Personal Brand Video Editor (Contractor) — Alex Zinni / The Creative Mogul

About This Role

I'm Alex Zinni, founder of Alpha Key Digital and creator of The Creative Mogul. I'm building a personal brand at scale, the kind of presence Alex Hormozi and Seth Godin have, where the content itself becomes the business. I write and perform music, I build ideas in public, and I'm going all-in on YouTube and LinkedIn as the engine.

This is not a role editing content for clients. This is a role editing content for me. You'd be the person turning my raw footage, talks, and ideas into a body of work that compounds, reel after reel, video after video, until the brand is impossible to ignore.

The Role

I'm looking for a contract Video Editor to be the visual engine behind The Creative Mogul. You'll own the full output: scroll-stopping shortform for Reels, TikTok, and Shorts, and polished longform for YouTube. You work directly inside my Slack and Asana so we move fast and nothing slips. This is a craft-forward, high-ownership role for an editor who wants their work seen by a lot of people and wants to help build something from the ground up.

The goal is simple and ambitious: blow this brand up. If that excites you rather than intimidates you, keep reading.

You'd Be a Great Fit If You Were...


Someone who studies creators like Hormozi, MrBeast, and the best of YouTube, and can break down exactly why their videos work
The kind of editor who rewatches a cut ten times to fix one frame, because "good enough" bothers you
Energized by the idea of building a personal brand from small to huge, and wanting to be part of that story
Obsessed with hooks and retention, you think in terms of the first two seconds and the watch-time graph, not just clean cuts
Comfortable owning a deliverable end to end without hand-holding, from raw footage to final export
Reliable to a fault: when you say a video ships Friday, it ships Friday, and it ships clean
A clear communicator who flags problems early in Slack instead of going quiet
Genuinely excited by feedback and iteration, because we'll be testing and refining constantly
Someone who wants volume, this is a high-output brand, and you're the type who thrives on shipping a lot of great work


Key Responsibilities


Edit high-retention shortform video (Reels, TikTok, Shorts) with strong hooks and pacing that holds attention to the end
Produce polished longform YouTube videos that keep viewers watching
Provide full production support: assemble edits, source and cut b-roll, add motion graphics, color grade, and finish audio
Cut talking-head, music, and idea-driven content into content that stops the scroll
Color grade and correct footage to a consistent, premium standard
Design and animate captions, titles, lower thirds, and light motion graphics
Repurpose longform content into multiple shortform clips
Sync all work through Asana, keeping status, deadlines, and deliverables current
Communicate progress, questions, and blockers in Slack in real time
Hold the visual consistency of the brand across every piece
Manage and organize footage, projects, and exports so the latest version is always findable
Turn feedback into better cuts, fast


Qualifications

Required


3+ years of professional video editing experience
Proficiency in Final Cut Pro and DaVinci Resolve
Demonstrated ability to produce high-retention shortform and longform content
Strong color grading skills in DaVinci Resolve
A portfolio or reel showing both shortform and longform work
Reliable high-speed internet and a computer capable of 4K editing and color work
Strong written English for clear Slack and Asana communication


Preferred


Experience editing for a personal brand, creator, or thought leader (vs. only corporate/client work)
Track record of videos that performed well (views, watch time, follower growth)
Motion graphics experience (After Effects or Resolve Fusion)
Familiarity working inside Slack and Asana on a distributed team


Key Skills & Abilities


Exceptional editing eye and sense of pacing
Deep understanding of retention and hooks for social platforms
Color grading and finishing
Motion graphics and titling
Audio cleanup and mixing
Self-management and consistent, on-time delivery
Clear, proactive communication
Ability to take direction and iterate without friction


What I Offer


Monthly retainer (rate based on experience and portfolio)
Flexible schedule, remote, work your own hours as long as deadlines are met
Long-term, ongoing relationship for the right person as the brand grows
Steady, high-volume creative work with real visibility
The chance to help build a personal brand from the early days and grow with it


How to Apply

Apply through this posting and include:


A link to your portfolio or reel showing both shortform and longform work
One or two examples edited in Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve, and a note on which you used
A short note on your DaVinci Resolve color grading experience
One example of a video you edited that performed well, and why you think it worked
Your availability and monthly retainer expectation


Applications without a portfolio link will not be considered.
