JOB OVERVIEW

We are seeking a creative, dependable Short-Form Video Editor and AI Content Manager to support the personal brand of a prominent Chicago nonprofit executive and the historic work of Chicago Defender Charities.

This is not simply a basic video-cutting position. We need someone who can independently review a large collection of raw videos and photographs, identify the strongest moments and stories, research current social-media trends, and turn the material into polished, engaging content.

Responsibilities:

• Review and organize existing videos, photographs and raw footage
• Identify the best moments without requiring detailed instructions for every video
• Create approximately 4–6 polished videos per week for Instagram Reels, TikTok, Facebook Reels and YouTube Shorts
• Research current viral trends and recommend appropriate ideas
• Recreate AI video trends using supplied photographs and footage
• Add captions, music, hooks, transitions, graphics and tasteful effects
• Repurpose speeches, interviews, travel footage, community events and historical content
• Organize source footage and completed videos in Google Drive
• Prepare captions and content for approval and occasional scheduling
• Maintain a sophisticated, professional style appropriate for a respected public leader and historic Black institution

Required experience:

• Strong portfolio of short-form social-media videos
• Experience using CapCut, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or similar software
• Experience with AI-video tools such as Veo, Google Flow, Sora, Kling, HeyGen, Higgsfield or equivalent
• Strong storytelling judgment and knowledge of hooks, pacing and audience retention
• Excellent written English and reliable communication
• Ability to work independently, meet deadlines and protect confidential materials

How to apply:

1. Send three examples of Reels, TikToks or Shorts you personally edited.
2. Include at least one AI-generated or AI-enhanced video.
3. List the editing and AI tools you currently use.
4. Explain how you would review a large video library and d ---------- what should become content.
5. State how many finished Reels you can reasonably produce each week.

Finalists will be offered a paid trial assignment. The trial will include recreating one current viral AI trend and producing one Reel from supplied raw footage.

Please begin your application with the word “LEGACY” so we know you carefully read the complete description.
