The posting

Were looking for a highly creative, fast, and detail-oriented video editor who specializes in turning long-form podcast and video content into high-performing short-form clips for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok, and social platforms.

This role is about storytelling, pacing, and audience psychology—not just cutting clips. You must be able to identify mic-drop moments, emotional beats, humor, insight, or tension that stop the scroll and drive viewers to watch the full episode or click through to a website.

Youll be working across multiple brands and channels, each with its own tone and narrative.

Portfolio Requirement (Mandatory)

A portfolio is REQUIRED to be considered.

Your portfolio must include:

  • Short-form clips created for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and/or TikTok
  • Examples that demonstrate: Strong hooks in the first 1–3 seconds Clear narrative flow within short-form content Effective use of captions, graphics, and on-screen text
  • Links to live posts or channels where possible (preferred)

Applications without a relevant short-form portfolio will not be reviewed.

Core Responsibilities

  • Identify high-impact moments from long-form podcast and video episodes
  • Create scroll-stopping short-form videos optimized per platform
  • Build strong hooks immediately using: Clip selection On-screen text and kinetic captions Supporting graphics and subtle motion
  • Follow and enhance the narrative arc (setup tension payoff)
  • Add supporting visuals (zooming, punch-ins, b-roll, motion elements) that increase retention
  • Maintain brand consistency across multiple clients and channels
  • Work quickly and efficiently while maintaining high quality
  • Collaborate with producers and content strategists to align clips with growth goals

Required Skills & Experience

  • Demonstrated experience editing short-form social content
  • Deep understanding of what performs on Shorts, Reels, and TikTok
  • Ability to instinctively spot: Mic-drop moments Emotional beats Viral soundbites
  • Advanced proficiency in professional video editing tools
  • Strong typography, captioning, and graphic placement skills
  • Excellent pacing, timing, and storytelling instincts
  • Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines

Creative Expectations

  • You create moments, not just edits
  • You understand how to: Tease without over-giving Build curiosity Drive action (full episode, website, subscription)
  • You can adapt your editing style to different brands and audiences

Performance Benchmarks

  • Platform-native clips (not generic repurposing)
  • High retention in the first 3–5 seconds
  • Minimal revisions due to strong creative judgment
  • Consistent output at scale

Bonus (Nice to Have)

  • Podcast or long-form interview editing experience
  • Familiarity with analytics, retention curves, or hook testing
  • Light motion graphics experience
  • Agency or multi-brand editing background

Ideal Candidate

  • Fast, reliable, and creative
  • Understands why content performs
  • Comfortable in a high-output, growth-driven environment

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
