Video Editor

Job Description

WorkinVirtual Private Limited is hiring a Video Editor for a full-time, 100% remote position open to qualified candidates worldwide.

The Video Editor will transform raw footage, audio, graphics, and other creative assets into polished video content for digital platforms.

You will work on content that may include social media videos, short-form content, longer-form videos, platform and product content, educational material, promotional videos, interviews, and other digital media.

Candidates should have 2–4 years of relevant professional video-editing or post-production experience and must provide a portfolio or showreel demonstrating their work.

Compensation is $20–$25 USD per hour.

This is a 100% remote worldwide opportunity requiring at least 4 hours of working-day overlap with New York / US Eastern Time (ET).
