About the Role

GetTruckDrivers is looking for experienced Video Editors to join our creative and marketing team remotely.

We are currently looking for:

Short-Form Video Editor

Long-Form Video Editor

You may apply for one or both. Your portfolio should reflect the type of work you'd like to be considered for.

This position will initially begin on a per-reel/per-video basis as a test period. After approximately one month, we will evaluate your performance, quality of work, reliability, communication, and overall fit with the team. Strong performers may be offered the opportunity to transition into a full-time remote position.

Compensation during the initial period will be determined based on your experience, portfolio, editing capabilities, and expected output.

What You'll Do

You'll create high-quality, visually polished, motion-graphics-driven content designed to tell compelling stories, communicate clear messages, and ultimately turn viewers into clients.

Depending on your role, you'll work primarily on short-form social media content or long-form YouTube content.

Your responsibilities may include:

Editing engaging short-form reels or long-form videos

Creating purposeful motion graphics, animations, captions, and visual elements

Using strong pacing, storytelling, hooks, and visual hierarchy to maintain viewer attention

Turning raw footage into polished, professional content aligned with our brand

Using editing techniques that support audience retention and conversion

Incorporating sound design, music, B-roll, graphics, and other creative elements where appropriate

Collaborating with our marketing and creative team on feedback and revisions

Completing revisions efficiently and following creative direction

Maintaining consistent quality and meeting agreed-upon production deadlines

What We're Looking For

Proven video editing experience. This is not an entry-level position. You should have professional editing experience and examples of previous work.

A strong portfolio. A portfolio or editing reel is required. Applications without one will not be considered.

Strong motion graphics skills. You should be able to create visually engaging content beyond basic cuts and transitions.

Strong storytelling instincts. You understand hooks, pacing, structure, retention, and how to keep viewers engaged.

A conversion mindset. Our content isn't created just to look good. It should educate, engage, build trust, and encourage viewers to take action.

Attention to detail. You care about typography, sound design, timing, visual consistency, and the small details that make content feel professional.

Ability to take feedback. You can receive creative direction, make revisions efficiently, and collaborate with a team.

Strong communication and reliability. Since this is a remote position, you should be responsive, organized, and dependable.

CDT availability. You must be available during our standard working hours of 9:00 AM–5:00 PM CDT, Monday through Friday.

Initial Test Period & Full-Time Opportunity

This role will begin as a project-based position, with compensation provided on a per-reel or per-video basis.

The initial period allows us to evaluate:

Editing quality and creativity

Ability to follow our brand and creative direction

Turnaround time and reliability

Communication and responsiveness

Ability to incorporate feedback

Overall fit with our marketing and creative team

After approximately one month, we will review your performance. Successful candidates may be offered a full-time remote position with consistent ongoing work.
