FULL-TIME SHORT-FORM VIDEO EDITOR — TikTok Shop
High Volume | 10+ Videos/Day | Long-Term Position
We are looking for an EXPERIENCED short-form video editor to join our team FULL-TIME.
This is NOT an entry-level editing position.
We produce a high volume of TikTok Shop content and need an editor who is FAST, creative, reliable, and already understands how modern TikTok/Reels/Shorts content should be edited.
If you're still learning how to edit short-form content, please do not apply.
WHAT YOU'LL BE EDITING
Our raw videos are typically 3–8 minutes long.
You will turn that footage into polished, engaging TikTok Shop videos, generally around 30–90 seconds depending on the content.
We will provide:
✓ Raw talking-head/product footage
✓ Product B-roll
✓ Overlays
✓ Product images/assets when needed
✓ Examples/reference videos when appropriate
You will NOT normally need to spend hours searching the internet for B-roll.
Your job is to take the assets we provide and turn them into fast-paced, high-retention TikTok Shop videos.
EXPECTED OUTPUT
Our target is approximately:
8–10+ FINISHED SHORT-FORM VIDEOS PER DAY
Some edits will be extremely simple.
Others will require more editing, B-roll, captions, overlays, graphics, sound effects, punch-ins, etc.
We understand that not every video requires the same amount of work.
However, SPEED MATTERS A LOT in this position.
We are NOT looking for someone who takes 3–4 hours to edit one 45-second TikTok.
We need an editor who understands how to produce QUALITY AT VOLUME.
YOU SHOULD ALREADY KNOW HOW TO:
✓ Identify the strongest hook
✓ Cut unnecessary dialogue and dead space
✓ Tighten a 3–8 minute raw recording into a strong short-form video
✓ Create fast, natural pacing
✓ Add clean captions
✓ Use punch-ins / zooms appropriately
✓ Add B-roll and overlays at the right moments
✓ Add music and sound effects when appropriate
✓ Use pattern interrupts without OVER-editing
✓ Keep the viewer visually engaged
✓ Understand TikTok/Reels/Shorts pacing
✓ Make videos feel NATIVE to TikTok instead of looking like corporate advertisements
Experience editing TikTok Shop, UGC, e-commerce or direct-response content is HIGHLY preferred.
EDITING SOFTWARE
We DON'T CARE what editing software you use.
Premiere Pro, CapCut, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, etc. are all acceptable.
We care about the RESULT.
If your videos are great and you can produce them quickly, use whatever makes you fastest.
WHO WE WANT
We are looking for someone who:
✓ Is an experienced SHORT-FORM editor
✓ Is FAST
✓ Has strong creative instincts
✓ Understands spoken English extremely well
✓ Can determine what should be CUT from a video
✓ Can follow instructions
✓ Can recreate an editing style from a reference
✓ Pays attention to details
✓ Communicates well
✓ Meets deadlines
✓ Doesn't disappear
✓ Doesn't need to be constantly reminded about assignments
✓ Handles feedback professionally
✓ Wants consistent, long-term work
Our goal is to find someone who eventually knows our editing style so well that we can send you footage and trust you to handle the rest.
HOW TO APPLY
We receive A LOT of applications.
If you don't follow these instructions, your application will automatically be skipped.
Start your application with:
"I'M YOUR SHORTS EDITOR"
Then answer ALL 7 questions:

4. Have you edited TikTok Shop, UGC, e-commerce or direct-response videos before? Briefly explain.

6. What computer do you edit on? Please include RAM and basic specs.
7. Are you currently working for any other clients/employers? If yes, approximately how many hours per week?
PORTFOLIO REQUIRED
Send us links to your:
3 BEST SHORT-FORM VIDEOS
NOT 20.
NOT your entire Google Drive.
NOT a giant portfolio and tell us to look through it.
Pick your THREE BEST.
We specifically want to see examples demonstrating:
• Talking-head editing
• TikTok/Reels/Shorts pacing
• UGC/e-commerce/TikTok Shop content
• Captions and visual storytelling
• Strong pacing and retention
If possible, include at least one example where you personally took longer raw footage and turned it into the final short-form video.

Someone who understands what to cut, what to keep, how to maintain attention, and how to make short-form content perform.
If that's you, we'd love to see your work.
