Computan is hiring on behalf of a client for a full-time, remote Video Editor & Motion Designer.

We're looking for someone who can turn real stories into engaging video content for paid ads and social media. The role combines video editing, motion design, social-first content creation, and creative testing.

Working Hours: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM Eastern Time (New York/Toronto)
Schedule: Monday–Friday

Experience: 2+ Years

What You'll Do

• Create short-form video ads for Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.
• Edit Reels, Shorts, and TikToks, including trend-based formats when appropriate.
• Create motion graphics such as kinetic captions, lower thirds, end cards, transitions, and animated versions of static ads.
• Build reusable video templates that allow you and the wider team to create new variations efficiently.
• Produce videos in the formats required for different platforms, typically 9:16, 1:1, and 16:9.
• Write, time, edit, and proofread on-screen captions and subtitles.
• Develop multiple creative openings and hooks for the same concept to support testing.
• Work from creative briefs and understand the objective behind each video before editing.
• Research successful ads and social content through resources such as Meta Ad Library, TikTok Creative Center, and social feeds, and apply relevant creative approaches to new content.
• Edit different ad formats, including UGC-style videos, talking heads, text-on-screen videos, founder stories, interviews, and process/field footage.
• Handle real-world footage sensitively and ensure that the final edit remains accurate and respectful to the people and stories being represented.

What We’re Looking For:

• Proven experience creating short-form social videos and paid video ads.
• Strong understanding of visual hooks, pacing, storytelling, and retention.
• Ability to create engaging openings and identify which hooks are worth testing.
• Strong skills in motion graphics and kinetic typography.
• Ability to create clean transitions, punch-ins/zooms, captions, lower thirds, and end cards that feel natural for social platforms.
• Experience creating and maintaining reusable video templates.
• A strong eye for composition, timing, typography, and visual storytelling.
• A portfolio demonstrating your short-form editing, paid ads, and motion design work.

Social Media & Advertising

• Strong understanding of how content is consumed on Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Facebook, and YouTube.
• You actively follow social video trends and can recognize when a trend is appropriate for a particular brand, audience, or cause.
• Understanding of different advertising formats, including UGC-style, talking head, text-on-screen, founder story, interview, and process-based content.
• Ability to research what is working in paid and organic social content and explain why a particular creative works.
• Ability to adapt successful creative ideas without simply copying existing content.

Communication & Attention to Detail

• Strong written and spoken English.
• Ability to understand the full context of a script, interview, or field update before editing.
• Excellent attention to detail when working with names, numbers, subtitles, captions, and important statements.
• You are comfortable reviewing and proofreading your own work before delivery.
• Strong judgment when editing sensitive or emotional real-world footage.
• Ability to tell a compelling story while maintaining the accuracy, dignity, and context of the people featured.

Understanding of Muslim Audiences:

Youdo not have to be Muslim, but you should have a genuine understanding of Muslim audiences, values, and cultural context.

You should be familiar with concepts such as:

• Zakat, Sadaqah, and Sadaqah Jariyah
• Ramadan and Eid
• Dhul Hijjah and the Day of Arafah
• Qurbani
• The importance of the last ten nights of Ramadan

You should also understand that Muslim audiences are diverse. Creative content that works for one audience may not necessarily work for another.

You should be comfortable treating Quranic verses and other sacred content with particular care, including ensuring that text displayed on screen is accurate and properly sourced.

An understanding of why some Muslim audiences prefer content without conventional music is also important. You should be able to create engaging edits using voice, natural sound, vocals-only nasheeds, or other appropriate audio approaches.

Tools:

You may use the tools you work best with. Experience with any of the following is welcome:

• Adobe Premiere Pro
• Adobe After Effects
• CapCut
• DaVinci Resolve
• Canva

We care about the quality of your work, not which software you use.

AI & Modern Editing Workflows

We're interested in editors who use AI thoughtfully to improve their workflow.

Experience using AI for tasks such as:

• Transcription
• Auto-captions
• Rough cuts
• Audio cleanup
• Video upscaling
• B-roll discovery
• Creating creative variations
• Other repetitive editing tasks

When applying, tell us which AI tools you use and what you use each one for. However, authenticity is important. AI should never be used to create fake people, places, events, or aid deliveries and present them as real.

What We Need From You:

Please include the following with your application:

• Links to 3–5 short-form videos you personally edited.
• At least one paid video ad you created. If you know how it performed, please share the results.
• At least one motion design/motion graphics piece.
• A list of the AI tools you use and what you use each tool for.

Pay: Rs50,000.00 - Rs80,000.00 per month
