About the role
About the Role
We produce short-form content at high volume for personal brands and sales organizations. The content we edit is used to recruit, convert clients, and build authority — not just get views. The edit quality directly affects revenue for the people we work with. We are hiring editors who specialize in short-form reels as their primary work. Not as a side skill. Not occasionally. If your main focus is long-form, wedding, or commercial work, this role is not a fit.
What You'll Be Editing
- Talking head content — tight cuts, no dead air, punchy pacing
- Split-screen formats — [Client] speaking on top, animated graphics or chart builds on the bottom
- Raw moment captures — minimal editing, preserve authenticity
- Occasionally: coaching call clips repurposed into short-form
What We Need From You
- Proficient in CapCut, Premiere Pro, or DaVinci Resolve
- Clean, accurate auto-captions — you manually fix every error before delivery
- Turnaround: 24 hours for short-form clips, 48 hours for long-form
- You communicate proactively. If something is unclear, you ask before you guess.
- You can receive specific feedback and apply it without pushback
What This Is Not
- This is not a creative direction role. Scripts, briefs, and style references are provided. Your job is execution.
- This is not a high-autonomy position to start. You will follow briefs exactly until you've proven your judgment matches the brand.
Compensation
Paid per deliverable, or Bi-Weekly on a set target (e.g. 60 videos per month). Rate discussed after test edit. Test edit is not paid — delivered same day you submit. It takes most editors 45-60 minutes.
