Video Editor

At Near, we help top talent in Latin America find remote roles with US companies. Our mission is to create better lives by fostering a remote work culture that transcends borders.

Our client is a US-based company in the appliance industry that produces a daily industry podcast. Each episode is published across You Tube, podcast platforms, email newsletters, and Linked In, reaching professionals throughout the industry.

We are looking for a part-time Podcast Editor & Distribution Assistant to take each episode from raw recording to scheduled release. You'll edit around 6 episodes per week, create thumbnails, and schedule every episode across the company's platforms using a documented step-by-step workflow, with AI-generated titles, descriptions, and tags provided as part of the process.

This is a temporary position (early December to late March) with real potential to become permanent, most likely part-time, depending on performance and the company's marketing plans. You'll start in early December to allow overlap and hands-on training with the current team member before she leaves.

The ideal candidate is a detail-oriented, highly reliable editor who enjoys a repeatable routine and takes pride in getting every detail right. Since this role includes access to the company's social media and platform logins, trustworthiness and discretion are essential.
