Short-Form Video Editor & Content Creator

Summary:
We're looking for a creative and dependable Short-Form Video Editor & Content Creator to help grow a personal brand focused on business, entrepreneurship, training, and education.
This isn't a traditional hourly position.
We pay for results, not hours.
There is no time tracking or requirement to sit at your computer for a certain number of hours. If you can create a great piece of content efficiently, that's a good thing. We care about quality, consistency, meeting deadlines, and creating content people actually want to watch.
We're looking for someone who can eventually do more than simply follow editing instructions. We want someone who can understand the content, recognize engaging moments, and help turn raw ideas and footage into great social media content.

Job Description

Key Responsibilities
Your primary responsibility will be turning raw footage and existing content into engaging short-form videos for Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and other platforms.
This includes editing raw talking-head footage; creating strong pacing and clean cuts; adding engaging captions, graphics, B-roll, music, sound effects, zooms, and transitions when appropriate; and maintaining consistent branding and quality.
You'll also help repurpose long-form content. You may receive a training, webinar, interview, podcast, or longer video and be expected to identify the strongest moments that could become individual short-form videos.

Some assignments may be simpler than others. More advanced projects that fall substantially outside the scope of a standard short-form edit may be priced separately before work begins.

B-Roll & Visual Storytelling
We're specifically looking for someone who understands good B-roll, not someone who just adds random stock footage.
You should understand how to use visuals to reinforce what's being said, maintain attention, illustrate an idea, create emotion, and make videos more visually interesting without over-editing it.

Content Development
Depending on your skills, you may also help with:

• Creating graphics/carousels
• Brainstorming hooks and content ideas
• Repurposing one piece of content into multiple posts
• Researching trends within our niche
• Identifying successful editing styles and formats
• Creating thumbnails/covers
• Helping organize and maintain a content library/calendar
• Scheduling/publishing content

Qualifications
You should have demonstrated experience editing engaging short-form content and a strong understanding of Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.
We're looking for someone with:

• Strong short-form editing skills
• Good judgment about pacing and viewer retention
• An eye for engaging B-roll
• Strong attention to detail
• Creativity without unnecessary over-editing
• Ability to follow a brand/style guide
• Ability to accept feedback and improve quickly
• Ability to work independently
• Reliable communication
• Consistent ability to meet deadlines
• Understanding of current short-form trends, hooks, and editing styles

Experience with CapCut, Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or comparable professional editing software is welcome. We're more interested in the quality of your finished work than which software you use.

Equipment Requirements
You must have:

• A reliable computer capable of handling video editing
• Reliable internet
• Enough storage and performance to download, edit, and upload video files consistently
• Your own editing software/tools

What We Offer

• Complete work independence, no time tracking
• Work from anywhere
• Flexible schedule as long as deadlines are met
• Consistent ongoing work for the right person
• Clear expectations and feedback
• Opportunity for increased volume and responsibilities
• Opportunity for higher-paying/advanced projects as skills and responsibilities grow

We want this to become a long-term working relationship with someone who learns our brand and becomes increasingly capable of turning raw content into finished posts independently.

How to Apply
Please submit:
1. Your resume
2. Your portfolio that includes 3–5 examples of short-form videos you've personally edited.
3. A brief explanation of what you believe makes a short-form video engaging.
