Video Editor (Remote, Part-Time / Contract)

Client: Midwest-based Creative Agency (via Vicarious Talent)
Location: Remote
Employment Type: Contract / Part-Time

About the Role

Vicarious is seeking a skilled Video Editor to support one of our agency clients — a fast-moving, creatively driven team based in the Midwest. The ideal candidate is a nimble storyteller who knows how to cut, color, and craft edits that keep audiences engaged across social, digital, and brand channels.

This role is perfect for an editor who thrives in collaborative, agency environments — someone who can take direction, elevate ideas, and deliver polished work that feels fresh and intentional.

What You’ll Do

  • Edit short- and long-form videos for campaigns, social media, digital ads, and branded content

  • Build dynamic edits with strong pacing, rhythm, and storytelling clarity

  • Integrate motion graphics, titles, and sound design where appropriate

  • Color-correct, mix, and prepare final deliverables for multiple platforms and aspect ratios

  • Collaborate with creative directors, producers, and motion designers to bring ideas to life

  • Manage multiple edits at once, staying organized and communicative under fast-paced timelines

What You Bring

  • 3–5 years of professional video editing experience (agency, production company, or brand environment preferred)

  • Mastery of Adobe Premiere Pro; proficiency with After Effects, Audition, and DaVinci Resolve is a plus

  • Strong eye for visual rhythm, music sync, and emotional storytelling

  • Experience editing for social-first formats (Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts)

  • Familiarity with modern codecs, export formats, and cloud-based review tools (Frame.io, Wipster, etc.)

  • Ability to work autonomously and meet deadlines in a remote environment

Nice to Have

  • Motion design or animation skills

  • Experience with short-form social content and UGC-style edits

  • Comfort working with creative briefs, brand guidelines, and campaign timelines

You Are

  • Fast, flexible, and creative under pressure

  • A collaborator who communicates clearly and professionally

  • A problem solver who can elevate footage through smart editing and strong storytelling

  • Someone who takes pride in polish, pacing, and narrative energy

Compensation

  • Rate: $45–$65/hour depending on experience and scope

  • Commitment: ~10–20 hours per week, with potential for ongoing or expanded collaboration
