JOB OVERVIEW

Short-Form Video Editor & Social Media Scheduler (Full time)

**Salary:** $650 USD/month
**Hours:** 38 hours/week, flexible — you choose your schedule
**Type:** Long-term, work from home
**Start:** As soon as we find the right person

About the work

We manage the personal brand of a UK chartered surveyor based in Dubai. He has 35 years in property and runs a YouTube channel about life and business in the UAE, alongside property consultancy, a property academy, and media work.

There is already a library of long-form video footage. Your job is to turn it into short clips, and to keep five social accounts posting consistently.

This is not a strategy role and it is not a "grow my following" role. It is a craft role. We need someone who is genuinely good at finding the interesting 40 seconds inside a 30-minute video, and who is reliable about getting things published on schedule.

---

What you'll do

- Cut short-form clips (TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts) from existing long-form footage — roughly 12–15 finished clips per week
- Add captions, hooks, and light on-screen text
- Schedule and upload across five platforms: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn
- Maintain a simple posting calendar so we always know what's going out and when
- Write short captions and hashtags to a supplied brief and tone guide
- Send a brief weekly report: what was posted, what performed

You will not be d ---------- brand direction or writing long-form posts. We brief you weekly; you execute.

What we need from you

**Required:**
- Real experience cutting short-form vertical video — TikTok, Reels, or Shorts. Show us.
- Fluent with at least one of: CapCut, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve
- Comfortable posting natively on all five platforms, including scheduling tools
- Written English strong enough to caption for a professional British audience. This matters more than usual — the audience is property investors and business owners, and clumsy copy costs credibility.
- Reliable internet and a machine that can handle video editing
- Available for at least 2 hours of overlap with Dubai time (GST) on weekdays

**Nice to have:**
- Basic graphic design (Canva is fine)
- Any exposure to property, finance, or professional-services content
- Experience with a personal brand rather than a company account

What we're honest about

The footage is not always exciting. Some of it is a man talking to a camera. Your value is finding the ---------- nt that isn't boring and building a clip around it. If you need dramatic source material to make good clips, this role will frustrate you.

We are also picky about tone. Ian is a chartered surveyor with three decades of credibility. Clips must never look cheap, over-edited, or like generic hustle content. No zoom-punch-on-every-word, no stock ---------- audio.

How to apply

Please do not send a generic application. We read every one and we can always tell.

Send us:

1. **Links to 3 short-form clips you personally edited.** Tell us which platform each was for, and what the source footage was.
2. Start your message with the word **BLUEPRINT** so we know you read this far.

We respond to every applicant who follows the instructions above.
