Youtube & Social Media Video Editor

Position: YouTube & Social Media Video Editor
Type: Part-Time / Freelance with potential for long-term work
Industry: Trading / Education / Social Media

Also have room to grow to Full-time in the future

We’re looking for a creative, fast-paced YouTube & Social Media Video Editor to join our team and help turn raw footage into engaging content for YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and other social platforms.

A large portion of our content is centered around trading, entrepreneurship, motivation, mindset, and financial education, so having an interest in trading or finance is a major plus.

What You’ll Be Doing

Edit long-form YouTube videos from raw footage
Create short-form content for Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook
Turn trading livestreams and educational content into engaging clips
Create attention-grabbing hooks in the first few seconds
Add captions, graphics, zooms, sound effects, B-roll, and other elements that keep viewers engaged
Repurpose long-form content into multiple pieces of short-form content
Study successful creators and viral content to understand what is currently working
Use other creators’ content as creative inspiration/reference and develop original edits and concepts from those ideas
Help identify moments in our footage that have the potential to perform well
Edit content that matches our brand, personality, and fast-paced style
Stay current with social media trends, editing styles, memes, hooks, and viral formats
The Type of Editor We Want

We’re not looking for someone who simply cuts clips and adds captions.

We want someone who understands content.

You should be able to look at a video and think:

“This needs a stronger hook.”
“This part should be cut.”
“This would make a great Reel.”
“This style is trending right now.”
“We could turn this one video into 5 pieces of content.”

You should have a strong understanding of retention, storytelling, pacing, hooks, and what makes people stop scrolling.

Must Have

Experience editing YouTube videos and/or short-form social media content
Strong knowledge of CapCut, Premiere Pro, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve, or similar editing software
Strong understanding of TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts
Ability to create engaging captions and dynamic edits
Strong attention to detail
Ability to meet deadlines
Good communication
Ability to take direction while also bringing your own creative ideas
Reliable and consistent
Huge Plus

Experience editing trading, finance, business, or motivational content
Understanding of stock/options/futures trading
Experience growing social media pages
Experience creating viral short-form content
Ability to create thumbnails
Experience studying and recreating successful content formats
Strong sense of humor and understanding of internet culture
What We’re Looking For

We’re building a high-volume content machine, so speed and consistency are important.

We want someone who can become familiar with our brand and eventually understand the style of content we want without needing every edit explained step-by-step.

If you’re someone who watches YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram and naturally studies why certain videos go viral, you may be a great fit.

How to Apply

Send us:

Your portfolio
3–5 examples of your best work
Examples of both long-form and short-form content, if available
The editing software you use
Your availability
Your expected rate
A brief explanation of why you think you would be a good fit for this position
Bonus: Send us one example of a creator or social media page whose editing style you think is currently doing really well and explain what you like about their content.

We’re looking for someone who wants to grow with the brand, not just complete a few editing assignments.

If you think you’re that person, we want to see your work.
