JOB OVERVIEW

SHORT-FORM VIDEO EDITOR (RETENTION-FOCUSED)
Health & Wellness Brand | Part-Time → Long-Term | Remote

ABOUT US
We're a US health and wellness brand building one of the biggest short-form accounts in hormones, weight loss, and longevity. Our founder films 10+ talking-head reels a week. We need an editor who makes them impossible to scroll past, not just someone who cuts them.

WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Edit about 10 talking-head reels per week (30–60 seconds) from raw footage and a short brief
- Restructure when needed: move the strongest line to the start, cut dead air hard, reorder the talk if it flows better
- Build retention: a visual change every 2–3 seconds (zooms, B-roll, graphics), an on-screen text hook, and clean designed captions
- Cut 4 hook variants per week: new openings on our past reels, and tell us which ones you'd try
- Send 1–2 honest notes with every batch (for example "take 2 was stronger, here's why" or "this story is too long for 40 seconds")
- Review our weekly performance numbers from our analyst and adjust your edits based on what's working
- Deliver on time, with subtitle files (.srt) and clean file naming in Google Drive

TURNAROUND
Within 48 hours of receiving footage.

REQUIREMENTS
- 2+ years editing short-form video (Reels, TikTok, Shorts)
- Premiere Pro, CapCut, or DaVinci Resolve
- Portfolio with view counts or retention results
- English strong enough to follow spoken content and give clear notes
- Bonus: talking-head, podcast-clip, or health/fitness content experience

IMPORTANT
We're a health brand, so all on-screen text and captions are approved by us before posting. Never add claims, stats, or text that isn't in the brief.

HOW TO APPLY
1. Write "RETENTION" as the first word of your application.
2. Send 3 short-form videos you edited, with their views or retention.
3. Pick one of them and tell us what you changed and why.
4. Watch this reel of ours: [link]. Tell us the first thing you'd fix.
Applications without all four will not be reviewed.
