SOCIAL MEDIA VIDEO EDITOR (PRODUCTS/REAL ESTATE)

About the Role

We are looking for a creative, dependable, and detail-oriented Social Media Video Editor to work with our marketing team and create polished short-form video content across three established brands: WhisperKOOL, Ultra Wine Racks, and CellarCool.

You will work closely with our Social Media Coordinator and marketing team to turn provided raw footage, product videos, photography, and detailed video editing briefs into finished social media content for Instagram, Facebook , TikTok, LinkedIn, and YouTube.

The Style We Are Looking For (EXAMPLE - ---------- )

Our brands have a polished, premium visual style. We are particularly interested in editors who have experience creating short-form content featuring:

Products
Architecture and interiors
Real estate
Luxury or premium consumer brands
Home design and lifestyle
Visually driven commercial brands
This role is not primarily focused on talking-head, podcast, influencer, or interview-style editing.

Many of our videos feature products, wine cellars, interiors, installations, and other visually strong footage. We want an editor who knows how to let that footage carry the story and enhance it through thoughtful pacing, clean typography, music, subtle motion, color, and restrained use of effects.

The finished content should feel clean, modern, sophisticated, and brand-driven rather than overly trendy, busy, or templated.

Our team will typically provide the source footage along with an editing brief identifying the footage or timestamps to use, messaging, on-screen copy, and other creative direction. Your role is to turn those instructions and assets into an elevated, platform-ready finished video.

Strong communication and reliability are important. If something in a video editing brief is unclear, an asset is missing, or you identify a potential issue with an edit, we expect you to communicate with our team rather than make assumptions.

As you become more familiar with our brands and content standards, we want you to become increasingly comfortable contributing creative editing recommendations of your own.

We are looking for someone we can work with long term who consistently produces high-quality work, meets deadlines, communicates well, and develops a strong understanding of our brands.

Responsibilities

Your primary responsibilities will include:

Edit short-form video content for Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn, and other social platforms
Turn provided footage into polished, visually engaging, platform-ready social content
Follow detailed video editing briefs that may include timestamps, messaging, on-screen copy, editing direction, and calls to action
Create clean, professional text overlays and typography that complement rather than overpower the footage
Select appropriate music and use transitions, sound design, motion, and graphics with restraint
Maintain a polished and consistent visual standard across content
Edit product-focused, lifestyle, educational, promotional, and brand-awareness content
Crop, reframe, pace, color-correct, and otherwise optimize existing footage for vertical short-form video
Create variations when needed for different brands, platforms, and target audiences
Understand and maintain the distinct visual identities of our three brands
Collaborate with the Social Media Coordinator and marketing team on feedback and revisions
Organize project files, footage, graphics, and completed assets so they can be easily accessed by the team
Complete projects according to established deadlines and content calendars
Recommend editing treatments and creative approaches as you become familiar with our brands
Assist with additional video and visual content projects as needed

Schedule & Availability

This is a remote, hourly contract position working with a U.S.-based marketing team.

Hours will vary based on our current video editing and content needs. Contractors will have flexibility in when work is completed but will be expected to meet agreed-upon deadlines, communicate consistently, and be responsive during active projects.

There are no required daily working hours, although occasional availability for meetings, project discussions, or creative reviews during U.S. business hours may be needed.

Please include your current availability and typical turnaround time for video editing projects in your application.

Please include:

A short introduction about yourself and your professional video editing experience.
Direct links to 3–5 short-form videos you personally edited that best demonstrate the style we are seeking.
For your examples, we strongly prefer work featuring products, architecture, interiors, real estate, luxury/lifestyle brands, or other visually driven subjects.
A brief description of your specific role in creating each example.
The editing and design software you are most comfortable using.
Your current availability and typical turnaround time.
Important Portfolio Requirement

Please do not submit only talking-head, podcast, interview, gaming, or influencer-style videos as your portfolio examples.

Those editing skills can be valuable, but they are not the primary style of content we are hiring for.

We specifically want to see examples that demonstrate your ability to create clean, polished, elevated short-form content from visually strong footage.

If you have examples involving products, architecture, interiors, real estate, home design, hospitality, luxury goods, automobiles, or similar premium visual content, please prioritize those examples.

Applications that do not include relevant portfolio examples may not be considered.

Application Subject Line

Include the words "SOCIAL VIDEOS/REELS" in your subject line.

Quick Application Question

Choose one of the product, real estate, architectural, lifestyle, or visually driven videos you submitted above and briefly explain:

What did you do in the edit to make the finished video feel polished and premium?

Please keep your response brief. We want to understand your visual judgment and thought process as an editor.

Interview Process

Qualified candidates who advance through the application process will be invited to a live video interview with our team. A video interview is required before a final hiring decision is made.
