Video Editor

About the Role

We're looking for a sharp, detail-oriented Video Editor to edit short-form street interviews for social media. Your single objective: turn raw interview footage into engaging, polished videos that people want to keep watching.

We provide the raw footage. Your job is to work it — find the best moments, cut out unnecessary parts, add captions, and create strong edits for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.

No specific industry experience required. Griffin will personally train you on the editing style we're looking for and what makes our interviews perform. What we can't teach is attention to detail and follow-through — bring that.
