Responsibilities

• Edit long-form video (YouTube episodes, podcast appearances, interviews). Cut dead space, tighten pacing, keep people watching.
• Cut finished short-form clips from that footage, or from other source material, for IG, TikTok, X, and Shorts.
• Help pick what gets made next. Bring your own angles, topics, and hooks.
• Own the queue. Chase down raw footage, move it from filmed to finished to posted, flag anything stuck.
• Add captions, banners, and graphics that look like they belong on the platform.
• Build and maintain a thumbnail template so every long-form upload looks consistent.
• Edit video ad creative for paid social when it comes up, then hand the finished files to the paid ads team to run.
• Speak up when a hook's wrong or a clip's buried in the wrong spot.

Requirements

• Real reps editing both long-form (podcast, YouTube, interview) and short-form (Reels, TikTok, Shorts).
• Fluency in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve for long-form, CapCut or similar for fast, native-feeling shorts. The finished clip is what matters. Use whatever gets you there.
• An eye for pacing. You can watch raw footage and know within seconds whether a moment is a clip.
• A caption or banner that looks "designed" gets scroll past. Native beats polished.
• Comfortable reading view-through and retention data, and adjusting the next cut based on what it says.
• Organized enough to run your own production queue and help build the brief as you go.
• Fast, reliable communication. If something's blocked, you say so right away.

Nice to have

• An AI-assisted clipping tool in your workflow (Opus Clip, Descript, Submagic, or similar).
• Basic thumbnail or graphic design (Canva or Photoshop).
• Motion graphics in After Effects.
