Overview

The Editor role at Braintrust is a project-based contract position, with an initial rate of ~$300–$500/day (or ~$1,800–$3,000/week) depending on experience, starting in about 10 days.

Role Description

We are seeking a fast-moving, highly skilled Editor with 5–7 years of professional experience in short-form, agency-facing content. The candidate will work on sizzle films, manifestos, case studies, visual prototypes and integrate AI-generated assets along with live action footage. Although we also produce a fiction "B-side", the core focus is on high-speed, narrative-driven, agency work.

• Build narrative-driven edits; perform VO sync, alternate reads, music, and rhythm passes.
• Integrate AI-generated shots and workflows into the editorial process.
• Execute light motion finishing in After Effects.
• Perform quality control, versioning, and localizations.
• Collaborate in real-time with post coordinators and creative supervisors via Frame.io and WhatsApp.
• Coordinate with European teams in a fast-paced, 24-hour workflow.

Requirements

• 5–7 years of professional editing experience in a high-speed, short-form environment.
• Expert-level proficiency in Adobe Premiere.
• Strong working knowledge of After Effects (preferred).
• Practical experience with AI tools for video and voice-over workflows.
• Fluency in English; Spanish is a strong plus.
• High responsiveness and comfort working with globally distributed teams.
