Job Title: Video Editor
Location: Remote
Contract Type: Contractor
Day Rate (contractor): $1400/month and $150 performance-based bonus.
This role is all about turning raw footage into high-performing, polished, scroll-stopping content that makes learning genuinely exciting. With our audience growing fast, we’re looking for an editor who can take ownership of edits end-to-end — producing binge-worthy videos with speed, taste, and precision, while keeping everything sharp, modern, and unmistakably MyEdSpace.
A key part of this role will also be editing high-performing ad creatives: conversion-focused videos built to stop the scroll, drive sales, and perform across platforms.
You’ll play a major part in shaping the content output of our influencer teachers and performance marketing — combining strong editorial judgement with high-level motion design to create content that stands out everywhere we post.
Edit High-Impact Video Content: Own the editing process across educational, marketing, and short-form + long-form content — typically 100-140 videos per month, delivering consistently strong output with minimal oversight.
Motion Graphics & Visual Storytelling: Create and enhance edits using high-quality motion graphics, kinetic typography, animated assets, and polished transitions that elevate retention and brand feel.
Maintain Brand & Quality Standards: Follow templates, guidelines, and systems - while also improving them where needed to keep output clean, consistent, and premium.
Deliver With Minimal Iterations: Produce work that’s nearly final on first delivery, showing strong judgement in pacing, structure, sound design, and creative choices.
Strong Editing Experience: 2–5+ years of video editing experience (freelance, agency, in-house, or content creator world) with a portfolio that proves quality and speed.
High Motion Graphics Ability: Confident creating advanced motion graphics (not just basic captions) — including typography animation, transitions, on-screen visual structure, and clean design execution.
Language Skills: Minimum B2 (Upper Intermediate) English proficiency.
Technical Skills: Strong proficiency in professional editing tools (e.g., Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro). Bonus if experienced with After Effects and editing automation workflows.
Low-Iteration Mindset: You’re detail-driven and can deliver edits that require minimal back-and-forth — you spot issues before they’re flagged and fix them proactively.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience in EdTech / educational content
Familiarity with content styles for the US
Strong creative instincts: pacing, storytelling, hooks, and retention-driven structure
Confidence working with influencer-led content and fast turnaround timelines
