ABOUT US
Founded in 2011, FluentU is an online education company that has been distributed/remote since day one. We help people learn languages with real-world videos, including movie trailers, music videos, news and inspiring talks. We have a popular website, iOS app, and Android app. We’re a profitable, stable, and growing company with long-term focus, and we’re proudly self-funded.
We get millions of visitors per month on our website and have hundreds of thousands of people on our email list.
This is a unique opportunity to be at the ground floor of our video strategy, which is still in the early stages.
It’s a unique opportunity to be part of a company which might be the perfect balance for you: still small/young enough to be nimble, but with the resources to take advantage of, and thrive in, this coronavirus-induced economic environment.
We also believe that the creative constraints posed by coronavirus is an opportunity to innovate with new types of videos.
WHAT THIS JOB IS ABOUT
We are looking for a part-time (or full-time) video editor to help with editing videos related to language learning. This can be a broad range and can include content like:
– Story videos that are put together with AI generated images and your creative input, like Spanish At The Airport
– Media based videos where automated sections are combined with manually edited sections like Learn Spanish with TV Shows: Friends – Rachel’s crazy boyfriend
– Text based explanatory videos like Learn Spanish Question Words
– Video ads for social media
