About the role

  • Edit 3–5+ short form clips per week from long form footage, with quick turnarounds (sometimes same day).
  • Craft strong cold opens, trims, and pacing tailored to TikTok/Reels/Shorts.
  • Add accurate, on-brand captions and punch up with motion graphics, callouts, emojis, and SFX when appropriate.
  • Mix and sweeten audio (dialogue cleanup, music/SFX balance) and do basic color correction/matching.
  • Version content for 9:16 / 1:1 / 16:9 and export platform-ready files with correct codecs and loudness.
  • Package assets: clean project files, labeled exports, thumbnail pulls, and simple metadata (working title/tags).
  • Keep projects organized in Dropbox/Drive per our file naming and folder conventions.
  • Collaborate with producers/social strategists, take thorough notes, and turn revisions around promptly.
  • Join regular Zoom/Slack check-ins for feedback and planning.

Requirements

  • 2+ years editing short-form content for TikTok, Reels, Shorts, or equivalent experience demonstrated in portfolio.
  • Proven hook-first storytelling for vertical video: you can articulate why something will stop a scroll.
  • Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro as your primary NLE.
  • Solid audio fundamentals: Denoise, EQ, compression, loudness targets for spoken word vertical content.
  • Comfort designing and styling subtitles for vertical formats.
  • Familiarity with current platform norms and trends (cuts, pacing, memes, sounds, transitions) without chasing every gimmick.
  • Strong communication, time management, and reliability in a remote environment.
  • Portfolio/reel of vertical edits (please include links; TikTok/Reels/Shorts links are ideal).
Benefits
  • Experience cutting comedy, creator-led, or podcast-driven content.
  • Basic thumbnail design skills (Photoshop/Illustrator/Canva).
  • Familiarity with YouTube metadata and SEO for Shorts.
  • Prior collaboration with a social strategist or growth lead.
  • Proficiency in CapCut, Instagram Edits, or similar mobile tools—but not used as your primary editing tool.
  • Adobe After Effects for motion graphics.
