Video Editor (Premiere Pro + AI Video Tools) Full-Time, Long-Term

We're a US-based creative studio producing product photography and video content for beauty, supplement, and food & beverage brands. We're looking for a skilled video editor to join us full-time and long-term, and take editing off our plate so we can focus on strategy and production.

This is not a one-off gig. We want someone reliable, communicative, and genuinely good who can grow into a lasting role with us. The rate depends on experience with our stronger candidates land at the top of the range, and there's room to grow from there.

What you'll be doing:
•Editing short-form and long-form video for social (Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube), ads, and brand content
•Working in Adobe Premiere Pro (required), cuts, pacing, captions, sound, color, motion
•Using AI video tools as part of the workflow (generative video, upscaling, AI b-roll, voice/audio tools, etc.) — this is a real part of the job, not a bonus
•Turning raw product footage and photography into polished, on-brand deliverables
•Following brand guidelines and hitting deadlines consistently

You must have:
•At least 2 years of professional video editing experience
•Strong, demonstrable Premiere Pro skills (portfolio required)
•Hands-on experience with AI video/content tools and a genuine curiosity about them
•Excellent written English and responsiveness
•Reliable internet and the ability to handle large video files

Bonus (not required, but a big plus):
Beyond editing, we'd love to eventually hand off more of our social media back end to the right person. If you also have experience with social media strategy, scheduling and posting, or community management (replying to comments and DMs), tell us because it could expand this role and your pay over time. This is a bonus, not a requirement; a phenomenal editor with no interest in social is still exactly who we're looking for.

Schedule:
Full-time, roughly 8 hours/day, 5 days/week.
Some flexibility on exact hours, but we need consistent availability and overlap for communication.

To apply:
Start your application with the word "ZEST" so I know you read this carefully.

Then include:
•A link to your portfolio or 2–3 sample edits short-form, 1-2 sample edits long-form
•One sentence on which AI video tools you've actually used and for what
•Your years of Premiere Pro experience
•Optional: if you have social media management experience, one sentence on what you've done and for which platforms

•••••Applications that don't start with "ZEST" or don't include a portfolio will not be reviewed. •••••

We're looking forward to seeing your work.
