Content Editor
Remote, Worldwide
Turn footage from our on-site creators and clients into polished, on-brand video for a portfolio of client accounts: ad cuts, reels, testimonials, and long-form. Sharp pacing, clean sound, fast turnarounds.
AB Marketing Group is a 9-year marketing agency serving local and regional businesses across the US. Our in-person content creators shoot at client businesses every week, and what they capture becomes the ads, reels, and brand videos our clients run their real budgets on. The editing seat is where that footage becomes results. We're hiring a Content Editor to own post-production for a portfolio of client accounts: short-form that stops the scroll, ad cuts built to convert, and long-form that holds attention.
Why This Role Matters
Editing here is not assembling clips to a template. Every project starts as raw footage from a working business, a roofing crew, a restaurant kitchen, a medical practice, and your cut is what decides whether it performs. You'll work at the craft level: story structure, pacing, hooks, captions, sound design, and color, with the judgment to know what a paid ad needs versus what an organic reel needs. Our clients pay premium rates, and their content should look like it.
What You'll Do
- ✓
Edit short-form and long-form video for a portfolio of client accounts: reels and shorts, paid ad cuts, testimonials, promos, and website video.
- ✓
Cut for retention and conversion: a hook in the first two seconds, pacing that holds attention, captions, sound design, and clean color.
- ✓
Turn one shoot day into a content package: multiple deliverables at multiple aspect ratios from a single batch of raw footage.
- ✓
Work from creative briefs set by our project management, and flag coverage gaps back to the shooters so the next shoot fills them.
- ✓
Keep every cut on-brand per client: fonts, colors, caption styles, and tone stay consistent account to account.
- ✓
Deliver on schedule, every time. Client posting calendars and ad launches depend on your timeline.
- ✓
Work async with our US-based team and in-person creators: organized project files, clear handoffs, proactive communication.
- ✓
Revise quickly and without ego when a strategist or client asks for changes.
What You'll Bring
Must-Haves
- ✓
3+ years of professional video editing with client work you can show. A portfolio or reel is required, and we watch everything you send.

Proven short-form ability: reels, shorts, and TikTok-native cuts that hold attention, plus the range to cut long-form when a project calls for it.
- ✓
Fluency in a professional NLE (Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut), plus captioning and basic motion graphics.
- ✓
Sound judgment: music selection, mixing, and cleanup that make field and phone audio usable.
- ✓
Experience editing for marketing outcomes: ads, promos, or social growth, not only films and personal projects.
- ✓
Fast, reliable turnarounds: you can hold a queue of projects across multiple clients without dropping one.
- ✓
Clear written English and responsive async communication with a US Eastern (New York) based team.
- ✓
Self-directed work style: you don't need to be managed, reminded, or chased.

You treat deadlines as commitments, not targets.

Team Structure
You're part of our remote editing team as an independent contractor, working async with our in-person content creators (they shoot, you cut) and our project management (they brief, you deliver). No middle management: your work goes to team leads and straight onto client accounts. Volume grows with the client roster, and the editors who deliver reliably get first call on new accounts. If your reel is mostly phone-shot social content rather than camera work, look at our UGC Content Editor role instead.
