This is not an editor role.
This is a leader of editors role.
You will own the performance, engagement, and output quality of our 40+ global video editors.
You are responsible for building a high-performance editing organization: where output is fast, quality is consistent, and underperformance is handled quickly.
Think of this role as a Head Coach of a Global Editing Team, not a player.
What You’ll Do:
Own Editor Performance
Set and enforce clear output and quality standards
Track editor-level KPIs (speed, revisions, retention performance of content)
Identify underperformance early and act fast
Lead and Manage a Global Team
Directly manage 40+ overseas editors
Maintain engagement, morale, and accountability across time zones
Create a culture of high standards and ownership
Train and Develop Editors
Own onboarding and ramp for all new editors
Build training systems, SOPs, and editing playbooks
Continuously upskill the team based on what’s working in content
Enforce a High-Performance Bar
Coach up or transition out underperformers quickly (~2-3 weeks)
Maintain a team of A-players only
Eliminate bottlenecks and excuses
Improve Systems & Scale
Standardize editing frameworks across clients and niches
Identify inefficiencies in workflows and fix them
Partner with leadership to scale output without sacrificing quality
Operate as an Owner
Treat the editing team as a performance engine
Balance speed, quality, and cost efficiency
Make decisions based on data, not emotion
What We’re Looking For:
You are:
A Proven People Leader
You’ve managed large teams (ideally remote or overseas)
You know how to drive performance—not just maintain relationships
Operationally Strong
You think in KPIs, scorecards, and systems
You’ve built or improved workflows at scale
High Standards, Low Tolerance for Mediocrity
You are comfortable making fast personnel decisions
You don’t carry underperformers
Deeply Familiar with Short-Form Content
You understand what makes content perform on TikTok, Reels, Shorts
You can translate performance into editing direction
Structured and Systems-Driven
You build repeatable processes, not chaos
You document and standardize what works
Calm, Direct, and Decisive
You can manage a high-volume team without getting reactive
You give clear, direct feedback
Minimum Requirements:
3-5+ years managing editors or creative teams
Experience managing remote or international teams
Strong understanding of short-form content performance
Proven track record improving team output and efficiency
Excellent communication and leadership skills
How We Pay:
Base: $50k/annually
How We Train & Filter:
We do not hand this role out lightly.
You will go through a hands-on evaluation period:
Review and diagnose editor performance scenarios
Provide feedback on real edits
Show how you would improve systems and team output
Only those who meet our bar step into full ownership.
Who This Is NOT For:
Someone who wants to edit instead of lead
Someone who avoids hard conversations
Someone who tolerates inconsistency or excuses
Someone who needs structure instead of building it
Who This IS For:
Someone who wants to run a high-performance creative operation
Someone who takes pride in building elite teams
Someone who moves fast, makes decisions, and owns outcomes
