Video Editor

About Meraki-IT

Meraki-IT is a fast-growing software solutions and products company helping businesses digitize their operations and unlock new levels of efficiency. From web and mobile applications to AI products, SaaS, and DevOps — we build technology that makes a real difference. Founded in 2020, we're now going all-in on content to grow our brand and generate leads — and we need an exceptional editor to bring that content to life.

The Role

We're looking for a highly skilled and versatile Video Editor to join our in-house marketing team. You'll be the primary editor behind everything we put out — from punchy Instagram Reels and LinkedIn content to in-depth educational videos, project breakdowns, and high-converting Video Sales Letters (VSLs). This isn't a role for someone who edits one type of content well. We need someone who can replicate and execute viral styles at a high level, storyboard their own creative ideas from a script, produce custom AI-generated assets, and deliver polished output consistently — across every format we throw at them.

Reference Styles

To give you a clear picture of the visual standard and editing styles we work in, we've put together a reference document covering the key styles this role will be expected to execute. Please review this before applying.

What You'll Do

Edit and produce a wide range of video content including talking head videos, short-form reels, educational content, project breakdowns, YouTube videos, and video proposals for clients

Replicate and execute viral motion graphic styles — specifically styles seen in creators like Iman Gadzhi and Alex Hormozi — with a high degree of accuracy and polish. This is a core, non-negotiable part of the role

Storyboard smart, creative edit ideas independently based on a provided script and raw footage — you should be able to take a brief and a pile of clips and map out a compelling visual execution before touching the timeline

Create and integrate custom AI-generated assets using AI tools and generation platforms — you're expected to know these tools and use them to elevate production quality without always relying on stock

Maintain a minimum output of 1 minute of fully polished, high-quality edited footage per working day — the bar here is publication-ready, not rough cut

Adapt your editing style to match the platform and objective — a fast-paced viral reel, a clean LinkedIn talking head, and a long-form VSL are three completely different things and you should be fluent in all of them

Work with a variety of source material — raw footage from our videographer, screen recordings, stock footage, motion graphics, and AI-generated visuals

Collaborate with the Brand Manager and Growth Manager to align edits with the overall content strategy and brand identity

Stay current with what's actually going viral — study trends on Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn and bring those references proactively into your work

What We're Looking For

3+ years of professional video editing experience with a strong, diverse portfolio

Proven ability to replicate viral motion graphic and reel styles — your portfolio must demonstrate this, not just describe it. We will be looking for specific style references

Strong storyboarding ability — you can take a script and raw footage and independently map out a smart edit structure before starting production

Proficiency with AI tools and AI generation platforms for creating custom visual assets (motion elements, backgrounds, graphics, etc.)

Ability to consistently deliver at least 1 minute of fully polished edited footage per day

Deep understanding of pacing, visual storytelling, color grading, sound design, and typography across different content styles

Comfortable handling all source material types — filmed footage, screen recordings, stock, motion graphics, and AI-generated assets

Proficient in industry-standard editing software (we don't mandate a specific tool — use what gets the best results)

Self-directed and able to manage a varied, fast-moving content pipeline without hand-holding

Bonus Points

Experience creating content specifically for B2B brands or software/tech companies

Motion graphics or After Effects skills beyond basic use

Demonstrable experience producing VSLs with modern motion graphic treatments

Understanding of what makes content perform on LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube algorithmically — not just aesthetically

Experience editing video proposals or client-facing sales content

Why Meraki-IT?

We're building our content engine from scratch, which means your work will be front and center from day one. You'll have creative input, variety across every format, and the rare opportunity to help define the visual language of a growing software brand. If you're an editor who's tired of repetitive briefs and wants to actually flex your creative range — this is the role for you.
