Short Form Video Editor (Reels / TikToks) — Content Agency

About us:
We’re a content agency that produces short form video for business owners — scroll stopping Reels and TikToks that get our clients real results, not just views. We shoot the raw footage; you turn it into finished, ready to post content. This is a long-term role with real room to grow.

What you’ll be doing:

Editing vertical short form videos (15–60 sec) from our raw footage — Reels, TikToks, Shorts

Creating on-screen visuals and animations that illustrate what the speaker is talking about — if a client explains a point, you bring it to life on screen with graphics, text, and visual elements

Clean animated captions/subtitles, music, sound effects, color, and our branding

Sourcing your own B-roll and stock footage — pulling visuals from the client’s website, Google, and stock libraries to make the edit stronger (you don’t just wait for footage, you find what the video needs)

Cutting for retention — strong hook in the first 2 seconds, tight pacing, a CTA on every video
Occasionally some long-form editing (rare, but it comes up)

Following a simple brief for each client (we give you the hook, the vibe, the CTA)
Delivering batches consistently and on time

What I’m looking for (read carefully):

Consistency — the same high quality on video #1 and video #30. This matters most.
Communication — you reply, you ask when unclear, you update me. I will not chase you.
Strong English — you clearly understand direction and communicate back without confusion.
Strong visual animation + text skills — this is core, not a bonus. You can make on screen graphics that explain a point, not just slap captions on.
Resourcefulness — you can go find B-roll and stock footage on your own to elevate a video.
Software: strong in Adobe Premiere Pro and/or DaVinci Resolve (After Effects a big plus). CapCut is okay only if your output genuinely looks high-quality — but I lean toward editors working in Adobe or DaVinci.
A real eye for what’s working on IG/TikTok right now — pacing, transitions, text styling
Handles volume (~30+ videos/month per client) without quality slipping
Reliable internet and your own editing setup

Logistics — read this, because it matters:

• Base rate: $6.50/hr, part time to start, flexible hours based on workload

• Commission & bonuses — and they come FAST: when its a last minute or important booking and i need an edit turned around quick, the editor who jumps on it and communicates gets paid extra — fast. This isn’t some far off reward you wait months for. Show up when it counts and the extra money comes quick.

• There is no ceiling on this role. I mean that. If you’re consistent and crushing it, I will take care of you above and beyond — more hours, more pay, more bonuses, and a real spot on a growing team. The right editor grows with this agency, not under it.

• Most of the specifics (workflow, growth path, how we’ll work together) we’ll cover on a call — this post is step one.

How to apply — follow these exactly (this is part of the test):

1. Start your message with the word “GROWTH” so I know you read the whole post.
2. Send 2–3 examples of short-form videos you’ve edited (links).
3. In one or two sentences, tell me what makes a short-form video keep someone watching.
4. Best contact information

Applications that don’t follow all three steps won’t be considered.
