JOB OVERVIEW

I’m looking for a creative, dependable short-form video editor who wants to become a consistent part of a growing team.

This is an ongoing role, not a one-time editing project.

I create educational, beauty, fashion, speaking, behind-the-scenes and business content. I need an editor who can take raw footage and turn it into strong, polished short-form content for Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts and other social platforms.

I’m looking for someone who actually edits.

This is not the right role for someone whose entire editing process is dropping footage into a CapCut template, adding trending effects and calling it finished.

You should understand storytelling, pacing, hooks, retention and how to d ---------- what actually needs to stay in a video.

Editing may include:

Talking-head videos

Educational videos

Beauty and hairstyling content

Fashion and event footage

Behind-the-scenes content

Promotional and launch videos

Client and brand partnership content

Before-and-after or transformation videos

Repurposing longer footage into short-form content

Adding B-roll, images, screenshots or supporting visuals when they strengthen the story

Adding clean captions and on-screen text

Creating both vertical and horizontal versions when needed

I’m looking for someone who can:

Find the strongest hook in raw footage

Know what to cut without removing the personality or point of the video

Create strong pacing without making every video feel frantic

Understand when a simple edit is stronger than a heavily edited one

Use B-roll and supporting visuals intentionally

Create clean, readable captions

Follow brand fonts, colors and visual guidelines

Follow detailed editing instructions accurately

Catch spelling errors, names, dates, URLs and other details

Organize project files and final exports properly

Meet agreed-upon deadlines

Communicate early if footage, instructions or timing create a problem

Take feedback and make revisions accurately

Learn my editing preferences so I do not have to give the same corrections repeatedly

Become increasingly independent as you learn the brand and content

Creative ideas are welcome.

If you see a stronger hook, a better way to structure the video, a moment that should become its own Reel or another idea that could improve the content, tell me.

I want someone who thinks.

But if I request something a specific way, please complete what I requested first. You can then show or suggest the alternative you believe is stronger.

AI can be used as a supporting tool, but you cannot rely on AI to make the creative decisions for you.

I need an editor who can watch footage, understand what is being said, identify the story and make editing decisions themselves.

I also do not want every video overloaded with transitions, sound effects, zooms, filters or graphics. The editing should support the content, not compete with it.

Most importantly, I’m looking for consistency.

I want someone who genuinely wants the job, wants to learn the brand and wants to become part of the team.

I’m looking for someone dependable who communicates consistently, takes ownership of their work and is interested in an ongoing working relationship — not someone who disappears after a few projects or is constantly looking for the next gig.

The workload may vary from week to week, with opportunities for additional work during launches, Fashion Week, events, campaigns and other busy periods.

Finalists will complete a paid editing test using the type of footage they would actually work with.

To apply, please send:

Your portfolio or editing reel

3 to 5 examples of short-form videos you personally edited

Examples of talking-head content, if available

Examples that show storytelling and pacing, not only effects

What software you primarily edit in

Your typical turnaround time for a short-form video

Your current availability

Approximately how many short-form videos you can realistically edit per week

A short explanation of your editing process

Why you are interested in an ongoing team role rather than only one-off freelance projects

Please also tell me specifically what parts of the sample videos you edited yourself.

Use the word Tan in your subject line so I know you read the full post.

Please do not apply with a portfolio made primarily from templates, AI-generated edits or videos where it is unclear what work you personally completed.
