Careers

Build the Mark Studios team with us

We're a 25+ person remote agency cutting video for some of the biggest creators and brands online. We hire senior-only, async-first, and we treat editors and designers like the craft professionals they are.

Why work with us

We're building the kind of agency we wished we had worked at — senior craft people, no crunch culture, no body-shop dynamics, real career growth.

Remote, always

We've been fully remote since day one. Our team works from the Philippines, the US, and Europe — async-first with overlap windows, never butts-in-seats.

Senior team, senior pay

We hire 5+ year professionals and pay above market for the role and region. No "agency rates" that quietly underpay editors so the agency can mark up.

Big briefs, real clients

You'll edit for creators with millions of subs and brands with 9-figure revenue. Public, named projects you can put on your reel.

No body shop dynamics

You're matched to projects you actually want and can do well — not whatever's in the queue. Specialist routing, not generalist drudgery.

Tooling that helps

Our internal platform, Notion, paid AE plugins, paid plugin libraries, Adobe Stock licenses. We don't bill these back to you.

A founder who edits

Mark Santos still cuts video. Briefs, feedback, and creative direction come from someone who can sit at the timeline with you, not a non-editor sales person.

Async by default — no mandatory calls

We default to platform messages, Loom, and timestamped video review — no standing meetings, no surprise calls. Calls happen when they're useful, not as a habit.

Predictable workload, no crunch

We capacity-plan two weeks out. If we don't have room for a project, we say no — instead of squeezing it onto your timeline. Your weekends stay your weekends.

Open roles

We're a small but growing team — open roles change quarterly. The list below reflects what we're actively hiring for. Don't see your role? Send us your reel anyway.

  • 2+ years of QA, proofreading, or production-coordinator experience (creative agency or video production preferred)
  • Solid understanding of project management workflows (Notion, ClickUp, Asana, or similar)

How we hire

  1. Application + reel. Send your application and your strongest 3–5 pieces. We respond within 5 business days.
  2. Async craft test. A small paid trial: an actual mini-project sized to take 2–4 hours. Real footage, real brief, real feedback.
  3. Conversation. 30-minute call with Mark and a project manager. No whiteboarding, no trick questions — just figuring out fit on both sides.
  4. Trial engagement. A 2–4 week trial on real client work, paid at full rate. Either side can opt out at the end.
  5. Offer. Either part-time, retainer, or full-time. We don't lock anyone in unless we're sure it's a good fit.

Don't see your role?

We hire on talent, not titles. If you're a senior craft person in video editing, design, motion, or strategy — and you've got a reel that proves it — send us a note. We respond to everyone.
