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, You Tube, Tik Tok, and Linked In. 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 (Tik Tok, Reels, Shorts) and long-form (You Tube, webinars).
  • Create native video formats optimized for IG, Linked In, You Tube, Tik Tok, 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 Tik Tok vs. YT Shorts vs. Linked In.
  • Are fluent in optimizing content across multiple aspect ratios and formats.
  • Can…
