Exchange Life · Video Editing Team · Fully Remote
About the Role
At Exchange Life we sell collectible country flag charms, keychains, and bracelets for travelers. We're one of the fastest-growing DTC travel jewelry brands in the US, and we run a fully remote content team of editors, filmmakers, and creators across the world.
We're scaling our ad creative operation and need editors who can own their output and drive results, not just execute tasks. You'll work directly within our content team and the marketing team. This is not a gig, but a long-term partnership we want to build with you, just like we did with most of our editors who have been with us for over a year and a half.
What Success Looks Like
At Exchange Life, success is achieved when you're consistently making short-form videos with 50%+ hook rates and edits that keep people engaged. You understand what's working for the brand, and can own and iterate on winning formats without needing direction from the marketing team.
Core Responsibilities
- Edit TikTok and Reels content optimized for hook rate, retention, and watch time, not just aesthetics
- Watch back your past edits and apply learnings to the new ones, constantly improving on them.
- Collaborate with the marketing team to test new creative angles and iterate on what's working
- Turn around content quickly and communicate clearly on timelines, no constant check-ins required
- Be constantly aware of new TikTok and Instagram trends and apply them to your Exchange Life's videos where relevant.
Must-Haves
- At least one TikTok or Reel that crossed 500K views in the last 2 months, and you can explain what made it work
- Portfolio of 10+ short-form edits (TikTok or Reels only) from the last 30 days
- Owns their output, takes feedback and internalizes it, and doesn't repeat the same mistakes
- Able to look at metrics like hook rate, retention, watch time, and understand what you can improve on to make the video better
- Proficient in CapCut Pro or a comparable editing tool
- Clear written and spoken English communication and ability to work independently
Nice-to-Haves
- Experience editing content for e-commerce brands
- Familiarity with adapting to different editing formats (text-on-screen, talking head, voiceover, etc...)
Not a Fit If
- Your portfolio is mostly long-form, YouTube, or event/wedding content
- You can't point to a recent viral video and explain why it did well
- You need a fixed schedule or close supervision to stay productive
- You're looking for a short-term project
Compensation & Working Style
- Hours: ~35-40 hrs / week
- Schedule: Fully flexible, work whenever you want, as long as you meet deadlines
- Bonuses: Uncapped, performance-based, paid for views and ad spend
- Working style: no micromanagement
This is a long-term role. We invest in people who are committed, that includes access to courses, hardware, software, and 1-on-1 mentorship every day.
