JOB OVERVIEW

Video Editor - Short Form + VSL/Long Form (Part Time with Fast Track to Full Time)

We are Hive Marketing, a performance-driven agency helping service-based businesses dominate their local markets through organic social content, paid ads, and high-converting funnels. We produce content for multiple clients across various industries and are rapidly scaling our video output across platforms.

We are looking for a skilled, versatile Video Editor who can handle BOTH short form content (Reels, TikTok, Shorts) AND longer form projects like VSLs (Video Sales Letters), client testimonial videos, and promotional long-form content. This is not a basic editing role. We need someone who understands pacing, storytelling, and direct response marketing principles.

This role starts part time with the intention to transition into full time as we continue to scale.

COMPENSATION

$25 USD per completed video. You can expect 30 edits per week to start, with consistent volume as we grow. High performers will be given priority on projects and the opportunity to move to full time.

WHAT YOU WILL BE EDITING

Short Form (60-90 second videos):
- Talking head content for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts
- Lifestyle, product, behind the scenes, and creative branded content
- Trend-driven content with fast pacing, sound effects, music, captions, and B roll

Long Form / VSL (2-15+ minute videos):
- Video Sales Letters for landing pages and ad funnels
- Client testimonial and case study videos
- Educational or explainer content for YouTube or paid campaigns
- Webinar clips, training recaps, and promotional highlight reels

REQUIRED SOFTWARE PROFICIENCY

- Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve (primary editing software, must be highly proficient)
- After Effects (for motion graphics, lower thirds, transitions) is a strong plus
- CapCut Pro for PC is a plus for quick short form edits

REQUIRED EXPERIENCE AND SKILLS

- Minimum 2 years of professional video editing experience (portfolio/reel required)
- Proven experience editing BOTH short form social content AND longer form videos (VSLs, sales videos, testimonials, or similar)
- Strong understanding of pacing, storytelling, and visual flow for both short and long formats
- Experience with direct response or marketing video content is highly preferred
- Ability to add compelling captions, text overlays, sound design, music, and B roll
- Familiarity with brand guidelines and the ability to match tone/messaging across multiple businesses

IDEAL CANDIDATE TRAITS

- Strong English and communication skills (you will be communicating with our team daily)
- Proactive and detail-oriented, not just following instructions but bringing creative ideas to the table
- Fast turnaround: short form edits delivered within 24 hours, longer form within 48 hours
- Consistent, reliable, and organized. We need someone we can count on every single day
- Positive attitude, coachable, and open to feedback
- Willing to learn about our local industries and markets (Salt Lake City, Utah and surrounding areas)

QUALITY STANDARDS

Examples of the short form quality we expect:
---------- /reel/C1OoPa4uakb/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
---------- /p/DRQJI8Lk2C5/

Only apply if you can produce content at or above this level for short form, and have samples of longer form/VSL work to share as well.

HOW TO APPLY

To be considered, your application MUST include:

1. A link to your portfolio or reel showing BOTH short form and long form/VSL editing samples
2. A brief description (2-3 sentences) of your experience with direct response or marketing videos
3. What editing software you primarily use and your level of proficiency
4. Your typical turnaround time for a 60-second Reel vs. a 5-minute VSL

We will select up to 5 applicants for a paid test edit and choose the best fit to join our team.

Please do not use AI language to apply. We want to hear from YOU.

Thank you.
