This is not an editor role.

This is a leader of editors role.

You will own the performance, engagement, and output quality of our 40+ global video editors.

You are responsible for building a high-performance editing organization: where output is fast, quality is consistent, and underperformance is handled quickly.

Think of this role as a Head Coach of a Global Editing Team, not a player.

What You’ll Do:

Own Editor Performance

• Set and enforce clear output and quality standards
• Track editor-level KPIs (speed, revisions, retention performance of content)
• Identify underperformance early and act fast

Lead and Manage a Global Team

• Directly manage 40+ overseas editors
• Maintain engagement, morale, and accountability across time zones
• Create a culture of high standards and ownership

Train and Develop Editors

• Own onboarding and ramp for all new editors
• Build training systems, SOPs, and editing playbooks
• Continuously upskill the team based on what’s working in content

Enforce a High-Performance Bar

• Coach up or transition out underperformers quickly (~2-3 weeks)
• Maintain a team of A-players only
• Eliminate bottlenecks and excuses

Improve Systems & Scale

• Standardize editing frameworks across clients and niches
• Identify inefficiencies in workflows and fix them
• Partner with leadership to scale output without sacrificing quality

Operate as an Owner

• Treat the editing team as a performance engine
• Balance speed, quality, and cost efficiency
• Make decisions based on data, not emotion

What We’re Looking For

You are:

A Proven People Leader

• You’ve managed large teams (ideally remote or overseas)
• You know how to drive performance—not just maintain relationships

Operationally Strong

• You think in KPIs, scorecards, and systems
• You’ve built or improved workflows at scale

High Standards, Low Tolerance for Mediocrity

• You are comfortable making fast personnel decisions
• You don’t carry underperformers

Deeply Familiar with Short-Form Content

• You understand what makes content perform on TikTok, Reels, Shorts
• You can translate performance into editing direction

Structured and Systems-Driven

• You build repeatable processes, not chaos
• You document and standardize what works

Calm, Direct, and Decisive

• You can manage a high-volume team without getting reactive
• You give clear, direct feedback

Minimum Requirements

• 3-5+ years managing editors or creative teams
• Experience managing remote or international teams
• Strong understanding of short-form content performance
• Proven track record improving team output and efficiency
• Excellent communication and leadership skills

Base: $50k/annually

How We Train & Filter

We do not hand this role out lightly.

You will go through a hands-on evaluation period:

• Review and diagnose editor performance scenarios
• Provide feedback on real edits
• Show how you would improve systems and team output

Only those who meet our bar step into full ownership.
