About us
We're Icon Tattoo, a high-end realism tattoo studio in New York. Our brand is built on mastery, precision, and a clean, cinematic look. We post talking-head Reels and behind-the-scenes content, and we need a dedicated editor to own the edit so our founder can stay in front of the camera instead of behind the screen.
What you'll do
You'll take raw, self-shot footage — often filmed alone, with multiple takes of the same line and several topics in one file — and turn it into finished vertical Reels. We'll mark our keeper takes and give you short written direction per video. Your job is to find the marked takes, cut the rambles and dead air, and assemble a tight, punchy Reel that follows our style guide (we'll give you a written Edit Spec covering hook timing, caption style, and pacing). Clean white captions, no busy graphics. One strong point per Reel.
You must be great at
Short-form / vertical editing (Reels, TikTok) — fast hooks, clean pacing, retention
Accurate, clean burned-in captions (white, easy to read)
Working from footage in Google Drive and organizing your exports back into it
Following a written style guide precisely and getting it right with minimal revisions
Working from marked selects and light notes, not needing hand-holding
Nice to have
Experience editing for personal brands, coaches, or creators
Basic color correction / matching
Comfort with Descript, CapCut, or Premiere Pro
Not a fit if: your portfolio is mostly weddings, corporate, or long-form YouTube. We need snappy short-form.
How to apply — read carefully, this is how we filter:
Start your message with the word GOLD so we know you read the whole post.
Send 3 links to short-form vertical videos you personally edited (Reels/TikToks, not a demo reel).
Tell us what software you edit in and your typical turnaround for one 30-second Reel.
One line: what's your internet speed and can you handle large 4K files?
Shortlisted applicants get a small paid test edit (one real file + our Edit Spec) before any ongoing work
