JOB OVERVIEW

ABOUT ME
I'm a UK-based entrepreneur building a personal brand around two things: training in the gym and building businesses in the UK. I already have a large library of raw footage (gym sessions, day-in-the-life, business/behind-the-scenes, talking-to-camera). I need a skilled, reliable editor to turn it into scroll-stopping short-form content every single day.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING
- Going through my raw footage and clipping it into short-form vertical videos (Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts)
- Colour grading every clip so the feed has a consistent, premium, cinematic look
- D ---------- what works best for each clip - original audio, trending audio, voiceover, or music only
- Finding and using trending audios / sounds and current short-form formats in the fitness and business niches
- Creating 10 TRIAL REELS PER DAY (Instagram's trial reels feature) so we can test hooks, formats and audios with non-followers
- Preparing at least 1 polished reel per day for my main account, based on what performs best in trials
- Writing on-screen text hooks, captions and subtitles where needed
- Scheduling / posting content (access will be provided)
- Keeping a simple daily log of what was posted and how it performed

WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR
- Proven experience editing short-form content for Instagram Reels / TikTok - please include a portfolio
- Strong colour grading skills (DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, Final Cut or CapCut Pro)
- A great eye for hooks, pacing, cuts, transitions and retention
- Up to date with social media trends and trending audios
- Understanding of (or interest in) fitness / gym culture and entrepreneurship content
- Fast, consistent and able to hit daily output without chasing
- Good written English and communication
- Reliable internet and a computer capable of handling 4K footage

NICE TO HAVE
- Experience growing a personal brand or creator account
- Knowledge of Instagram trial reels and reading Reels insights
- Basic thumbnail / cover design skills
- Familiarity with UK audiences and humour

HOW TO APPLY
1. Send links to 3-5 short-form videos you've edited (ideally fitness, lifestyle or business content)
2. Tell me which editing and colour grading software you use
3. Tell me your current workload and how many reels you can realistically produce per day
4. Start your application with the word "GRADED" so I know you've read the full post

Shortlisted applicants will be given a paid test: edit and colour grade a set of clips from my raw footage.
