This opportunity is available to professionals based in Latin America, Africa, and Eastern Europe.

Since the position supports clients located in the United States, applicants must be able to work during U.S. business hours according to the client’s time zone.

The client is a rapidly growing digital education company that develops live and on-demand learning content.

As its library of evergreen educational resources continues to expand and preparations begin for international content localization, the company is looking for an experienced Video Editor to help manage increasing production demands.

The position combines traditional video editing with emerging AI-powered technologies, making it suitable for an editor who is comfortable working with established editing software while learning new AI-assisted production workflows.

About the Role

As an Educational Video Editor, you will turn live educational recordings into professional, engaging on-demand content.

You will also contribute to an upcoming international localization initiative designed to make educational materials accessible to audiences in different markets.

Working alongside an established editing team, you’ll refine long-form recordings, remove unnecessary live-event elements, produce short-form content, organize media assets, and prepare videos for distribution across various platforms.

The ideal candidate has excellent editorial instincts, strong technical editing abilities, and the confidence to make independent editing decisions while maintaining the meaning and educational flow of the original content.

Complete assigned evergreen video projects within the required 24-hour turnaround period following live sessions.

Editing & Content Review

Make appropriate editorial cuts without affecting important educational information or context.
Follow established brand and editorial guidelines across all video content.

Prepare and edit video footage for international localization projects.
Learn and work with AI-powered dubbing and lip-sync technologies such as HeyGen.
Combine translated audio with existing video footage to create natural-looking localized content.
Help develop efficient workflows that allow educational content to be adapted for audiences in multiple countries and languages.

Short-Form & AI-Assisted Content

Use tools such as Opus to transform long-form recordings into short videos suitable for social media.
Identify valuable moments within longer educational videos that can work effectively as standalone clips.
Use Rev.com or similar services for transcription, subtitles, and captioning.
Incorporate AI-assisted tools into the editing process to improve production speed and output.

Video & File Management

Organize large quantities of raw footage and completed videos securely through Google Drive.
Maintain clear and consistent folder structures so other members of the editing team can easily locate assets.
Upload and manage completed evergreen videos through Vimeo.
Maintain accurate versions of videos and related production files throughout the editing and approval process.

Collaboration & Production Management

Work closely with other video editors to coordinate assets and improve production workflows.
Take ownership of assigned projects while staying aligned with broader production priorities.
Clearly communicate progress, deadlines, technical challenges, and potential delays.
Contribute to processes that allow the company to increase video output without compromising quality.
