Part Time
300
TBD
Jul 11, 2026
We're looking for an AI-first video editor and social media strategist who genuinely loves short-form content and shows up with the plan. If you study what's working on each platform, use AI as a daily working partner, and would rather tell us what to make than wait for a shot list, we'd love to hear from you. This role is mainly for Evident Elements, a clean electrolyte brand.
The Role
You'll find and analyze videos across platforms, spot what's performing and why, and give clear direction on what we should be making next. You're not just editing what you're handed. You're d
You'll edit short-form video knowing what actually performs per platform. A cut that wins on TikTok is not the same cut that wins on Reels or Shorts, and you understand those differences in your bones.
You'll partner with our team to turn that direction into a steady output of content that moves the brand forward. We work as a team to win, and you lead the thinking on your part of it.
What success looks like in the first 30 to 60 days: you're showing up with a point of view. You can tell us what's working, what isn't, and what you want to test next. You've spotted patterns in our content and competitors' content that we hadn't, and you're driving the content direction rather than waiting on a brief. The bar is strategic ownership, not task completion.
Schedule
You'll work part-time hours that fall somewhere between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM EST. We'll set the exact schedule together. Just want to make sure you can work somewhere inside that window.
What We're Looking For
- An AI-first mindset. You use AI as a real working partner every day, and it shows in how you work.
- Independent problem-solving. You think first, use AI to amplify your thinking, and verify before sending anything off.
- A strategy-first approach. You're someone who shows up with the plan and tells us what we should be making, testing, and improving. You partner with our team on execution, but you lead the thinking on your work.
- Platform fluency. You know what does well on TikTok versus Reels versus Shorts, and you can explain why, not just guess.
- A real love for this work. That comes through fast in conversation, and we'd rather hire someone who has it than someone who's just qualified.
How to Apply
A few things we'd love you to do, in order:
1. Please start your reply with the word "Jamal." We use this as a small check to spot applicants who read instructions carefully. Without it, we won't be able to review your application.
2. Record a 5-minute video answering the questions below. No script needed. We just want to get a feel for how you think.
3. Share your full tool stack with self-ratings (1 to 10). List every tool you use in your work, one per line, with a /10 rating. Include editing tools, AI tools, scripting and research tools, content calendar systems, anything you've built around your workflow. We're more interested in what you've built around your work than the big-name platforms. Honesty matters more than scoring high. The video will give us a sense of where you actually are.
4. Walk us through your work history. For your last 2 or 3 clients or accounts:
- What size was the account or channel when you started (followers, views, post volume, whatever metric fits)?
- What did you do for them?
- What was the outcome? Where were they when you started, and where are they now?
- If you have current clients, where are those accounts today?
We're trying to understand how you measure your own impact. The more specific, the better.
5. Quick confirmation that you can work somewhere inside the hours described above.
How You Use AI
In your video, spend a minute or so on this. The more specific the better:
- Which AI tools you use daily, weekly, and occasionally
- A specific example of a task in this role where AI saves you real time, and how you use it
- A time AI gave you a wrong or bad output. How you caught it, and what you did about it
- Anything you've intentionally chosen NOT to let AI do in your work, and why
We're looking for real, lived examples. The specifics tell the story.
A Few Questions for Your Video
Take these in order, and just talk through them naturally.
1. If you joined next week, walk me through how you'd figure out what content we should be making. What would you look at, and what would your first hypothesis to test be?
2. Walk me through how you find and analyze videos to d
3. A short-form video gets strong views but almost no profile visits or saves. How do you diagnose that, and what do you change?
4. Why do you love this work? Tell me about a recent video or
5. What's something about short-form right now, on a platform you know well, that most editors are getting wrong or haven't caught up to yet?
