> Paired · India (Remote) · Part-time · Posted 2026-10-14

**Salary:** USD 24,000–30,000

**Workplace:** remote

## Description

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 Role**

### What you'll do

**Short-form editing (TikTok, Reels, Shorts, Facebook)**

-   Edit a high volume of vertical short-form videos (roughly 30–90 seconds) built to stop the scroll in the first 1–3 seconds.
-   Cut for each platform's native style: pacing, captions, safe zones, aspect ratios, trending audio and formats.
-   Turn raw footage, founder content, creator clips and transformation shoots into multiple hook and format variations per concept.
-   Repurpose long-form episodes into clips, carousels-to-video and cutdowns without losing the story.

**Long-form editing (YouTube and Facebook)**

-   Edit 8–30+ minute YouTube videos with strong story structure, retention-driven pacing, B-roll, music and sound design.
-   Build intros, chapter breaks, lower thirds and end screens that keep viewers watching.
-   Collaborate on thumbnails and titles with an eye on click-through and retention.

**Motion graphics and AI generation**

-   Create motion graphics, animated text, transitions and branded templates in After Effects.
-   Stay current on new AI video tools and pitch ways to use them to ship faster or try new formats.

**Workflow and ownership**

-   Own projects from brief to delivery: organize footage, edit, self-QA, export platform-ready files and hand off on time.
-   Maintain and improve our editing systems: project templates, file naming, folder structures, presets, LUTs, caption styles and export settings.
-   Track work in our project management tool (ClickUp), updating status as each piece moves through the pipeline.
-   Turn around revisions quickly and fold feedback into future edits without being told twice.

How we work

-   Fully remote, async-first. Briefs, footage and feedback live in shared drives, Frame.io and ClickUp, so work keeps moving across time zones.
-   Daily overlap. A short daily check-in during your overlap window with Pacific Time, plus written updates on what shipped and what's blocked.
-   Turnaround expectations. Short-form edits typically delivered within 24 hours of brief; revisions within one business day; long-form on an agreed schedule.
-   Volume. Expect a steady weekly output across short- and long-form. \[15–25 short-form + 1–2 long-form per week.\]

## Requirements

What you bring

### Must-haves

-   3+ years of professional video editing, with a portfolio showing both short-form and long-form work.
-   Advanced proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects..
-   Hands-on experience generating video with Higgsfield AI, with examples of AI-generated or AI-assisted footage used in finished edits.
-   Proven experience editing for Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and a clear understanding of how each platform's content differs.
-   A fast, repeatable workflow: you can show how you organize projects, use templates and presets, and ship multiple finished pieces per day.
-   Strong instinct for hooks, pacing, story and sound; you know why one edit holds attention and another doesn't.
-   Clear written English for async communication, briefs and feedback.
-   Reliable high-speed internet, a capable editing machine and your own Adobe Creative Cloud license.
-   At least 4 hours of daily overlap with Pacific Time (PT) for check-ins and fast revisions.

### Nice-to-haves

-   Experience with other AI tools (Runway, Kling, Veo, ElevenLabs, CapCut AI features, Topaz).
-   Experience with brand, DTC, beauty, wellness or transformation/before-and-after content.
-   Thumbnail design skills for YouTube.
-   Familiarity with DaVinci Resolve for color grading.
-   Comfort reading organic analytics (retention curves, watch time, saves, shares) and editing toward them.
-   Experience with Frame.io and ClickUp or similar review and project tools.
-   Use Higgsfield AI to generate and extend shots, B-roll, product visuals, scene transitions and stylized effects that would be slow or costly to film.
-   Blend AI-generated assets seamlessly with live footage so the final piece feels on-brand, not obviously synthetic.
