Flex is looking for a talented Freelance Video Editor specializing in paid social and short-form content to support its creative marketing efforts.

This remote opportunity is ideal for a video editor who understands how to turn raw footage and creative concepts into engaging, performance-driven videos designed for today’s social-media platforms.

The successful candidate will work on short-form video content and paid-social advertisements, combining strong editing skills with an understanding of what captures attention, maintains viewer interest and drives results.

Key Responsibilities

  • Edit engaging short-form videos for social-media and paid advertising campaigns.
  • Transform raw footage and creative assets into polished, platform-ready videos.
  • Create strong hooks designed to capture viewers’ attention within the opening seconds.
  • Optimize video pacing, transitions and storytelling to improve audience retention.
  • Add captions, text overlays, graphics, music and other creative elements where appropriate.
  • Produce multiple variations of creative concepts for testing and advertising campaigns.
  • Adapt video content for different social-media formats and placements.
  • Collaborate with creative and marketing teams to turn campaign concepts into finished videos.
  • Incorporate feedback and make revisions efficiently.
  • Keep up with emerging social-media, advertising and short-form video trends.

Ideal Candidate

This position is particularly suitable for editors who understand platforms such as TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and Meta advertising.

Experience creating direct-response or performance-marketing video content is particularly valuable because the role focuses on videos designed not only to look professional but also to generate measurable marketing results.

Requirements

Applicants should have previous experience editing short-form social-media content or paid-social advertisements.

Strong proficiency with modern video-editing tools is required, with CapCut being particularly relevant to the role.

Candidates should understand social-first editing techniques, including attention-grabbing hooks, fast pacing, captions, transitions and visual storytelling.

A strong portfolio demonstrating previous video-editing work is important.

The ideal candidate should also be comfortable working independently, managing deadlines and collaborating with a remote creative team.
