Job Description

ProfileGuard is an American SaaS company that helps people protect and manage their online reputation. We're growing our content team and looking for a motivated, detail-oriented video editor who wants consistent, long-term work with a US client. We're not looking for someone with 10 years of experience and a traditional reel. We want someone who grew up in the AI era. You know how to use AI tools to speed up your workflow. You've learned editing from YouTube, not film school. You understand how short-form content works because you've been consuming and creating it your whole life. If you're a go-getter who takes pride in their craft and wants real creative work for your portfolio, not template filler, keep reading. **What you'd be editing:** • SaaS explainer/demo videos about how ProfileGuard works and why it works • AI comedy ads for ProfileGuard (footage provided) • Talking head explainer videos meant to be posted on Meta • The narrative is security-based. If you have prior work related to network security, application security, or cybersecurity, I'm very interested. **What I'm looking for:** • Strong pacing. You know how to hook someone in the first 3 seconds. • Clean cuts, smooth transitions, text/caption overlays • Comfortable with Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut, or similar • Bonus if you use AI-assisted editing tools (Runway, Descript, Opus Clip, etc.) • Good written English communication • Honest about your timelines. I'd rather have a realistic deadline than a missed one. **Rate and structure:** • $15-25/hr depending on complexity • Most tasks are short-form edits (reels, demos, talking head cuts), so individual deliverables are quick turnaround • This starts per-project. If we work well together, it moves to a monthly retainer with steady volume. **Perks for retainer editors:** • We pay for your AI and editing tools. Even on months that we have no work for you, we still will pay for your tools. • Full portfolio rights. Every video you edit for us is yours to showcase freely. Use it on YouTube, Behance, your personal site, wherever. • LinkedIn recommendation from the founder and professional reference for future clients. We want you to grow, not just work. **How this works:** 1. Fill out our application form: [https://forms.gle/n1zN2MnVdYQviw1v8](https://forms.gle/n1zN2MnVdYQviw1v8) 2. I review portfolios and shortlist candidates 3. Top candidates get a paid test task using real footage I provide 4. If the test goes well, we start a 2-week trial You can also PM me directly, but preference is given to form submissions. Payment via Wise, Payoneer, or crypto. Your choice. We do not use PayPal. Two revision rounds per deliverable. Communication through WhatsApp or Discord. To confirm you've read the full post, include the word "**ProfileGuard**" in your PM or form submission. ProfileGuard is being built from the ground up and this role grows with the company. We're looking for someone who wants to build something, not just collect a check.
