Video Editor

GTMLab is a growth consultancy. We help businesses across Southeast Asia solve their hardest growth problems and turn the answers into measurable results.

Since 2024, we’ve grown from a small founding team to 100+ people and worked with 500+ clients, from local SMEs to regional enterprises. We’re bootstrapped, profitable, and growing fast, which means we answer to our clients and our standards, not to investors.

Growing that fast only works if the creative behind it actually performs. That’s where you come in.

The role

We’re hiring a Video Editor to turn raw footage into content that stops the scroll and moves the numbers. Most of your work will be short form for paid ads and social, where every second has to earn its place. But it won’t stop there. You’ll also take on long form projects like podcasts, YouTube videos, and brand content, so you need to be just as comfortable holding attention for 30 minutes as you are for 15 seconds. You’ll work across clients from different industries and countries, which means your portfolio grows fast. Fast pace, fast iteration, real ad budgets on the line.

What you’ll own

• Performance creatives. Edit short form videos for Meta ads and other paid channels, built around strong hooks, tight pacing, and a clear call to action.
• Long form projects. Edit podcasts, YouTube videos, interviews, and other long form content, and cut them down into short clips that can live on their own.
• Polish and finishing. Bring every edit together with sound design, music, subtitles, basic color correction, and clean transitions. The details matter: audio levels, subtitle timing, smooth cuts.
• Brief to story. Work closely with our creative leads to understand the brief, the audience, and the objective, then translate scripts and ideas into strong visual storytelling.
• Edits that perform. Don’t just follow the brief. Propose cuts, hooks, and variations that you think will perform better, and learn from what the data says.
• Clean workflow. Keep projects organized with proper naming conventions, folders, versioning, and archiving, so any file can be found and revised quickly.
• Reusable files. Maintain editable project files so revisions and new variations can be turned around fast.
• Trend tracking. Stay on top of editing styles, ad trends, hooks, pacing, and motion design, and bring fresh references back to the team.
• Use AI as a tool, not a shortcut. AI creative tools can speed up ideation and production, but the eye, the taste, and the final call are still yours.

What you bring

• 3+ years of experience as a video editor, with a portfolio covering both short form and long form content.
• Agency experience or a background in other fast-paced environments is preferred.
• Strong proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro. Final Cut Pro is acceptable, but an Adobe workflow is preferred.
• Familiarity with AI creative tools such as Midjourney, Kling, OpenArt, and Google Veo.
• A sharp sense of pacing and storytelling, whether you’re working with 15 seconds or 60 minutes.
• High attention to detail, from audio levels to subtitle timing.
• Able to juggle multiple projects and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
• Able to work fully from our office in Menteng, Jakarta (full WFO).

We’re not just looking for someone who checks all the boxes for this role, we’re looking for a partner in our journey of growth. Someone who’s ready to dive in, contribute to our vision, and help us take things to the next level.

If you’re looking for an environment where your ideas are valued, your voices are heard, and your contributions directly impact us and our clients’ growth, this is the place for you.
