JOB OVERVIEW

We are hiring a professional, independent, full-time Senior Video Editor with 4+ years of experience creating high-performing short-form content for paid social, fashion, beauty, lifestyle, or e-commerce brands.

This is not a junior role. We are looking for someone who can take ownership, move fast, think creatively, and deliver polished work without constant supervision.

Apply only if you are genuinely strong in these areas:

1. Short-form video editing
Clean, premium, fast-paced 9:16 editing with strong hooks, pacing, transitions, sound design, captions, and visual taste.

2. CapCut and Adobe Premiere Pro
You must be highly comfortable editing in CapCut Desktop and/or Adobe Premiere Pro. You should be fast, organized, and able to deliver polished short-form videos without needing step-by-step guidance.

3. Social media trend awareness
You actively follow Reels, TikTok, and paid social trends. You understand what is performing now, which sounds are breaking, and why certain creatives convert.

Bonus: AI video tools
Experience with AI tools such as Higgsfield, Seedance, Runway, Kling, Pika, ElevenLabs, or similar tools is a strong bonus, but not required. If you are curious, dedicated, and willing to learn AI-assisted video workflows, that is also valuable.

You do not need to be perfect at everything from day one, but you must be excellent at editing, independent, serious, and willing to improve fast.

Do not apply if:
You have less than 4 years of professional video editing experience.
You have not edited short-form content for paid social, e-commerce, brand accounts, or high-volume content teams.
You do not have a recent portfolio of clean 9:16 edits.
You need training on basic editing fundamentals.
You cannot work independently and manage your own output.
You are weak on hooks, pacing, or sound design.
You do not follow Reels and TikTok trends daily.
You are unwilling to test, improve, and adapt quickly.
You cannot handle high-volume creative production.


What you will do:
Create 10–12 finished 9:16 videos per day for Meta, TikTok, and Reels.
Build multiple creative variations from the same base footage.
Create scroll-stopping hooks and strong first 1.5 seconds.
Edit clean, premium short-form videos with tight cuts and strong pacing.
Add captions, sound design, transitions, music, and visual polish.
Select trending and relevant sounds for each creative.
Develop 3–5 new creative concepts per week.
Work with a premium fashion, beauty, and lifestyle visual standard.
Take ownership of your work without needing constant instructions.
Bonus: use AI tools to generate or enhance footage when useful.
Required experience and skills:
4+ years of professional video editing experience.
Proven experience editing short-form videos for paid social, brand accounts, e-commerce, or lifestyle/fashion/beauty brands.
Strong portfolio of recent 9:16 videos.
Excellent understanding of hooks, pacing, retention, and conversion-focused editing.
Strong sense of visual taste: premium, clean, modern, minimal.
Strong skills in CapCut Desktop and/or Adobe Premiere Pro.
Strong understanding of Reels and TikTok trends.
Ability to create many variations without making the work feel repetitive.
Native-level or fluent English.
Ability to work full-time remotely.
Minimum 4 hours daily overlap with CET time zone.
Reliable internet connection: 50+ Mbps.
Strong computer setup: M-series Mac or RTX 3060+ PC, 16GB+ RAM minimum.
Bonus: experience with AI video or voice tools such as Higgsfield, Seedance, Runway, Kling, Pika, ElevenLabs, or similar.


Compensation:

This is a full-time remote role with a fixed base salary plus performance-based bonuses.

Bonuses are based on output quality, speed, creative performance, reliability, and ability to consistently produce winning creatives.

To apply:

Send all 6 items below. Missing anything means your application will not be reviewed.

Portfolio link.
Two examples of clean short-form edits.
Which tool you mainly use: CapCut Desktop, Adobe Premiere Pro, or both.
List 5 sounds currently trending on Reels or TikTok and explain in one sentence why each one is working.
Earliest start date and your expected monthly full-time salary.

Confirm this exact phrase:
“I read the full post and I am genuinely experienced in short-form video editing, social media trends, and high-volume creative production.”

Then answer this in 2 sentences:

What makes a hook stop the scroll, and how do you create 20 distinct variations from one base video without making them feel repetitive?

Copy-paste cover letters will be rejected.

Qualified candidates will receive a paid test task.
