Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Pareto.AI is a San Francisco-based company specializing in connecting elite professionals with cutting-edge AI initiatives. They are hiring experienced Copy Editors to document film and video editing workflows, creating comprehensive guides that detail the editing process from start to finish. The role involves collaborating with a leading AI lab to capture expertise in a way that allows others to replicate the editing tasks accurately.


Responsibilities

  • This project is about documenting your end-to-end workflow as a film and video editing expert.
  • You'll pick a specific task you do in your editing work and create a complete guide that shows:
  • 1. What you start with - The instructions, information, or materials you receive at the beginning (e.g., raw footage, client brief, script, style references, audio files)
  • 2. Your step-by-step process - Exactly what you do from start to finish in your editing workflow
  • 3. Time for each step - How long each part of the task takes
  • 4. Tools you use - Any software, equipment, or resources needed (e.g., Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Avid Media Composer, After Effects, color grading tools, audio mixing software)
  • 5. Quality checklist - A detailed scoring guide that explains what makes the final result good vs. poor
  • In simple terms: We need to capture your complete film and video editing workflow—creating a manual that would let someone else learn to do your task exactly the way you do it, complete with timing, tools, and a way to measure if they did it well. This documents your expertise from the moment you receive a project to delivering the final edited product.

Skills

  • 5+ years of professional experience in Copy Editing, Editorial Services, or closely related publishing field
  • Strong command of grammar, punctuation, and style conventions (AP, Chicago, MLA, APA)
  • Experience editing for multiple formats (books, journals, magazines, digital content, or corporate communications)
  • English fluency (native or near-native proficiency required)
  • Exceptional written communication—ability to transform implicit expertise into explicit, reproducible instructions
  • Tool proficiency with standard editorial software and platforms—specifically Microsoft Word (Track Changes), Google Docs, Adobe Acrobat, style guide references, grammar checking tools (e.g., PerfectIt), and project management systems
  • Technical aptitude strongly preferred—proficiency with editing software, content management systems, and collaboration platforms
