## Job description

## Who we are

Pearmill is a performance marketing agency. We plan, produce, and run paid ads for brands across Meta, Google, TikTok, and other channels, and our creative team produces the video and static assets that run in those accounts. We are a fully remote team across the US and Europe, and we use AI tools throughout our production work.

## About the role

We are looking for a video editor to work as a full-time contractor with one client in a regulated industry, across their paid ads and organic social. Every asset for this client carries required disclosure copy that must match the approved version exactly. Most of the work is precision work: cutting and versioning footage that already exists, and making sure everything that appears on screen is approved. We are looking for someone analytical who can QA their own work and build QA systems and templates that keep every version accurate at volume.

Primary responsibilities

- Produce multiple variations of each concept, where volume can be high.
- Resize every paid video into all required formats (currently five) and adjust framing for each one.
- Build organic social videos (Reels and video Stories) from approved templates.
- Add and update on-screen elements, including required disclosure copy, across every version.
- Work from briefs and plan priorities each week with the creative lead.
- Amend assets based on internal and client feedback until they are fully approved.
- Maintain a consistently high level of quality on every delivery.

## Requirements

- 5+ years of professional video editing and motion experience, with a portfolio or reel.
- Expert in After Effects, comfortable in Premiere Pro, and able to use AI tools in your workflow.
- Exceptional attention to detail. You can visually QA every text element on screen, and this is the most important skill for this role.
- The ability to keep track of many near-identical versions, which often differ by only a few lines of text, without mixing them up.
- Clear, proactive communication with the team. There are many revision rounds, and raising questions or mistakes early is part of the job.
- Project files built to our team standards (clear folder structure, descriptive names for files, compositions and layers, live text layers, no unused footage or third-party plugins), so other editors can open them and pick up when needed.
- Fluent English, written and spoken, and comfortable on video calls.
- Based in Europe, Latin America, or Canada with working hours that overlap US East Coast business hours.
- Consistently meets deadlines, including during high-volume periods.

Strongly preferred but not required

- Experience editing ads in a regulated industry, including how required disclosures are presented on screen.
- Experience working through legal and regulatory review rounds.
- Experience building reusable templates: social graphics, After Effects motion graphics templates, or Premiere Pro templates.

## How we work

- Day to day you work with the producer on this account and with our creative lead. One of our motion designers onboards you and stays involved for reviews.
- Batches usually have 2 to 3 days of turnaround, and some client changes come in on the same day.
- Briefs, approved copy, and feedback come in through Notion and Slack. Files live in Dropbox with a set naming convention.
- You join our weekly creative call, plus short check-ins when volume spikes.
- Every delivery gets checked against the approved copy before it goes to the client. You own the first check.
- We share workflows and AI experiments openly on the team, and we'd love it if you bring ideas that make this faster or safer.

How to apply

- Share your portfolio or reel through the application form. Please include regulated or versioning-heavy work, even if it is not your most visually striking work.
- Shortlisted candidates will complete a short paid test.

Flourishing at Pearmill We get an unreasonable amount of satisfaction out of making the things around us better at their jobs. Clients who arrived wanting a channel fixed and left with a system. People who joined to run ad accounts and left able to build a team that runs global strategy. And most recently, our little AI agents running around our Notion docs and giving us super powers. We're a fast growing, diverse group of goofy yet dedicated marketers, creatives, engineers, and analysts, running over $500M in ad spend across 15+ platforms. Join us!

## Competitive Advantages
- **Tech-Company Culture vs. Agency Model**: Pearmill explicitly designs itself to operate more like a tech company than a traditional agency. They focus on hiring "outliers" and providing extreme autonomy rather than relying on junior talent arbitrage. [pearmill.com](https://pearmill.com/blog/agency-culture)

- **Profit Sharing & Talent Retention**: A significant differentiator is their profit-sharing model, which ties team member compensation directly to the success of the business. This is rare in the agency world and aligns incentives. [pearmill.com](https://pearmill.com/careers)
- **Integrated AI & Human Judgment**: They combine human creativity with proprietary data engineering and AI tools, claiming this blend allows them to outperform competitors who rely solely on one or the other. [pearmill.com](https://pearmill.com/blog/agency-culture)

## Strategic Focus
- **Scaling an "Outlier" Team**: The company is focused on recruiting "outliers" from unconventional backgrounds who thrive on autonomy and designing new solutions, rather than fitting a typical corporate mold. [pearmill.com](https://pearmill.com/blog/agency-culture)
- **Building a Global, Remote-First Infrastructure**: With people across New York, Bay Area, Kiev, Minneapolis, Berlin, and Skopje, they are actively building a distributed and global culture.
- **Productizing Agency Services**: They are moving toward a more tech-centric model by building AI tools and frameworks that can be reused and scaled, moving beyond one-off project work.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture & Transparency**: Pearmill emphasizes a "healthier and more transparent environment." They are open about their compensation philosophy, profit sharing, and even their willingness to fire incompatible clients. [pearmill.com](https://pearmill.com/blog/agency-culture)
- **Distributed, Remote, and Global**: The company is fully setup for remote work, providing a "remote work budget" and allowing staff to work from wherever they are most productive. [pearmill.com](https://pearmill.com/careers)
- **Exceptional Perks & Benefits**:
    - 99% coverage for Health Care, Dental, and Vision. [pearmill.com](https://pearmill.com/careers)
    - 16 weeks of fully paid parental leave and 6 weeks of fully paid parental leave. [pearmill.com](https://pearmill.com/careers)
    - Profit Sharing (compensation tied to client success).
    - Unlimited vacation with a mandatory 3-week minimum.
    - 401k with 100% matching up to 4%.
    - Matching charitable donations and budget for activism.
    - Budget for learning (books, seminars, courses) and equipment (laptop, indoor plants). [pearmill.com](https://pearmill.com/careers)
    - Unlimited mental or physical health leave.
- **Autonomy & Impact**: Employees are given extreme autonomy and are expected to act as "outliers" with outsized impact, similar to early hires at tech giants like Stripe or Airbnb. [pearmill.com](https://pearmill.com/blog/agency-culture)
