About the Role A founder-led ecommerce and product-sourcing brand with a fast-growing short-form social presence is hiring a part-time video editor. The founder posts edutainment content built around interesting products and direct, no-nonsense business advice, and also runs live in-person events and a podcast. This is a seat for an editor who lives and breathes short-form social, brings ideas rather than waiting for a brief, and can move at volume across several content streams.

What You'll Own

Short-Form Editing & Volume

- Cu t a steady, high volume of reels and shorts for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts from raw founder footage, product clips, and event recordings.
- Turn long recordings (calls, event sessions, podcasts) into punchy standalone clips, identifying the strongest moments yourself.

Creative Direction & Proactivity

- Br ing genuine artistic license. Add b-roll, on-screen props, visual gags, and pacing choices that land the joke or the point without needing to be told.
- Treat on-screen graphics and captions as a space to experiment. Try different styles, test what actually drives retention and watch-through, and iterate. Come with opinions on what is working and why, and push those opinions rather than waiting to be directed.
- Develop hooks and openings that hold attention in the first two seconds, in the style of fast, advice-driven creators.
- Propose formats and running visual bits that can become part of the channel's identity.

Legibility & Craft

- Own caption and graphic legibility as a craft you actively refine: well-timed text, readable pace, positioned high on the frame, and clean enough to follow at a glance.
- Speaker color-coding for multi-person clips (one consistent brand color per speaker)



so viewers can tell who is talking instantly.
- Consistent look, sound balance, and polish across everything that ships, while still testing improvements over time.

Event & Long-Form Repurposing

- Edi t footage from live in-person events (short consult and "hot seat" style sessions) into shareable clips.
- Pull shorts from podcast episodes and long conversations.

Communication & Turnaround

- Fast turna round with minimal back-and-forth. Take a light brief and run with it.
- Flag your own questions early, deliver on schedule, and keep a tidy handoff/version process.

Required Skills

- 2+ years editing short-form social video with a portfolio that proves retention-focused, hook-driven work (not just clean cuts).
- Fluent in a modern editing stack (CapCut and/or Premiere Pro / DaVinci Resolve) plus captioning and clipping tools.
- Genuine AI-tool fluency for editing speed (auto-captioning, clip-finding, cleanup) paired with the editorial judgment to know what to keep.
- Strong sense of comedic and narrative timing; able to make advice content entertaining.
- Excellent written English and enough cultural fluency with Western social trends to edit for that audience.
- Self-directed, proactive, and comfortable owning and defending creative choices, including on graphics and captions.

Nice to Have

- Ex perience A/B testing or iterating on caption styles, on-screen graphics, and hooks based on performance data.
- Experience editing ecommerce/product or founder-personality content.
- Motion graphics / animated text and simple thumbnail design.
- Experience repurposing long-form (podcasts, webinars, event footage) into short-form at volume.
- Please do not hesitate to ping if you have any questions, edits to the role, or if you just want to chat again.
