JOB OVERVIEW

A company in the South Asian luxury fashion industry is looking for a creative and story-driven short-form video editor to join the team. This is a remote, part-time role working closely with a NYC-based founder and designer. If you have a strong creative instinct, a cinematic eye, and a deep understanding of what makes short-form content stop a scroll, we want to hear from you.

This is not a generic influencer editing role. We are looking for someone who understands pacing, emotion, sound, and framing, and who can transform simple, low-fi footage into something that feels elevated and intentional. The aesthetic we are going for is cinematic, feminine, whimsical, emotional, and occasionally intense. Think the contrast between calm visuals and sharp pacing, between ordinary footage and unexpected creative decisions, between chaos and sudden stillness.

Creative instinct matters more than technical complexity here.


RESPONSIBILITIES

- Edit 3 to 4 short-form videos per week optimized for TikTok and similar platforms
- Create cinematic, Gen Z-style edits that prioritize storytelling over polish
- Apply creative typography, framing, zooms, transitions, and pacing to elevate footage
- Build strong sound design using music, silence, effects, and precise audio cuts
- Source additional footage when needed to complete the story
- Make independent creative decisions that enhance the narrative rather than follow a template
- Work directly with scripts, voiceovers, and music provided to you
- Handle all aspects of the edit including text, colour, framing, and pacing


QUALIFICATIONS

- Proven experience editing short-form video content, particularly for TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts
- A portfolio that demonstrates strong storytelling, pacing, and aesthetic sensibility
- Ability to work with simple, unpolished iPhone footage and elevate it through editing choices
- Strong understanding of sound design and how audio shapes emotion and rhythm
- Familiarity with the Gen Z / TikTok visual language without defaulting to generic trends
- Ability to take creative ownership rather than waiting to be told what to do
- Experience in fashion, lifestyle, or luxury content is a strong plus
- Comfortable working remotely and independently on a consistent weekly schedule
- Reliable communication and ability to meet turnaround expectations


WHAT WE PROVIDE

- Scripts and voiceover
- Music selections
- Most of the primary footage

You will handle everything from there, including editing, sound design, text, framing, colour grading, pacing, and sourcing any additional footage needed.


SCHEDULE

- Remote position
- 12 to 16 hours per week
- CST schedule
- Long-term opportunity
- Starting soon


HOW TO APPLY

Please submit the following:

- Updated Resume
- Introduction Audio (Vacaroo is fine)
- Updated Portfolio

Note: This role requires a specific aesthetic sensibility. Please make sure your portfolio reflects cinematic, story-driven, or emotionally expressive work. Generic or template-based edits will not be considered.
