BILINGUAL ENGLISH/SPANISH SHORT-FORM VIDEO EDITOR & CONTENT PRODUCTION SPECIALIST

BILINGUAL ENGLISH/SPANISH SHORT-FORM VIDEO EDITOR & CONTENT PRODUCTION SPECIALIST

Long-Term Remote Position | Personal Brand + Real Estate + Lifestyle

I am looking for a talented, creative, reliable short-form video editor and content production specialist to become a long-term member of my growing media/business team.

This is NOT simply a job where you receive one video and cut it into a Reel.

I am building a personal brand around Johanna and need someone who can help turn a very large library of existing footage into strategic, beautiful, engaging content.

I have 10,000+ photos and videos currently on my phone, including talking-to-camera footage, voiceovers, real estate, Airbnb/hospitality, travel, food, lifestyle, home design, product content, and behind-the-scenes footage.

I need someone who can help me transform this raw content into a consistent content pipeline.

ABOUT THE BRAND

My primary personal brand is Johanna.

The content will cover:

• Real estate
• Real estate investing
• Entrepreneurship
• Airbnb/hospitality
• Homes and home design
• Lifestyle
• Travel
• Food
• Products and finds
• Personal growth
• Building a successful and financially independent life
• Behind-the-scenes content

I also have connected businesses/brands including Suite Dreams Cleveland and Pura Vida Finds by Johanna.

The goal is to create content that feels cohesive while allowing each business to have its own purpose.

WHAT I NEED FROM YOU

You will primarily be responsible for taking my raw footage and turning it into polished short-form content for:

• Instagram Reels
• TikTok
• YouTube Shorts
• Facebook Reels

Content may eventually be repurposed across additional platforms.

You will edit:

• Talking-head videos
• Voiceover videos
• B-roll/storytelling videos
• Home/property tours
• Real estate educational videos
• Travel videos
• Lifestyle videos
• Product videos
• Airbnb/hospitality content
• Before-and-after content
• Behind-the-scenes content
• Educational and inspirational content

BILINGUAL REQUIREMENT

English and Spanish are required.

I frequently create content in English and Spanish, and some videos may contain both languages.

You must be comfortable understanding spoken Spanish and English well enough to:

• Understand the meaning of the footage
• Select the best clips
• Create accurate captions/subtitles
• Understand bilingual conversations
• Preserve my natural voice and personality
• Know when content should be captioned in English, Spanish, or both

You do NOT need to make my English sound artificially perfect.

My accent and natural way of speaking are part of my identity.

However, you should be able to identify obvious mistakes, confusing sections, awkward pauses, or places where editing can make the message clearer.

WHAT A TYPICAL PROJECT MAY LOOK LIKE

I may give you:

• Several raw video clips
• A voice memo
• A rough idea
• A topic
• A folder of B-roll
• Or simply say, “I want to make a video about this.”

You will help turn that into a finished short-form video.

For example:

I send you footage of an Airbnb renovation plus a voice recording explaining what happened.

You determine:

• Which clips are strongest
• The best opening/hook
• The order of the footage
• Where to cut
• Where B-roll should appear
• Captions
• Music
• On-screen text
• Pacing
• Ending/CTA

The final video should feel intentional—not like random clips placed together.

EDITING STYLE

I am looking for an editor with excellent visual taste.

My brand direction is:

• Elegant
• Feminine
• Warm
• Organic
• Aspirational
• Joyful
• Sophisticated
• Approachable
• Clean
• Editorial
• Pura Vida-inspired

I like beautiful visuals, natural light, soft colors, earthy/pastel tones, feminine details, and occasional fun/colorful moments.

I do NOT want every video to look like a generic TikTok template.

Avoid excessive:

• Transitions
• Flashing effects
• Emojis everywhere
• Overly aggressive zooms
• Distracting animations
• Cheap-looking templates
• Trendy effects that don’t fit the content

The editing should make the content more compelling without overpowering the person speaking.

CAPTIONS

Captions are extremely important.

You should be able to create:

• Accurate English captions
• Accurate Spanish captions
• Bilingual captions when appropriate
• Emphasis on important words
• Easy-to-read formatting
• Correct punctuation

Captions should be visually attractive but never make the video difficult to watch.

HOOKS

You should understand short-form storytelling and retention.

You should be able to recognize when a video needs a stronger opening and suggest a hook.

