About the role:
As a Video Editor at Backroads, you’ll play a critical role in shaping how our Backroads trips come to life through video. With a constant influx of footage captured by guests, trip leaders, and photographers around the world, you will transform raw content into a steady stream of polished, engaging stories that inspire audiences and strengthen brand affinity. This is a hands-on editing role focused on crafting high-quality short- and mid-form videos optimized for social media, web, YouTube and paid channels—ensuring every piece reflects the Backroads brand and resonates with our audience. This is not a field-based role; all work centers on post-production and editing rather than traveling to capture footage.
Sitting at the intersection of brand storytelling, social media and performance marketing, you’ll collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to deliver content that is both creative and results-driven. Success in this role means consistently producing compelling video content at scale, efficiently turning raw footage into on-brand assets, and aligning output with clear marketing objectives. You’ll also help maintain a well-organized, accessible video library that empowers teams to maximize the impact of our content across all platforms.
