Open Roles:

Content Creator & Video Editor

About the role

Aligned Marketing is an outsourced Marketing Director agency that manages organic social media for a growing roster of small and mid-sized businesses. Our clients range from e-commerce brands and nonprofits to travel companies and adventure operators. Every account has its own audience, voice, and goals - and we take that seriously. We are looking for a content creator and video editor to join our small, remote team and help bring client concepts to life. This is a long-term role built for someone who wants steady, creative work and a team worth sticking around for.

How the engagement works

We'll start with a few paid example projects so we can both get a feel for the fit. If it's working well, I'll bring you on as a regular contributor and you can count on up to 30 hours of work per month on an ongoing basis. Every task you receive in Asana will include an estimated time to complete. If the estimate feels off for a specific project, just flag it and we'll adjust - we're flexible and want this to work well for everyone. The expectation is that you're working efficiently within those estimates, not padding hours or dragging tasks out. This role pays $20/hour. Work is assigned on a rolling monthly basis through our content calendar, so you'll always know what's coming and when things are due.

What you'll actually do

  • Edit short-form videos (Reels, TikToks) from raw footage provided by clients or sourced internally - no filming required on your end

  • Design and build carousels optimized for Instagram and LinkedIn based on provided concepts and direction

  • Receive creative direction through Asana and execute independently - concepts, messaging, audience context, and raw assets are all provided

  • Deliver polished, client-ready content on a rolling monthly calendar with clear deadlines

  • Apply the right platform sensibility to each piece - what works on TikTok vs. LinkedIn is not the same thing, and you know that

  • Incorporate feedback cleanly and efficiently - we do one round of client review and need edits turned around by deadlines

You're a strong fit if...

  • You are genuinely good at video editing - you understand pacing, hooks, text overlays, transitions, and what makes someone watch to the end

  • You actively follow trends on Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn and can translate what's working right now into client-specific content

  • You can adapt your creative style across industries and audiences without losing quality -- a nutritional supplement brand and an adventure travel company are going to look very different

  • You are self-directed, communicate well asynchronously, and can manage your own deadlines without being chased

  • You take pride in your output and hold yourself to a higher standard than "good enough"

  • You are reliable - when you say something will be done, it's done

Bonus points

  • You create UGC or your own social content on the side - this is a great role for creators who want stable client work alongside their own channels

  • You have experience working with CapCut, Canva, or similar mobile-first editing tools

  • You have some background in marketing or understand how organic content connects to real business goals

  • You have worked with multiple clients or brands at once and know how to keep each voice distinct

What this role is not

This is not a role for someone looking to quickly check tasks off a list or who is content with generic, forgettable graphics. Every piece of content we produce represents a real business and a real audience. We care about quality, creativity, and performance - and we need someone who does too.

You will not need to film your own content, source raw footage, or come up with concepts from scratch. All of that is handled. What I need is someone who can take strong creative direction and execute it at a high level.

How we work

Everything runs through Asana. You'll receive individual tasks with creative direction, messaging context, audience notes, and raw assets attached. You complete the work and reassign the task back when it's ready for review. No weekly calls. No micromanagement. Just clear expectations, good communication, and great content. We work on a rolling monthly content calendar, so you'll always have visibility into what's ahead. Deadlines are real and the team counts on each other to hit them - but we also communicate openly when something needs adjusting.

To apply

Email your resume and cover letter to madeline@alignedmarketing.studio.

Please include links to 3 to 5 examples of your video editing or social media content work. If you create content for your own channels, share that too - it tells us a lot. A quick note on why you're a good fit for this type of work goes a long way. Applications without portfolio examples will not be considered.
