JOB OVERVIEW

Signature Media is a fast-growing content and marketing company working with entrepreneurs and service-based businesses to build their brands through social media.

We manage a large and growing volume of content every month, primarily short-form videos for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and other social platforms.

We’re looking for a reliable, creative, and fast Video Editor who wants a long-term position with our team. This is not a one-time freelance project. As our company and client roster continue to grow, there will be plenty of opportunity to take on more work, responsibility, and income.

What You’ll Be Editing
Most projects will include:
- Short-form talking-head videos and Reels
- Captions/subtitles and motion graphics
- B-roll and visual elements that help tell the story
- Real estate, business, lifestyle, and personal-brand content
- Occasionally more creative, story-driven videos
- Potential opportunities to edit long-form YouTube content

What We’re Looking For
We care about more than knowing how to use editing software. You should understand what makes social media content engaging.

You should be able to take raw footage and understand where to cut, when to add B-roll, how to pace a video, and how to keep the viewer's attention without needing step-by-step instructions for every edit.

We’re specifically looking for someone who is:
- Fast and reliable — turnaround time is extremely important.
- Consistent — we manage a high volume of content and need someone we can depend on every week.
- Creative — you should be able to make creative decisions instead of simply following a template.
- Detail-oriented — clean captions, audio, pacing, framing, graphics, etc.
- Good at following direction — every client has a different brand and editing style.
- Communicative — if something is delayed or unclear, we expect proactive communication.
- Interested in growing with a company long-term.

Opportunity for Growth
This is especially important: we are not looking for someone to edit a handful of videos and disappear.

We manage a significant amount of monthly content, and that volume continues to grow. Someone who proves they are fast, dependable, and talented will have the opportunity to receive consistent work and significantly more volume over time.
There is also potential to grow beyond simply editing videos as our post-production team expands.

How to Apply
Please send:
1. Your portfolio or 3–5 examples of your best short-form edits.
2. What editing software you primarily use.
3. Your typical turnaround time for a 30–60 second talking-head Reel.
4. How many short-form videos you can realistically edit per week.
5. Your current availability.
Important: Please DO NOT apply if you are currently overloaded with clients and cannot consistently meet deadlines. Speed, communication, and reliability are just as important to us as editing quality.
Selected applicants will be invited to complete a paid test edit before moving forward with ongoing work.
