Post-Production Editor (Video & Photo) | Latin America

About Precision Social

Precision Social is a social media and content production agency based in the United States. We build and execute content strategy for brands that want their story told well, and we produce the photo and video that carries it. Our teams work in pods — a Content Strategy Lead, a Social Media Manager, and a Content Producer — and we hold a high standard for craft, communication, and follow-through.

Our values guide how we work: Redwood Thinking (build what outlasts us), Let Picasso Paint (genius recognizes genius), and Burn the Forest Floor (greatness demands courage).

The Role

We're hiring a Post-Production Editor to own the edit bay. You'll take raw video footage and still photos from our production shoots and turn them into finished, platform-ready deliverables across every client we serve: short-form vertical video, long-form brand pieces, and retouched photography.

This is a deadline-driven editing role. You are not the person shooting; you are the person who makes what was shot look excellent, consistently, on time, and on brand. If you take real pride in a clean cut, a tight caption burn, and color that matches across a whole batch, you'll do well here.

This is a permanent, full-time position on a U.S. team. It is not freelance, not project-based, and not a per-deliverable arrangement.

How This Role Is Employed

Precision Social hires internationally through an established Employer of Record. The EOR acts as your legal employer in your country, issues your employment contract under local law, runs local payroll, and administers all statutory benefits and contributions. Your day-to-day work, direction, team, and manager are all Precision Social.

We are currently able to hire in select countries across Latin America. Your eligibility is confirmed early in the process.

What You'll Do

Video Editing

  • Edit short-form vertical content (Reels, TikTok, Shorts) and long-form brand video from raw shoot footage

  • Cut to brand voice and platform best practices: pacing, hooks, retention structure

  • Build and burn captions, lower thirds, titles, and simple motion graphics

  • Sound design, audio leveling, music selection from licensed libraries, and voiceover sync

  • Color correction and grading for consistency across a shoot and across a client's library

  • Deliver in correct specs and aspect ratios per platform and per client

Photo Editing

  • Cull, sequence, and select from full shoot galleries

  • Color correction, exposure, and white-balance consistency across batches

  • Retouching: skin, product, blemish and distraction removal, straightening, cropping

  • Build and maintain per-client presets and export recipes so output stays consistent shoot to shoot

Asset Management and Workflow

  • Ingest and organize footage and stills according to Company file structure

  • Maintain naming conventions and folder architecture so any team member can find any asset

  • Track all editing work and time in Asana

Collaboration and Revisions

  • Work directly with Content Strategy Leads and Content Producers on creative direction, shot lists, and edit intent

  • Turn around revision rounds quickly and accurately, incorporating internal and client feedback

  • Flag missing coverage, technical problems, or unusable footage early — before a deadline is at risk

  • Meet the Company's communication response standards during working hours

What Success Looks Like

First 30 days: You know our file structure, our clients, our brand standards, and our delivery specs. You're editing short-form independently.

First 90 days: You're handling the full post workload for assigned pods with minimal direction, hitting turnaround targets, and your first-pass edits require fewer revision rounds than when you started.

First 6 months: You're improving the process, not just working inside it — better presets, faster templates, cleaner handoffs.

Required Qualifications

  • 2+ years of professional video editing experience, agency or in-house brand environment preferred

  • Demonstrated photo editing and retouching ability

  • Advanced proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Lightroom

  • Working proficiency in Adobe Photoshop and After Effects

  • A portfolio or reel showing both video and photo work

  • Strong command of platform-native short-form video conventions, including conventions specific to U.S. audiences

  • Professional written and spoken English. You will be in live daily meetings with a U.S. team and reading client feedback directly. English fluency is a hard requirement, not a preference.

  • Legal right to work in your country of residence

  • Ability to manage multiple concurrent deadlines across multiple clients

Preferred Qualifications

  • Prior experience working directly with a U.S. or North American team

  • Experience editing for paid social and performance creative

  • Motion graphics and template building in After Effects

  • DaVinci Resolve color experience

  • Experience with a formal DAM or structured archive system

  • Familiarity with Asana or comparable project management software

Schedule

Precision Social's standard team hours are 8:45 AM – 4:30 PM U.S. Central Time, Monday through Friday. Your working hours align to U.S. Central Time, and your local start and end times are set in your employment contract accordingly.

This is a collaborative role. You will be in revision loops, on calls, and unblocking producers in real time throughout the workday. This is not an asynchronous, deliver-overnight position.

Total weekly hours, overtime, rest days, and public holidays follow your employment contract and the law of your country.

Equipment and Workspace

Precision Social provides everything you need to do this work from home:

  • Editing workstation and required peripherals

  • All software licenses, including Adobe Creative Cloud

  • Ergonomic chair and required workstation equipment

  • Monthly stipend covering the proportional cost of internet service and electricity used for work

What you provide: a quiet, distraction-free area in your home suitable for focused work and professional video meetings, with presentable on-camera lighting, and an internet connection capable of 375 Mbps download and 100 Mbps upload for daily large-file media transfer.

Compensation and Benefits

Pay: Competitive salary benchmarked to your local market, based on experience and demonstrated skill. Paid in local currency through your Employer of Record.

Statutory benefits for your country, administered through the Employer of Record, including social security and retirement contributions, statutory annual leave, statutory sick and parental leave, mandatory annual bonuses where applicable, and local public holidays.

Precision Social additionally provides:

  • Supplemental private health coverage

  • Equipment and connectivity provision as described above

  • Paid professional development allowance

  • Quarterly performance and development check-ins

Benefits referenced in Precision Social's U.S. materials — including U.S. medical plans, 401(k), and the U.S. Unlimited PTO program — apply to U.S.-based team members only.

Selection Process

A reel or portfolio showing both video and photo work is required for consideration. Shortlisted candidates may complete a brief, timed editing exercise using Company-provided sample footage. The exercise is not client work and is not used commercially.

Final candidates will complete a live video interview conducted in English.
