway, ElevenLabs, Midjourney, or equivalent tools to accelerate production workflows
• Generate hook ideas, subtitle support, voiceover options, storyboard directions, and creative variations using AI-assisted workflows
• Stay updated on emerging creative and editing tools and bring useful workflows to the team proactively
• Build repeatable AI-supported systems that improve output speed without sacrificing craft or consistency

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

• CapCut with strong speed and platform-native editing ability
• Adobe Premiere Pro or After Effects for higher-production editing work
• Strong understanding of pacing, shot selection, rhythm, typography, and visual hierarchy
• Strong portfolio focused on video editing and post-production
• Clear ability to edit both brand content and performance-driven paid creatives

The editorial instinct we’re hiring for

• You watch a 3-minute raw creator video and immediately spot the 15-second hook
• You know how to turn messy footage into clean, sharp, watchable content
• You think in sequences and narrative flow, not just cuts and transitions
• You can match a brand’s aesthetic quickly and accurately
• You understand that good editing serves both story and performance

Nice to have

• Experience editing UGC or influencer content specifically
• Arabic subtitling ability
• Motion graphics or 2D animation
• Experience with TikTok-native editing styles, not just repurposed Instagram content

WHAT YOU’LL PRODUCE:

Campaign showreels: 60-90 sec vertical videos, with a typical volume of 4-8 per month. Spark Ad creatives: 15-30 sec hook variants, with a typical volume of 15-25 per month. Paid social video edits: TikTok and Meta formats, delivered on an ongoing basis. Hook variations: multiple intros from the same source footage, standard across projects. Branded video content: social and campaign assets, produced as needed.
