Video Editor

About The Plugs IO 

The Plugs IO is a premium operations and growth agency. We build the systems, processes, automations, content pipelines, and brand infrastructure, that help mission-driven founders, coaches, nonprofits, and real estate professionals scale with clarity and precision. 

We're not a clip-cutting shop. We're operators, strategists, and creatives who believe video should stop the scroll, communicate value, and move audiences to act. Clients come to us when surface-level content stops working and real production quality is required. 

Our Values — M.C.B.E.E.S. 

Maintain Humility  ·  Commit to Completion  ·  Be Innovative  ·  Evolve & Adapt  ·  Elevate Others  ·  Serve with Excellence 

Role Overview 

We're hiring a Video Editor to produce all video assets across client campaigns, social platforms, and internal initiatives. This is an execution role inside our Creative Pod, fast-moving, brief-driven, and held to a high bar. 

You'll receive task assignments through Microsoft Planner via the Pod VA, work from clear creative briefs and scripts, and be expected to deliver polished, on-brand video that is client-ready before it enters the QA Chain. 

Pod Structure 

The Creative Pod consists of the Pod VA, Graphic Designer, Video Editor, and Copywriter. The Pod VA coordinates task flow, tracks deadlines, and routes all assets through the QA Chain. The Lead Video Editor seat is currently vacant, the Pod VA manages task assignment in the interim. 

Primary Responsibilities 

Video Production & Editing

• Edit raw footage into short-form content (Reels, TikToks, YouTube Shorts) and long-form video (YouTube, podcasts, webinars, and brand campaigns) 

• Implement captions, transitions, sound design, B-roll, and text overlays with a clean, branded, professional finish 

• Perform color correction, audio balancing, pacing adjustments, and frame-level quality refinement 

• Interpret project briefs accurately, understanding the message, CTA, and audience intent behind every video, not just the technical spec 

• Suggest edit structure, B-roll choices, or sequencing improvements that strengthen the core message when appropriate 

Platform & Format Execution 

• Produce content correctly formatted for each platform, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, with accurate specs, aspect ratios, and resolution 

• Support content repurposing: cutting long-form into short clips, podcast highlights, talking-head snippets, and quote cards 

• Apply platform-aware pacing, hook structuring, and retention strategies, not one-size-fits-all editing 

Campaign & Sprint Support 

• Support launches, campaigns, and sprint cycles with on-time, cohesive video deliverables 

• Collaborate with the Copywriter on script alignment and messaging clarity 

• Collaborate with the Graphic Designer on visual continuity, thumbnail consistency, and branded overlays 

• Work with the Pod VA on task sequencing, file routing, and revision coordination 

File & Asset Management 

• Maintain organized project files, exports, and raw footage using The Plugs IO naming conventions 

• Prepare and export final files to platform specs, correct codec, resolution, and format 

• Save all deliverables to the correct SharePoint folder as directed by the Pod VA 

• Retain clean, organized project files for future revision or repurposing 

Quality Assurance & Standards 

• Self-QA before every submission: complete the QA Chain Record, verifying alignment with the project brief, brand standards, file naming, and folder placement before marking work ready for review 

• Catch pacing issues, audio drops, caption errors, and brand inconsistencies before they reach the reviewer 

• Deliver assets that meet internal "No CEO Touch" quality standards, work should be client-ready on submission 

• Incorporate feedback quickly and without defensiveness; never repeat the same error twice 

Collaboration & Communication 

• Receive all task assignments and feedback through Microsoft Planner and Teams 

• Communicate proactively about timelines, blockers, or brief clarifications, do not go silent on the team 

• Coordinate with the Pod VA for all revision routing, deadline tracking, and file handoffs 

• Escalate priority conflicts or resource gaps to the Pod VA for PM-level resolution 

AI Usage & Standards

AI tools are permitted and encouraged to support transcription, captioning, rough cut acceleration, and ideation. They are not a replacement for editorial judgment, storytelling instinct, or brand execution. 

• Apply human creativity, brand context, and platform strategy to all AI-assisted work 

• Refine, elevate, and customize AI-assisted outputs to meet brand and quality standards 

• Never submit AI-generated or auto-edited video as a final deliverable without full human review and elevation 

The Standard 

AI is a tool here, not a crutch. Pacing, clarity, and conversion always come first. 

Must Haves 

• 2+ years of video editing experience (agency, brand, or high-volume freelance accepted) 

• Strong portfolio demonstrating both short-form and long-form content 

• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro; After Effects a significant plus 

• Fluency in pacing, storytelling, on-screen text hierarchy, and visual retention strategies 

• Solid understanding of platform specs and content repurposing (Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube) 

• Strong attention to detail, you catch issues before they ship 

• Clear, professional communication, written and verbal 

• Ability to operate in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment without sacrificing quality 

Nice to Haves 

• Experience with motion graphics, animation, or After Effects compositing

• Ability to cut podcast clips or talking-head interviews for social repurposing

• Familiarity with high-converting commercial or VSL-style editing 

• Understanding of marketing funnels, CTAs, and brand strategy at a working level 

• Experience inside sprint-based or agency environments 

What This Role Is Not 

Clarity on Scope 

This is not a videography role, we work with existing footage. Not a motion design lead or creative director seat. Not a "just add captions" position.  This is a professional execution role inside a structured Creative Pod with real accountability, real deadlines, and a high bar for quality. You will be expected to work from briefs, hit timelines, QA your own work, and operate with ownership from day one.
