Short Form Video Editor

About the Role

We don’t need someone who can “edit videos.” We need someone who understands attention. If you know how to hook in the first 2 seconds, control pacing, build tension with captions, and turn raw footage into content people actually finish watching — you’ll be responsible for creating high-impact vertical content designed to stop the scroll, increase retention, and drive measurable engagement across TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.

Responsibilities

• Editing 15–60 second vertical videos optimized for performance
• Crafting powerful hooks that immediately grab attention
• Adding dynamic captions, motion graphics, sound effects, and transitions
• Repurposing long-form content into high-retention short clips
• Staying ahead of trends, viral formats, and platform behaviors
• Collaborating with marketing and content teams to align on brand voice
• Testing different hooks, pacing styles, and caption formats to improve metrics

This role is not just about making things look good. It’s about making them perform.

Requirements

• 1–3+ years editing short-form content specifically
• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, CapCut, or equivalent
• Strong understanding of pacing, storytelling, and retention strategy
• Deep familiarity with TikTok, Reels, and Shorts best practices
• Ability to meet tight deadlines without sacrificing quality
• A portfolio that clearly shows high-performing short-form content

If your portfolio is generic, we’ll know. We’re looking for work that shows intentional editing and performance awareness.

Nice-to-Have Skills

• Experience working with influencers or personal brands
• Motion graphics experience (After Effects is a plus)
• Knowledge of analytics, retention graphs, and optimization strategies
• Strong color grading and clean sound design skills

What Success Looks Like

• Higher engagement rates
• Increased watch time and completion rates
• Consistent, on-brand output
• Content that aligns with current platform behavior and trends

Your edits should feel native to the platform — not like recycled content.

Why Join Us

• Real creative freedom
• A fast-moving, trend-driven environment
• Opportunity to grow with a scaling brand
• Competitive compensation based on experience and output

If you’re obsessed with hooks, retention, pacing, and performance — you’ll thrive here.
