Video Editor – Fitness Apparel Brand (Short-Form Content & Ads)

SOUL OMEN is a growing men’s fitness apparel brand built around bodybuilding, discipline, suffering, growth, and embracing change.

We are looking for a skilled video editor to join our team and help us produce high-quality short-form content for Instagram, TikTok, and paid advertising.

This is not a basic "cut clips and add captions" editing position. We want someone with a strong understanding of modern short-form content, pacing, storytelling, hooks, and performance-driven editing.

What You'll Do
Edit short-form videos for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and Meta ads
Colorgrade raw SLOG footage
Edit UGC, athlete content, founder content, gym/lifestyle footage, and professional camera footage
Turn raw footage into engaging videos with strong hooks and pacing
Create multiple variations of successful concepts for testing
Edit both organic content and direct-response advertising creatives
Add captions, sound design, music, effects, transitions, zooms, B-roll, and other elements when appropriate
Repurpose longer footage into multiple short-form videos
Follow creative direction while also bringing your own ideas to improve the edit
Organize and manage raw footage and project files efficiently
Make revisions quickly based on feedback and performance data
What We're Looking For

Must have:

Strong portfolio of short-form video editing
Experience with colorgrading SLOG
Experience editing for TikTok, Instagram Reels, or paid social ads
Strong understanding of pacing, hooks, retention, and storytelling
Ability to make fitness/apparel content feel premium, gritty, masculine, and authentic
Strong attention to detail
Fast communication and reliable turnaround times
Ability to take feedback and make revisions without excessive back-and-forth
Comfortable working with both iPhone/UGC footage and professional camera footage

Big plus:

Experience with fitness, bodybuilding, streetwear, fashion, or DTC/e-commerce brands
Experience editing Meta/TikTok advertisements
Understanding of direct-response marketing
Experience creating multiple creative variations from the same raw footage
Familiarity with current short-form editing trends without simply copying them
The Style We're Looking For

Our brand has a dark, gritty, cinematic, masculine aesthetic.

Think:

Hard training
Discipline
Struggle
Transformation
Brotherhood
Lifestyle
Authentic gym culture
Premium apparel presentation

We don't want overly flashy edits, excessive transitions, or generic "UGC agency" style videos.

The editing should feel intentional, raw, cinematic, and modern.

Workflow

We will provide raw footage, creative direction, references, and/or briefs.

You will be expected to:

Review the footage
Colorgrade to match the aesthetic of the shoot
Identify the strongest moments
Build the edit around a strong hook/concept
Deliver the first version
Make revisions based on feedback
Create additional variations when requested

We are looking for someone who can eventually become a long-term part of our creative team, not someone we're hiring for a one-off project.

Hours & Availability
Part-time to start
Approximately 10–15 hours per week, depending on workload with growth opportunities for full time work + increase pay.
Must be responsive during agreed working hours
We care more about quality, speed, and reliability than simply being online for a certain number of hours
Compensation

$–$/month, depending on skill level and experience.

There is potential for increased compensation and workload as the brand grows and the editor takes on more responsibility.
