About Darkroom

We're building the future of advertising and are looking for the minds to help us do it.

Darkroom is a progressive omnichannel growth marketing agency focused on retail, e-commerce, and consumer businesses. We have been recognized as one of the fastest growing private companies in America by Inc. 5000 (2023), a top 1% digital advertiser by Varos (2023), and our founders were named Forbes 30 Under 30 recipients for Marketing and Advertising North America (2024).

As a Video Editor on Darkroom’s internal Marketing Team, you’ll play a critical role in shaping the visual storytelling behind our brand. You'll work closely with our Video Lead, Design Lead, and Director to transform raw content into engaging, high-impact videos for platforms like Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and LinkedIn. This is a fast-moving, creative, and collaborative role for someone with sharp instincts, strong technical skills, and a passion for crafting content that connects with audiences.

In this role, you’ll develop a scalable, high-output video content engine that fuels Darkroom’s brand voice. You’ll design a creative system for rapid, high-quality production across channels, repurposing standout moments from podcasts, events, and behind-the-scenes footage. With a performance-driven approach to storytelling, you’ll adapt quickly to platform shifts, experiment with new formats, and continuously refine output based on real-world results.

This is a fully remote role supporting a team in the EST time zone and is open to candidates based in Brazil, Portugal, and Spain.

What You’ll Do

Social-First Video Editing

• Edit and produce standout content across short-form (TikTok, Reels, Shorts) and long-form (YouTube, webinars).

• Create native video formats optimized for IG, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, and X, including repurposed edits and cutdowns.

• Build scroll-stopping hooks, apply text overlays, closed captions, sound design, and motion graphics that support performance.

• Turn voice notes, podcasts, webinars and interviews into polished, platform-native video content.

• Surface and extract the most compelling moments from raw footage: podcast soundbites, behind-the-scenes gems, founder tangents, interviews, etc.

• Collaborate with the Video Lead on edits, structure, and narrative framing.

• Organize, tag, and manage footage to create a systemized pipeline for recurring content formats.

• Understand performance data and collaborate with the marketing team to refine editing strategies based on what drives reach, engagement, and conversion.

• Test hooks, variations and formats to optimize output over time.

• Stay ahead of editing trends and platform algorithm shifts.

Production Excellence

• Apply finishing touches: color correction, transitions, graphics, and text effects that align with the Darkroom brand language.

• Deliver content in multiple aspect ratios and formats for cross-platform distribution.

• Maintain high audio fidelity, visual clarity, and consistent branding across deliverables.

• Proactively troubleshoot creative or technical challenges and recommend solutions.

• Support post-production for Darkroom’s podcast and event recordings.

• Add intros/outros, audio enhancements, and accessible subtitles.

You’re a Great Fit If You:

• Have 3-4+ years of experience editing content for social-first brands, creators, or agencies.

• Know your way around Adobe Premiere, Final Cut, and have working knowledge of After Effects, Photoshop and motion graphics.

• Have a sharp eye for storytelling, pacing, and rhythm, and you know how to build content that keeps attention.

• Understand editing for performance, not just aesthetics. You know what performs on TikTok vs. YT Shorts vs. LinkedIn.

• Are fluent in optimizing content across multiple aspect ratios and formats.

• Can own your edit from concept to final export while staying collaborative, communicative, and open to feedback.

• Thrive in fast-paced, feedback-rich environments where no two days (or edits) are the same.

• Are organized, meticulous, and always ready with a plan B (or C).

Bonus Points If You:

• Have experience editing founder-led content or personal brand material.

• Have worked on performance-driven or growth marketing creative.

• Use AI tools (Descript, Runway, etc.) for cutdowns, transcription, or speeding up your workflow.
