Video Editor

Full Time (remote)

Are you a creative person with a passion for crafting compelling stories through video? Do you thrive on variety and want more than just the typical button-pushing editing role? Want to work remotely as part of a team that truly values your expertise, gives you a platform to do impactful work, and compensates you fairly for it?

If you answered yes and feel an enthusiastic excitement building, you’ll fit right in here! We’re Hepburn Creative and we’re looking for an exceptional Video Editor like you – someone who embodies creativity, pays attention to the finest details, cares about people, and possesses a rich editing experience.

At Hepburn Creative we create engaging videos for businesses and nonprofits. From one day to the next, and often simultaneously, we work on a range of projects from product videos for Fortune 500 companies to stories of empowerment from East Africa. In all our work, we harness the power of a story-driven marketing framework to create videos people want to watch and respond to.

As an integral part of our creative team you will: 

  • Collaborate effectively with team members to fulfill editing needs.
  • Edit video footage and other creative assets into compelling, engaging, moving videos.
  • Review hours of raw footage, interviews, and transcripts to identify the best elements.
  • Deliver content by deadlines.
  • Innovate with fresh editing ideas, including the use of motion graphics, music, dynamic text placement, and editing techniques.
  • Maintain a consistent look and feel across the content we create.
  • Use intentionality to uphold dignity and empowerment of people through ethical storytelling.
  • Properly archive and store content.
  • Thrive and remain efficient in a fast-paced work environment.
  • Collaborate with team members to keep clear expectations.

That sounds like a lot (and it is), but you won’t be alone! We believe in the value of collaboration and will ensure that you feel equipped and supported throughout your journey with us.

The people who love this job and do well in this position:

Are experienced storytellers. Your superpower is finding the story amidst the noise. Whether you’re taking soundbites from interviews, choosing from a wide range of b-roll, or identifying the best of multiple takes, you are skilled at turning them all into a powerful video that compels the audience to take action.

Are technically-skilled editors. Whether it’s an interview-based story or action-packed motion graphics sizzle reel, you are familiar with a wide variety of industry tools and platforms and how they work together to create compelling narratives.

Pay attention to details. You have high standards for excellence. You’re the type of person who will tweak even just the tiniest thing because when you rewatch it for the 10th time in a row, you just can’t let it go. You know attention to detail is a strength and you wield it responsibly.

Are easy to work with. You are an excellent team player, with open communication and a readiness to give and accept creative feedback. You believe working as a team leads to success and open communication is key.

Are passionate. As one of the core members of our team guiding the direction of the stories we tell, you are passionate about creating content that inspires action and change.

Care about people. You care more about the client than just finishing their video. You make sure each person involved feels seen and you know how to make their input feel valued.
