Were looking for a highly creative, fast, and detail-oriented video editor who specializes in turning long-form podcast and video content into high-performing short-form clips for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok, and social platforms.

This role is about storytelling, pacing, and audience psychology—not just cutting clips. You must be able to identify mic-drop moments, emotional beats, humor, insight, or tension that stop the scroll and drive viewers to watch the full episode or click through to a website.

Youll be working across multiple brands and channels, each with its own tone and narrative.

Portfolio Requirement (Mandatory)

A portfolio is REQUIRED to be considered.

Your portfolio must include:

  • Short-form clips created for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and/or TikTok

  • Examples that demonstrate:

    • Strong hooks in the first 1–3 seconds

    • Clear narrative flow within short-form content

    • Effective use of captions, graphics, and on-screen text

  • Links to live posts or channels where possible (preferred)

Applications without a relevant short-form portfolio will not be reviewed.

Core Responsibilities

  • Identify high-impact moments from long-form podcast and video episodes

  • Create scroll-stopping short-form videos optimized per platform

  • Build strong hooks immediately using:

    • Clip selection

    • On-screen text and kinetic captions

    • Supporting graphics and subtle motion

  • Follow and enhance the narrative arc (setup tension payoff)

  • Add supporting visuals (zooming, punch-ins, b-roll, motion elements) that increase retention

  • Maintain brand consistency across multiple clients and channels

  • Work quickly and efficiently while maintaining high quality

  • Collaborate with producers and content strategists to align clips with growth goals

Required Skills & Experience

  • Demonstrated experience editing short-form social content

  • Deep understanding of what performs on Shorts, Reels, and TikTok

  • Ability to instinctively spot:

    • Mic-drop moments

    • Emotional beats

    • Viral soundbites

  • Advanced proficiency in professional video editing tools

  • Strong typography, captioning, and graphic placement skills

  • Excellent pacing, timing, and storytelling instincts

  • Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines

Creative Expectations

  • You create moments, not just edits

  • You understand how to:

    • Tease without over-giving

    • Build curiosity

    • Drive action (full episode, website, subscription)

  • You can adapt your editing style to different brands and audiences

Performance Benchmarks

  • Platform-native clips (not generic repurposing)

  • High retention in the first 3–5 seconds

  • Minimal revisions due to strong creative judgment

  • Consistent output at scale

Bonus (Nice to Have)

  • Podcast or long-form interview editing experience

  • Familiarity with analytics, retention curves, or hook testing

  • Light motion graphics experience

  • Agency or multi-brand editing background

Ideal Candidate

  • Fast, reliable, and creative

  • Understands why content performs

  • Comfortable in a high-output, growth-driven environment