Examples:

Instead of:

“Today I’m going to show you this house…”

Potentially:

“I almost walked away from this property…”

or:

“Three things I wish I knew before buying an investment property.”

You do not need to write every script yourself, but you should understand what makes someone stop scrolling.

CONTENT SELECTION

Because I have 10,000+ pieces of footage, I need someone who can help identify valuable content.

You should be able to look at raw footage and recognize:

• A good story
• A funny moment
• A useful tip
• A beautiful visual
• A strong emotional moment
• A potential educational video
• A potential trend
• Footage that can be repurposed

I do NOT want someone who simply waits for me to tell them exactly which 30 seconds to edit.

I want a creative partner who can make suggestions.

CONTENT ORGANIZATION

A major part of this position will eventually involve helping organize my large content library.

We will use cloud storage and an organized folder system.

You should be comfortable working with:

• Google Drive
• Cloud-based folders
• File naming systems
• Content categories
• Editing queues
• Approved content
• Posted content

You should be organized enough that we can gradually turn thousands of random videos into a usable content library.

CANVA

Canva experience is strongly preferred.

You may occasionally help with:

• Reel covers
• TikTok covers
• Simple graphics
• Text overlays
• Story graphics
• Branded templates

The primary job is video editing, but familiarity with Canva is a major advantage.

SOCIAL MEDIA KNOWLEDGE

You should understand how content differs between:

• Instagram Reels
• TikTok
• YouTube Shorts
• Facebook Reels

You should understand:

• Video length
• Hooks
• Retention
• Captions
• Trends
• Audio/music
• Cover images
• CTAs
• Repurposing

You do NOT need to be my complete social media manager at this stage.

However, I want someone who understands the social-media environment and can make intelligent recommendations.

CONTENT VOLUME

I am building a consistent publishing system.

Initially, I expect approximately:

15–30 short-form videos per month, depending on the complexity of the content and the final workflow.

Quality is more important than simply producing a large number of videos.

As the brand grows, the volume and responsibilities may increase.

LONG-TERM OPPORTUNITY

This is intended to be a long-term position, not a one-time project.

If we work well together, I would like this person to become a consistent part of my media team as the brand grows.

There may eventually be opportunities to take on additional responsibilities involving:

• Content strategy
• Content repurposing
• Scheduling
• Social media support
• Trend research
• Analytics
• Content planning

Those responsibilities would be added gradually and compensated accordingly.

WHO I AM LOOKING FOR

You should be:

? Creative
? Reliable
? Organized
? Detail-oriented
? Responsive
? Comfortable working independently
? Good at storytelling
? Excellent at short-form editing
? Fluent in English
? Fluent or highly proficient in Spanish
? Comfortable receiving feedback
? Able to meet deadlines
? Interested in building a long-term working relationship

I especially value someone who can say:

“I noticed this footage could become a great video. Here’s what I would do.”

rather than simply:

“Tell me exactly what to do.”

EXPERIENCE

Please include examples of:

• Instagram Reels
• TikToks
• YouTube Shorts
• Talking-head videos
• Voiceover videos
• Storytelling/B-roll videos

Real estate, lifestyle, hospitality, travel, beauty, home, or personal-brand experience is a strong advantage.

SOFTWARE

Please tell me which programs you use.

Examples:

• CapCut
• Adobe Premiere Pro
• Final Cut Pro
• DaVinci Resolve
• Canva
• Other editing software

You do not need to use a specific program as long as your work is excellent.

TIME ZONE & AVAILABILITY

This is a remote position.

Please tell me:

• Your country/city
• Your time zone
• Your normal working hours
• How many hours per week you are available
• Your response time during working hours

Some overlap with U.S. Eastern Time is preferred because communication and feedback will be easier.

COMPENSATION

Starting budget:

$300–$500 USD per month, depending on experience, portfolio, availability, and scope.

I am looking for the right person rather than simply the cheapest person.

If the relationship works well and responsibilities/output increase, compensation can increase accordingly.

PAID TRIAL PROJECT

Before making a long-term decision, selected candidates will be asked to complete a paid trial editing project using actual sample footage.

The trial will allow both of us to determine whether we are a good fit.

I will evaluate:

• Editing quality
• Storytelling
• Captions
• English/Spanish accuracy
• Pacing
• Creativity
• Attention to detail
• Ability to follow brand direction
• Communication
• Turnaround time

1. PORTFOLIO

Please include at least 3–5 examples.

2. BILINGUAL EXPERIENCE
