We make it possible for creators, coaches, educators, and businesses to bring together their audience with engaging discussions, live streams, events, chat, courses, and payments — all in one place, all under their own brand.\nWe’re proud to be a fully remote company of around 200 (and growing!) team members from 30+ countries around the world. We seek exceptional individuals around the world, set them up to do the best work of their lives, and in turn, create a meaningful impact in their own lives. We don't track hours, but we do manage for high expectations very closely. We collaborate across time zones, are highly async, and like to document a lot.\nTwice a year, we bring the whole company together in beautiful places around the world for our company offsites. So far, we’ve hosted offsites in Turkey, Portugal, Mexico, Thailand, Colombia, Italy, Ireland, and more, with still more to come!\n\nAbout the role\nWe're hiring a Video Editor to join Circle's Design Studio. You'll own the editorial backbone of our video production pipeline, turning raw footage into finished stories that build trust with professional audiences.\nThis role is focused and high taste. Our video producers handle pre-production, scripting, and recording. Our animator handles motion graphics and UI sequences. You own the edit: finding the story in messy raw material, shaping the narrative, setting pacing, and delivering a locked cut ready for animation. After animation is complete, the project comes back to you for color, audio, and final delivery.\nWe work in two lanes: Brand videos are high polish projects like product launches, customer stories, and keynotes. Growth videos move faster: YouTube content, educational tutorials, paid ads, and social campaigns. Your job is to recognize which lane you're in and calibrate accordingly, without losing the standard.\nWe're not trying to look \"pretty.\" We're trying to look inevitable. Clear. Premium. Like a company you'd trust with serious money and serious attention.\nTypes of projects\nCustomer stories: 60 to 90 second testimonials showing transformation and outcomes\nProduct launches: 3 to 5 minute feature announcements, deep dives, and releases\nYouTube content: educational videos, thought leadership, and tutorials\nPaid ads: performance-optimized creative for Meta, YouTube, and LinkedIn\nKeynote presentations: high-stakes founder presentations and virtual productions\nBrand videos: premium positioning pieces that elevate our market presence\nWhat you’ll be doing\nShape narratives from raw footage (interviews, host segments, product demos, screen recordings)\nBuild structure, pacing, and emotional rhythm, not just \"tight edits\"\nDeliver locked cuts with final timing and structure before animation begins\nCoordinate handoffs with our animator to ensure smooth integration\nColor grade in DaVinci Resolve to maintain a consistent, premium look across projects\nMix audio for platform-ready delivery (clean dialogue, balanced music, controlled dynamics)\nManage project files with clear naming, version control, and clean handoffs\nFinalize videos after animation and deliver exports across all channels\nCreate social media cutdowns from bigger projects (short clips, vertical versions, alternate hooks) to keep the marketing calendar full when we have momentum\nWhat you'll need to be successful\nStrong alignment with our values,\nProficiency in English (spoken, written, and reading) at a CEFR Level C2 / ILR Level 5\n3 to 6 years of professional editing experience, ideally for software or technology companies serving professional audiences.\nStrong narrative instincts. You can pull a clean arc out of a long interview. You know what to cut, what to keep, and when to let a moment breathe. Your portfolio should show work where the edit is doing real work, not just assembling pre-planned shots.\nTaste and restraint. You know when effects help and when they cheapen. You can make something feel expensive with fewer moves, not more.\nA \"high trust\" operator. Circle gives you real autonomy. You get to make decisions, own your projects, and do your best work with the freedom to explore creative solutions. You care deeply about the brand’s integrity, you take feedback well, you're excited to figure things out, and you ship work you're genuinely proud of.\nInitiative. When a product launch or keynote drops, you see the angles. You pull the best moments, propose cutdowns, and make hay while the sun shines. You don't wait to be asked to create the obvious follow-ups or social media cutdowns.\nTechnical range\nAdvanced Premiere Pro or Davinci Resolve editing\nSolid DaVinci Resolve for color grading\nWorking knowledge of After Effects for basic compositing and cleanup (not motion design)\nComfortable using Figma for storyboarding\nComfortable using AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT, Nano Banana to speed up workflows\nComfortable with Notion, Frame.io, Dropbox, and Descript\nExperience with modern caption styles and clean text animation\nA reliable setup. High speed internet (50+ Mbps upload), professional audio monitoring, and a color-accurate display.\nStrong process habits. You keep timelines organized, label and version cleanly, protect the project as it evolves, and flag problems early.\nOur Visual Style\nWe're evolving toward a minimal, professional aesthetic. Intentional pacing that gives viewers space to absorb information. Captions placed with purpose, protecting eye line and keeping attention on the subject. Soft, seamless transitions. Subtle glows and gradients when they earn their place. Professional, consistent color across every project.\nWe make videos for professionals making serious decisions. Clarity and credibility matter more than flash or spice.\nHow to succeed in this role\nStory first, always. When you receive a 45 minute interview, start with the transcript. Find the three to five moments that matter. Know your arc before you touch the timeline.\nCommunicate as you go. Share rough thinking early. Ask questions when the brief is unclear. Keep collaborators in the loop. The best work happens when there are fewer surprises.\nBe organized. Between customer stories, product launches, and ad campaigns, we generate a lot of footage and assets. Your job is to keep the system clean: bins, versions, naming, exports, and syncing across cloud drives. If someone needs to pick up your project, they should be able to find everything fast.\nLive and breathe Circle's brand. You will be editing dozens of videos across every part of our business. Over time, you should internalize our visual language: how we pace, how we use color, how we position text, what kind of music we choose. Watch our published work. Study it. Ask questions about why we made certain choices. The best editors on our team become extensions of the brand itself, making instinctive decisions that feel unmistakably Circle.\nWho you will work with\nYou'll work closely with our Video Producers, who provide footage and creative direction. You'll hand off locked cuts to our Animator and collaborate on integration. You'll receive feedback from Marketing, the Design Studio, and Circle founders during reviews. You report to the Head of Design Studio.\n$85,000 - $105,000 USD per year\nThe cash compensation range shown is a starting point. In addition to equity, benefits and perks, your cash compensation is subject to an annual review and increase on a once per year basis.\nThe fun stuff\nFully remote: work from anywhere in the world!\nAutonomy and trust to do your job: we care about outcomes over everything else.\nPaid time away: all employees are given 35 days of PTO annually. We also offer a paid sabbatical after 5 years.\nGenerous U.S. benchmarked compensation and startup equity no matter where you are in the world.*\nAwesome medical coverage with 100% coverage for you and your family, or medical reimbursement options where applicable!*\nParental leave for parents expanding their family, or just starting one.\nHome office stipend to help you get up and running.\nLearning & development stipend to help you level up your professional skills.\nAnnual bonus potential for roles that don't already receive variable income or commission.\nCompany retreats: Twice a year, the Circle team gets together for a fully paid company retreat in incredible places around the world! We’ve had past retreats in Colombia, Portugal, and Mexico, with more planned on the horizon.\nYour role, location and unique circumstance may affect this.\nDiversity, Equity & Inclusion\nAs a fully-remote international company, diversity is baked into our DNA. Here’s how our CEO, Sid Yadav, frames our hiring mission: “let’s find talent in underserved and under-represented corners of the world, set them up to do the best work of their lives, and in turn, change their life.” To achieve this hiring mission, we offer competitive U.S. benchmarked compensation no matter where someone’s located in the world, and we proactively seek candidates who expand representation of backgrounds, cultures and lived experiences in our teams.\nEqual Employment Opportunity\nCircle is an equal opportunity employer and as such, we do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, or any other characteristic protected by applicable laws.
