Video Editor for a DTC Toys & Games Brand

About us

Paired is a global staffing and recruiting agency that specializes in pairing remote work with top-tier talent!

We are dedicated to connecting talented individuals with remarkable companies in need of their skills. Our goal is to create fulfilling job opportunities for professionals around the world.

About the Company

Our client is an established toys and games brand coming off one of the most successful sport-related backyard game products in its category, and they're just getting started. They're now becoming a full sports, toys and games company, aiming to grow from zero to one million customers over the next three years.

Their products are loud, physical, competitive and made to be filmed.

About the Role

We're hiring a Video Editor who makes footage hit to work remotely with their team. This isn't about trimming dead air, adding captions and calling it done. You'll take a raw clip of a ball smashing into a target and turn it into something people watch four times before they scroll.

That means effects, motion graphics and transitions that actually land, sound design on every hit, whoosh and impact, and pacing so tight there's never a reason to look away.

You'll edit in two styles: high-end cinematic edits for brand and hero content, and fast, punchy direct response edits built to sell in ads. If you can do both, we want to talk. If you're elite at one, we still want to talk.

Job Responsibilities

Day to Day

Paid ads: Turn creator footage and product clips into scroll-stopping ads for Meta and Instagram, built around strong hooks and clear selling points.

Organic social

Create Reels, TikToks and Shorts with energy that matches the products.

Effects and motion

Add on-screen text, tracking, speed ramps, impact frames, shakes, graphics and anything else that makes a moment pop.

Sound design

Put SFX on every action, sync cuts to the beat, and choose music that drives the edit instead of just sitting under it.

Hero and launch content

Produce high-end edits for new product drops and seasonal campaigns.

Variations

Cut multiple hooks and versions of winning edits so the team can test fast.

Requirements

A portfolio that makes us stop. Nothing else matters as much as this.

Proven experience editing ads for real DTC physical product brands. We want to see work that actually ran and sold something.

Mastery of effects, transitions and sound design, not just cutting and captions.

Range across cinematic and direct response styles, or world class in one of them.

Fast turnaround without dropping the standard.

Organized and reliable

you label and store files properly, hit deadlines and give updates without being chased.

Bonus

Experience editing for sports, gaming or toy brands.

Benefits

Competitive pay of up to $50 USD per hour. Where you land depends on your experience and portfolio.

Part-time role with flexible hours.

Ongoing work with real room to grow. For the right editor, there's a constant flow of work as the brand launches new products.

Creative ownership over how the brand's products look and sound on screen, as part of a company in a high-growth phase.

100% remote work flexibility from anywhere.

Collaborate with creators and an ambitious e-commerce team.
