About the Role
We’re looking for a talented and reliable short-form video editor to help turn raw UGC footage into engaging, high-performing 10 second videos.
The ideal editor understands what makes content feel native to TikTok, Instagram Reels, and other short-form platforms. You should have a strong sense of pacing, storytelling, hooks, captions, and visual retention — while keeping the content authentic rather than overly produced.
We are looking to pay $3 usd per 10 second video. But we are looking for someone who can edit at least 10 videos a day.

This role will involve editing UGC videos for brand deals, paid advertisements, and organic social content across a variety of products and niches.

Responsibilities
Edit short-form UGC videos primarily for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts
Turn raw creator footage into polished, engaging 10 second videos
Create strong hooks within the first 1–3 seconds
Cut footage for pacing, retention, and clarity
Add engaging captions, text overlays, emojis, zooms, transitions, B-roll, and sound effects where appropriate
Incorporate product shots, screenshots, graphics, and other supporting visuals
Clean up and enhance voiceover/audio quality
Add music and sound effects that complement the content without overpowering the creator
Create multiple variations of videos when needed for testing different hooks, CTAs, or edits
Follow brand guidelines while maintaining a natural, authentic UGC feel
Source appropriate B-roll or supporting assets when necessary
Consistently deliver polished edits within agreed-upon deadlines
Collaborate on creative direction and suggest improvements to hooks, pacing, and overall video structure
Requirements
Proven experience editing TikTok, Reels, Shorts, or UGC advertisements
Portfolio demonstrating strong short-form editing
Strong understanding of hooks, pacing, retention, and social-media trends
Ability to make raw footage feel engaging without making it look overly edited
Experience with captions, text animation, B-roll, sound effects, and visual effects
Proficiency in CapCut, Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or similar software
Strong attention to detail
Ability to take feedback and make revisions quickly
Reliable communication and consistent turnaround times
Ability to work independently and meet deadlines
Bonus Points

Your edits should feel:

Fast-paced but not chaotic
Native to TikTok/Reels
Authentic and relatable
Visually engaging
Easy to follow
Focused on the product/message
Designed to maintain viewer attention
Please apply with your portfolio and 3–5 examples of your best short-form/UGC edits. Preference will be given to editors who can demonstrate experience with UGC ads or performance-driven short-form content.
