JOB OVERVIEW

About the Role

We are building a personal brand focused on performance, mindset, health, and discipline—distributed primarily through short-form social media.

This role is for a Video Editor who understands virality:

pacing

hooks

retention

cultural timing

Not cinematic.
Not corporate.
Fast, sharp, intentional.

The Role

You will work closely with the creator to turn raw footage into high-performing short-form content for platforms like:

Instagram Reels

TikTok

YouTube Shorts

Your job is to keep attention, amplify clarity, and make ideas hit harder—without over-editing.

Responsibilities

Edit short-form videos (15–90 seconds) for viral social platforms

Identify strong hooks and cut quickly to them

Maintain high retention through pacing and structure

Add subtitles/captions optimized for mobile viewing

Use zooms, cuts, and emphasis intentionally (not excessively)

Adapt edits to platform-specific styles and trends

Turn long-form content into multiple short clips

Deliver consistently and quickly

Required Experience

Proven experience editing short-form viral content

Strong understanding of social media retention mechanics

Proficiency in CapCut, Adobe Premiere Pro, or Final Cut Pro

Ability to create clean, readable captions/subtitles

Strong sense of timing, rhythm, and emphasis

Comfortable working with raw, unpolished footage

Very Important

You must understand:

The first 1–2 seconds matter most

Dead air kills performance

Simplicity beats overproduction

Speed > perfection

Nice to Have

Experience editing personal brands or creators

Familiarity with fitness, mindset, or performance content

Ability to suggest hooks or opening lines

Understanding of current TikTok / Reels trends

Editing Style We’re Looking For

Fast-paced but clean

Attention-driven

Minimal fluff

Clear message delivery

Confident, not gimmicky

If your style leans slow, cinematic, or overly polished, this is likely not a fit.

How to Apply

Please include:

A portfolio or examples of short-form edits

Links to any viral or high-performing videos you’ve edited

The tools you use (CapCut, Premiere, etc.)

Your availability (full-time or part-time)

Shortlisted candidates will be asked to complete a small edit test.
