Video Editor

About the Role

ForXers is looking for a Video Editor in Abuja, Nigeria. The role sits within a fast-moving brand focused on forex education and digital empowerment, and it calls for someone who can shape raw footage into content people actually stop to watch and rewatch. This is not a basic clip-cutting job; the right person will think about story, rhythm, retention, and brand polish at every stage of the edit.

Core Editing Work

• Review unedited footage and decide what should be kept, removed, and rearranged for the strongest possible flow.
• Remove filler, pauses, and slow moments so the final cut feels tight and engaging.
• Build each video around a clear narrative flow: hook, problem, solution, proof, and call to action.
• Make sure the main message lands within the first three seconds.
• Adjust pace to match the energy and purpose of the content.
• Use quick cuts for impact when needed, and slower timing when a moment should breathe.
• Edit with Reels and TikTok audience behaviour in mind, where attention is limited and every second matters.

Audio, Colour, and Visual Finish

• Clean up background noise and balance voice audio so the final output sounds polished.
• Use music, sound effects, and audio cues with intention rather than as decoration.
• Apply colour grading to keep the visual tone consistent, premium, and aligned with the brand.
• Add captions, lower-thirds, and text overlays that remain clear on mobile screens, even in bright light.
• Maintain a stylish, high-end look across all published content.

Motion Graphics and Format Delivery

• Animate text, transitions, and graphic elements to improve visual appeal.
• Create logo reveals, data visualisations, and branded motion pieces where needed.
• Keep visuals dynamic without making them feel cluttered or chaotic.
• Deliver platform-ready versions of the same video in 9:16 for Reels and TikTok, 16:9 for YouTube, and 1:1 for Instagram feed.
• Compress files efficiently so they upload quickly without unnecessary quality loss.
• Keep footage and project files well organised so assets are easy to locate and nothing goes missing.

Collaboration

• Share rough cuts for review and implement feedback efficiently.
• Offer constructive pushback when a requested edit would weaken the message.
• Work closely with the social media and creative teams on content direction.
• Treat editing as a collaborative process that protects the core message of the video.

What the Role Requires

• Hands-on experience editing short-form videos for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.
• A strong grasp of storytelling, pacing, and visual rhythm.
• Working knowledge of at least one professional editing tool such as CapCut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro.
• Good understanding of audio cleanup, sound design, and colour correction or grading.
• Ability to repurpose one shoot into multiple format sizes for different platforms.
• Speed and reliability in meeting deadlines without sacrificing quality.
• Comfort working with feedback and communicating clearly.
• Availability to attend in-person shoots when needed in Abuja.

Bonus Experience

• Experience creating content for personal brands, education brands, or fintech businesses.
• Ability to produce motion graphics and simple animations.
• Interest in financial literacy, trading, or forex education.
• Owns or actively edits content for personal platforms.

Compensation and Confirmation

The probation period covers months 1 to 3 with a salary of ₦200,000 per month. After confirmation, the compensation increases to ₦250,000 per month, plus additional benefits that will be detailed in the contract. Confirmation depends strictly on performance and is not automatic.

Application Notes

Applicants are expected to submit a portfolio, a CV, and a short note of 3 to 5 sentences explaining why they are a strong fit for the brand. Applications without a portfolio will not be considered.
