About Exchange Life

Exchange Life is one of the fastest-growing e-commerce travel jewelry brands in the US. We sell collectible country charms for travelers, with new products launching soon. We run a fully remote content team of editors, filmmakers, and creators across the world.

We're looking for an editor who can own their output and be creative within proven marketing fundamentals - not just execute tasks. This is not a gig; it's a long-term partnership. Many of our editors have been with us for 2+ years.

You'll work closely with our Content Lead and Marketing team. We're a small, high-output team that moves fast, communicates daily, and invests in the people who show up.

What Success Looks Like

After 3-6 months, a successful hire is consistently producing short-form videos that scale on ads and organic - 50%+ thumb-stop rates, 30%+ hold rates - and iterating on winning formats without needing direction from the marketing team. You'll be a trusted creative partner, not just an executor.

Core Responsibilities

* Edit TikTok and Reels content optimized for hook rate, retention, and watch time - not just aesthetics

* Review your past edits daily, identify what's working and what isn't, and improve without repeating mistakes

* Collaborate with the marketing team to test new creative angles and iterate on winning formats

* Turn around content quickly and communicate proactively every day - no check-ins required

* Stay on top of TikTok and Instagram trends and apply them where relevant

Must-Haves

* You can watch a viral video or winning ad and break down exactly what made it work

* A strong recent portfolio of short-form edits (ideally 20+ from the last few months)

* Familiarity with multiple formats: headline videos, talking heads, voiceovers, AI videos

* Ability to read metrics (hook rate, retention, watch time) and know what to change next

* Takes ownership, internalizes feedback, doesn't repeat the same mistake twice

* Highly skilled in CapCut Pro or a comparable editing tool

* Strong written and spoken English; able to work independently

Nice-to-Haves

* Experience editing for e-commerce brands

* Experience reading ad metrics and understanding what drives ad performance

Not a Fit If

* Your portfolio is mostly long-form, YouTube, or event/wedding content

* You can't point to a recent viral video or winning ad and explain why it performed

* You need a fixed schedule or close supervision to stay productive

* You're looking for a short-term project or side gig

Compensation & Working Style

* Engagement: Independent contractor, paid in USD

* Compensation: Competitive base rate + uncapped monthly performance bonuses

* Location: 100% remote

* Hours: ~40 hrs/week, long-term role

* Schedule: Fully flexible - work whenever you want, as long as you turn work around quickly and communicate daily (async). No timezone overlap required.

* Time off: Flexible PTO - take the time you need, just coordinate with the team

* Tools you'll use: CapCut Pro (or comparable), TikTok/Meta analytics

* Growth: We invest in committed people - access to courses, software, and 1-on-1 mentorship

* Working style: No micromanagement
