Who We Are

GrowthAssistant connects top marketing and operations talent with fast-growing companies that depend on great execution to scale. Founded in 2021 and named by Forbes as one of the best startups to work at, we’re a permanently remote team that runs on integrity, proactive candor, and a bias toward action — and we prioritize the human experience in everything we do. We hire for skill and for heart, and we invest in our people for the long haul.


The Opportunity

We’re hiring an AI-Enabled Short-Form Video Editor to support the growth of an emerging media brand focused on AI and technology — turning podcast episodes, interviews, and long-form recordings into polished, social-ready short-form clips for a growing audience across platforms. This is more than a production editing role: you’ll work autonomously from relatively loose direction, make strong independent creative decisions on hooks, pacing, and storytelling, help the team develop better creative briefs and repeatable formats, and experiment with AI tools for B-roll, visual enhancement, and production efficiency. The role is built for a curious, adaptable editor who understands what makes viewers stop scrolling and is excited to help scale a creator-led media brand from the inside.


What Your Day-to-Day Will Look Like

  • Short-Form Video Editing: Transform podcast episodes, interviews, and long-form recordings into engaging short-form social videos — identifying the most compelling moments, creating fast-paced edits with strong opening hooks, and adding captions, graphics, sound design, transitions, B-roll, and visual elements that strengthen retention and engagement.
  • Creative Development: Work from existing examples and loose direction while independently making strong creative choices; help the team develop and improve creative briefs, editing guidelines, and repeatable content formats; produce and test different hooks, structures, and editing approaches; and stay current on short-form social trends and platform-native styles.
  • AI-Enabled Production: Use AI tools to source or create supporting B-roll, visuals, and other enhancements; experiment with emerging AI video tools such as Higgsfield or similar platforms; and evaluate new workflows that could improve production speed or creative quality as the team’s AI tool stack evolves.
  • Workflow & Collaboration: Manage editing assignments through the team’s spreadsheet-based production workflow; collaborate directly with the show lead on feedback, priorities, and time-sensitive content; upload drafts and organize final files through Frame.io and Google Drive; and communicate proactively about timelines, creative questions, and blockers.
  • Process Building: Help establish a more structured and scalable editing process as the media brand grows — maintaining consistent quality while working through a regular content backlog and daily production needs.


What You Bring

  • Video Editing Experience: 3+ years of professional video editing experience focused on short-form social content, with a strong portfolio demonstrating podcast clips, interview content, social videos, or creator-led content.
  • Technical Proficiency: Advanced proficiency with Adobe Premiere Pro and the broader Adobe Creative Cloud; ability to turn long-form conversations into concise, engaging, and clearly structured videos.
  • Social-First Creative Instincts: Strong understanding of hooks, pacing, retention, visual storytelling, and social-first editing — with the ability to make sound independent creative decisions when working from loose briefs.
  • AI Curiosity & Adaptability: Genuine curiosity and willingness to test new creative and AI-enabled workflows as the tool stack evolves — comfortable experimenting with emerging platforms and integrating AI tools into a production routine.
  • Communication & Organization: Strong written and verbal communication skills; excellent organization and attention to detail; ability to manage multiple edits and revision cycles with consistent quality and proactive communication.


Bonus Points if:

  • You have experience editing content related to AI, technology, startups, or emerging industries.
  • You have hands-on experience with Higgsfield or other AI video-generation and enhancement tools.
  • You have experience developing creative briefs, editing templates, or repeatable content systems.
  • You have an understanding of organic social performance, audience retention, and content experimentation.
  • You have experience helping a podcast, media brand, or creator-led channel scale its content output.
