Part-Time Video Editor – Personal Finance Creator (Talking Head)

We run fireby38, ( ---------- ) a personal finance channel about reaching financial freedom by 38. We post daily (1 video) short-form that gets cross-posted on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook , and YouTube Shorts, and we're starting long-form YouTube in the near future. We have about 55k followers across platforms and are growing fast.

Media kit: beacons.ai/fireby38/mediakit

THE WORK (about 30 Shorts + 2 long-form videos per month):

• Mostly straight talking-head: tight cuts, removing pauses and filler, keeping the pace moving
• Clean on-screen text (usually TikTok Sans) to highlight key points and numbers
• Captions when needed, kept minimal. The screen should never feel crowded
• Occasional images popping in and out, placed cleanly
• Occasional B-roll with voiceover, cut in smoothly with the talking-head footage
• Some videos are fully B-roll with voiceover (footage provided by us)
• Long-form: same clean style, 2 videos per month

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

• Final Cut Pro preferred (we edit in FCPX and can share our projects and text styles), but other editors are welcome
• Strong sense of pacing and retention for short-form
• Clean, minimal style: no fancy effects or transitions, just clean cuts and clean text
• Reliable turnaround: Shorts within 48 hours of receiving footage

DETAILS:

• Part-time, remote, ongoing
• Editing only, we handle all posting. About 30 Shorts per month, footage can be sent in batches
• $450/month
• A good fit for steady side work alongside other clients
• Long-term role, with pay reviewed as the channel grows

TO APPLY:
1. Put "fireby38 editor" in your subject line
2. Send 2-3 talking-head videos you've edited (Shorts prioritized, or long-form)
3. Tell us which editing software you use and confirm you're available for this workload at $450/month

Shortlisted applicants will do a paid test edit.
