Job Description

✂️ We're Hiring: Freelance Video Editor (Social Media)

At Posh Social Co., we work with small businesses and startups who have poured everything into building something meaningful — and we get to help tell that story through content. We're growing, and we're looking for a skilled video editor to join our team remotely and help us deliver polished, on-brand short-form content for our clients.

This is a purely remote, editing-focused role. No shoots, no on-site requirements — just great editing, delivered on time.

One thing that makes this role exciting: our clients span a variety of industries — lifestyle, hospitality, events, service-based businesses, and more. No two pieces of content are the same, and you'll never be stuck editing the same thing on repeat. If variety keeps you sharp, you'll thrive here.

Role Description

This is a freelance, project-based role focused entirely on video editing for social media. You'll receive raw footage and a creative brief, and your job is to turn it into scroll-stopping content that fits the client's brand and platform.

You'll work closely with our content strategist and account management team. Direction is provided — we need someone who can execute it cleanly, efficiently, and independently.

What You'll Do

  • Edit short-form video content (Reels, TikToks) from raw footage provided by our team — content spans both brand accounts and event coverage
  • Add captions, trending audio, transitions, and basic graphics
  • Follow brand kits, templates, and creative briefs — no guesswork
  • Deliver content in the correct format and spec for each platform
  • Incorporate feedback efficiently with minimal revision rounds
  • Must have a creative eye and ongoing, active familiarity with TikTok and Instagram editing styles, trends, audio, and formats — this should be something you live and breathe, not just check on occasionally
  • Willing to try new things, experiment with styles, and push creative direction forward — we don't want someone who plays it safe every time

Qualifications

  • Must have proven experience editing short-form social media video — brand accounts preferred, not just personal content
  • Proficient in CapCut, Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or similar
  • Comfortable working within brand kits and Canva templates
  • Fast turnaround is non-negotiable — deadlines are firm and expected to be met consistently
  • Strong eye for detail: pacing, captions, audio sync, visual consistency
  • Self-directed — you work from the brief and flag questions before starting, not mid-edit
  • Reliable communicator; responsive and organized
  • Understanding of what performs on Instagram and TikTok right now

Compensation

  • $15 per edited video
  • Projected volume: varies by month, capped at under $1,000/mo
  • Fully remote — work on your own schedule as long as deadlines are met
  • Opportunity for consistent, ongoing volume as our client roster grows

A Few Notes

  • Must have an iPhone 16 or newer
  • Must have ample storage capacity and a reliable system for content transfer, organization, and quality assurance — footage must arrive and be delivered clean, complete, and on time
  • Raw footage and briefs will be delivered via shared Google Drive
  • Final exports must be delivered in agreed formats by the deadline — no exceptions
  • This role does not include strategy, client communication, or on-site work
  • Ideal for an experienced editor looking for consistent, flexible freelance income

To Apply

A portfolio is required to be considered. Please send examples of short-form brand video content you've edited and a quick note about your experience to: renee@poshsocial.co — applications without a portfolio will not be reviewed.
