Overview
Needle WP. Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Needle is a marketing agency in an app for ecommerce brands. We power content, ads, and email for 200+ brands worldwide, primarily in the US, Singapore, and Australia. We're backed by top investors Iterative, Ethos Fund, EQ2 Ventures, 1337 Ventures, and Goldbell to pioneer the future of AI-powered, human-directed marketing.
The Opportunity
We make strategy feel human and creative feel intentional. Our team is small, fast, sharp, and we care a lot about each other. If you vibe with that too - you’ll like it here.
At Needle, creative is the growth engine. If you know how to cut a story that stops the scroll, hold attention, and move people to action - this is the perfect opportunity for you.
We’re looking for a short-form Video Editor who can think in hooks, live in b-roll timelines, and produce polished content that feels sharp, human, and on-brand. You’ll be working on ads, reels, TikToks, Shorts, and UGC-style content for ecommerce brands.
What You'll Do
- Edit short-form vertical videos (TikTok, Reels, Shorts) with taste, rhythm, and strong storytelling.
- Add captions, motion, music, and visual treatments that match each brand’s voice and audience.
- Collaborate with creative leads and strategists to hit content goals.
- Stay on top of trends and use AI tools to speed up or enhance your work (e.g. ElevenLabs for VO, Sora2, Veo3 for footage).
- Work autonomously : no hand-holding, no long meetings or 20-slide brief decks. Just clarity and context, then own the full edit - from cuts to captions, motion graphics to sound design.
- Suggest edits, flag gaps, bring ideas to the table.
