Full-Time Video Editor + Static Ad Designer for U.S. Coaching/Consulting Business

About Us
We're a U.S.-based business coaching/consulting company serving contractors and construction business owners.

We run an active content engine — paid Facebook ads, YouTube long-form videos, YouTube Shorts, Reels, and static ad creatives — and we need a sharp editor/designer who can own the production side so the founder can focus on strategy and content.

This is a long-term, full-time role. We're not looking for a freelancer juggling 5 clients. We want someone who wants to grow with one company.

What You'll Be Doing
• Editing Facebook/Meta video ads (short-form, hook-driven, direct-response style)
• Designing static Facebook ad creatives (punchy, minimal copy on image, strong visual hierarchy)
• Editing long-form YouTube videos (talking head + b-roll + graphics + captions)
• Editing YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels from long-form footage
• Adding captions, lower thirds, motion graphics, and on-screen text
• Maintaining brand consistency
• Organizing raw footage and project files

Must-Have Skills
• Strong portfolio of Facebook/Meta video ads you've actually edited
• Strong portfolio of static social ad designs
• Highly proficient in professional video editing software — Adobe Premiere Pro preferred, or equivalent professional tools you do your best work in (DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, CapCut Pro, etc.)
• Highly proficient in design software for static ads — Canva (Pro level) preferred, or equivalent (Photoshop, Figma, Affinity, etc.)
• Working knowledge of (or willingness to learn) Google Flow for AI-generated video assets
• Excellent understanding of pacing, hooks, retention, and what makes an ad stop the scroll
• Native or near-native English comprehension
• Reliable internet and a computer that can handle 4K editing
• Available to work full U.S. Eastern Time business hours: 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM EST, Monday–Friday

Nice to Have
• Experience in the construction industry (any role — contractor, trades, construction office, construction marketing). This is a BIG plus. Our content is 100% focused on contractors and construction business owners, so if you already understand the world of estimating, job costing, change orders, and running a trades business, you'll ramp up much faster and produce better creative from day one.
• Experience editing for the coaching, consulting, or B2B service industries
• Motion graphics / After Effects skills
• Understanding of direct-response copy and how visuals support a written hook
• Experience with YouTube SEO basics (thumbnails, end screens)
• Experience with AI video tools (Google Flow, Runway, Sora, Kling, etc.)

Who You Are
• You take pride in your work
• You're fast, but not sloppy
• You communicate clearly and proactively — you flag issues before they become problems
• You hit deadlines without being chased
• You're looking for a long-term home, not a side gig
