Remote — Los Angeles. NeedAWebNow has no office in Los Angeles and this posting does not mean we operate there. Our only two offices are in Orlando and Miami, Florida. We are building a bench of people we can call on as work scales, and this role is open to candidates based in or around Los Angeles, United States, working remotely. Time zone: US Pacific — three hours behind our offices, so expect early starts for live calls.
About the role
Video for a small-business client is almost never a film. It is a 20-second vertical cut that has to work with the sound off, a YouTube pre-roll that has to land in five seconds, a founder talking to a phone camera that needs to not look like it. Los Angeles is on this list for the obvious reason: it is where the deepest pool of editors in the country lives. To be clear, NeedAWebNow has no office in Los Angeles and no operations in California — our two offices are in Orlando and Miami. This posting is us scouting remote editing capacity.
What you’d do
- Cut short-form vertical video for Instagram, TikTok and Facebook — captions burned in, pacing built for muted autoplay, safe areas respected.
- Edit and deliver YouTube and display ad creative to platform specs, including the cutdowns a campaign needs in several lengths and ratios.
- Build simple motion graphics and animated titles from brand assets our designers produce, consistent across a client’s whole set.
- Handle audio properly: level the voice, place the bed, cut to the beat rather than the timecode.
- Produce Spanish versions — subtitles, re-cut captions, voiceover sync when we have the track.
What we’d look for
- A reel of commercial work. Short-form social and paid cuts are more relevant than a long narrative piece.
- Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve, plus After Effects or equivalent. CapCut for fast turnarounds is a plus, not an embarrassment.
- Real caption discipline — accurate, readable, correctly timed, legible against a bright background.
- Spanish is a plus for captioning and QA.
Working remotely from Los Angeles
Fully remote, driven by project deadlines rather than fixed hours. You would be based in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. LA is US Pacific — three hours behind our offices — so expect an early start on the days there is a live review call, and expect us to respect that the rest of the time. No on-site requirement and no office to come into.
About this posting
This is an open, evergreen posting. We keep it up whether or not there is a seat free this month, because the alternative — starting a search the week we need somebody — is how agencies end up hiring whoever is available instead of whoever is right. There is no deadline on it and no urgency to manufacture. If you are good at this, apply, and we will talk; if the fit is there and the work is not yet, we will tell you that honestly and keep your application on file.
Every application comes to us through this page. We do not post on Indeed or any other job board, and nobody at NeedAWebNow will ever ask you to pay for anything as part of applying.
