About the Role

Sun Coast Sciences is a skincare direct-to-consumer (DTC) company dedicated to developing science-backed skincare products that help people look and feel their best. We're growing fast and investing heavily in video content to connect with our audience.

We're looking for a skilled, reliable Video Editor to join our marketing team on a full-time contractor basis. You'll work closely with our Marketing Operations team to produce high-quality short-form and long-form video content that drives engagement, retention, and conversions across YouTube, Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. You'll be the go-to editor supporting multiple campaigns and content streams.

What You'll Do

• Edit short-form video content (Reels, TikTok, Shorts) optimized for engagement and retention

• Edit long-form YouTube videos including talking head, tutorial, and documentary-style content

• Add captions, motion graphics, transitions, sound design, and color grading as needed

• Work from creative briefs and raw footage provided by the team; in some cases, develop creative briefs yourself

• Collaborate with the marketing team during US business hours (EST–PST, your choice)

• Manage multiple projects simultaneously with fast turnaround times

• Incorporate feedback quickly and iterate on edits based on performance data

What We're Looking For

• IMPORTANT: Good communication skills in English — you'll be collaborating with a US-based team daily.

  • Most applicants get rejected because of this - we don't expect you to sound native, but you should be able to fluidly express your thoughts speaking.

• 2+ years of professional video editing experience, ideally for brands, agencies, or content creators

• Proficiency in professional video editing software (e.g., Adobe Premiere Pro, CapCut, or similar)

• Strong portfolio of short-form social media content — we want to see Reels, TikTok, and Shorts you've edited that drove real engagement

• Solid understanding of pacing, hooks, retention and conversion strategies for social-first video content

• Reliable internet and a capable editing workstation. We'll ask about your specs during the process (CPU, RAM, GPU, storage, monitors)

• Self-motivated and organized — this is a remote role, so time management matters

Bonus Points

• Experience with AI video generation tools (SORA 2, Kling, Runway, and similar)

• Graphic design skills (thumbnails, lower thirds, social assets)

• Podcast editing experience

We keep things straightforward:

• 1. Apply — Submit your application with your portfolio and a brief intro

• 2. Portfolio Review — We'll review your work for alignment with our content style

We move fast and respect your time. Most candidates hear back within a few days of each stage.
