JOB OVERVIEW

I’m looking for a talented, creative video editor to help build a personal content brand across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram Reels, and Shorts.

This is NOT a basic video editing job.

I need someone who can watch raw footage, understand what is happening, identify the strongest moments, find the story, and turn that footage into content people actually want to watch.

The series starts with me unexpectedly losing a nearly $200K/year job in Los Angeles and documenting what happens next rebuilding my career, interviewing for new jobs, changing my lifestyle and spending, fitness, business ideas, travel, relationships, and everyday life.

There will be a lot of raw footage.

I do NOT want to send you timestamps and tell you every single cut to make.

I want an editor who can watch the footage and think:

“This should be the hook.”

“This part is funny.”

“This section is dragging.”

“This moment could become a TikTok.”

“This story should be structured differently.”

“This needs music, B-roll, captions, or a stronger payoff.”

You should have strong instincts for storytelling, pacing, humor, emotion, and audience retention.

### What You’ll Be Doing

* Editing long-form YouTube episodes
* Creating TikToks, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts from the same footage
* Watching raw footage and identifying the strongest moments
* Finding hooks and storylines without needing exact timestamps
* Removing boring or unnecessary sections
* Creating strong pacing and flow
* Adding music, sound design, captions, graphics, zooms, B-roll, and visual elements when appropriate
* Creating short-form videos that feel like complete pieces of content, not random clips
* Helping identify which moments have the strongest viral or storytelling potential
* Working with me consistently as more footage is created

### What I’m Looking For

I care much more about your creative judgment than fancy transitions.

You should understand:

* YouTube storytelling
* Short-form retention
* Hooks
* Pacing
* Comedy timing
* Emotional storytelling
* Sound design
* Music selection
* Captions and graphics
* How to make personality-driven content feel polished without making it feel fake

Experience editing creator, documentary, lifestyle, reality-style, vlog, or personality-driven content is a major plus.

### Long-Term Opportunity

I’m looking for someone who can eventually become my primary editor and work with me consistently.

This is not just one video.

The goal is to create an ongoing stream of long-form and short-form content.

As the channel grows, I want the editor to grow with it.

### How to Apply

Please send ONLY your 2–4 best examples of work.

I especially want to see:

* Long-form storytelling
* TikToks / Reels / Shorts
* Creator or personality-driven content

Please also answer these questions:
