ABOUT THE ROLE
We are a real estate company that produces long-form video content across education, investment, faith and land development topics. We need a short-form editor who can take that long-form content and clip it into high-performing short-form videos for Reels, Shorts, and social platforms. Occasionally you will also create variations of existing short-form clips for use as ads.
This is a high-volume, ongoing role. If your edits perform, there's consistent work and performance bonuses on top of your per-video rate.

SCOPE
Short-form videos between 30 and 180 seconds, repurposed from long-form source content. Up to 25 videos per week, capped at 100 per month. Each video must be fully platform-ready on delivery — no open loops.
Primary: Clipping and editing short-form content from long-form recordings
Secondary: Creating ad variations from existing short-form clips

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IN EVERY EDIT
- Hook mastery — you can identify the strongest moments in a long-form video and know how to open with a visual hook, text hook, and audio hook that stops the scroll in the first 2–3 seconds
- Body retention — the middle holds attention as well as the opening; pacing, pattern interrupts, and visual momentum throughout
- Smooth call to action — the CTA feels like a natural close, not a hard sell bolted on at the end
- Effective audio — music and sound design that reinforces the message and energy without overpowering it; aligned with brand, not exaggerated
- Brand alignment — every clip should feel like it belongs to the same family of content; consistent tone, text style, and visual rhythm
- Platform awareness — you know what works on Reels vs. Shorts and can optimize accordingly without being told
