Video Editor, Regulated Industry (Full-Time Contract, Remote)

Who we are

Pearmill is a performance marketing agency. We plan, produce, and run paid ads for brands across Meta, Google, TikTok, and other channels, and our creative team produces the video and static assets that run in those accounts.

We are a fully remote team across the US and Europe, and we use AI tools throughout our production work.

About the role

We are looking for a video editor to work as a full-time contractor with one client in a regulated industry, across their paid ads and organic social. Every asset for this client carries required disclosure copy that must match the approved version exactly.

Most of the work is precision work: cutting and versioning footage that already exists, and making sure everything that appears on screen is approved. We are looking for someone analytical who can QA their own work and build QA systems and templates that keep every version accurate at volume.

Primary responsibilities

• Produce multiple variations of each concept, where volume can be high.

• Resize every paid video into all required formats (currently five) and adjust framing for each one.

• Build organic social videos (Reels and video Stories) from approved templates.

• Add and update on-screen elements, including required disclosure copy, across every version.

• Work from briefs and plan priorities each week with the creative lead.

• Amend assets based on internal and client feedback until they are fully approved.

• Maintain a consistently high level of quality on every delivery.

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional video editing and motion experience, with a portfolio or reel.

• Expert in After Effects, comfortable in Premiere Pro, and able to use AI tools in your workflow.

• Exceptional attention to detail. You can visually QA every text element on screen, and this is the most important skill for this role.

• The ability to keep track of many near-identical versions, which often differ by only a few lines of text, without mixing them up.

• Clear, proactive communication with the team. There are many revision rounds, and raising questions or mistakes early is part of the job.

• Project files built to our team standards (clear folder structure, descriptive names for files, compositions and layers, live text layers, no unused footage or third-party plugins), so other editors can open them and pick up when needed.

• Fluent English, written and spoken, and comfortable on video calls.

• Based in Europe, Latin America, or Canada with working hours that overlap US East Coast business hours.
