Responsibilities

• Short-form editing . Cut Reels, TikToks, YouTube Shorts, and LinkedIn video from podcast and interview footage. This is the core of the job.
• Clip selection . Watch full episodes and pull the moments with the most potential. You decide what makes the cut.
• Hook building. Write and design the first three seconds. Text, pacing, sound, visual, whatever earns the stop.
• Fast, high-quality turnaround. Deliver polished edits on tight timelines without cutting corners. Use AI and automation tools to work faster, not sloppier.
• Trend research. Study what is working on each platform and in each client's niche, then apply it. We expect you to bring ideas, not wait for them.
• Brand adaptation. Match each client's look and voice. A cardiologist and a trading platform do not get the same edit.
• Podcast editing. Clean up long-form episodes for YouTube and audio, including basic audio balancing and light graphics.
• Performance feedback. Look at how videos actually did and let that shape the next batch. We will share the numbers with you.
• Quality control. Check captions, spelling, aspect ratios, and safe zones before delivery. Fix your own mistakes before we find them.
• Proactive communication. Keep the team updated on progress, flag blockers early, and speak up before a deadline is at risk, not after.

Requirements

• 2 or more years of fast-paced editing for social media, with a portfolio of short-form video that proves it
• Real instinct for what makes a video travel, not just clean technical execution

• Hands-on experience using AI tools in your editing workflow
• A track record of fast turnaround without sacrificing quality

• Current knowledge of platform trends and what each one rewards
• Comfortable taking direct feedback and revising without friction
• Clear written English and comfort in an async remote setup

Preferred

• Motion graphics, meme editing, or creative overlay work
• Cinematic trailer or brand film experience
