We're looking for an editor with a storyteller's instinct — someone who can take hours of raw footage, transcripts, or a list of rough timestamps and *find the
You'll handle full-length podcast episodes end-to-end, then mine that same raw footage for short-form clips that actually stop the scroll. If you love finding the story hiding inside unedited footage as much as you love a clean audio mix, this is for you.

- Cut short-form content (Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts) from long-form episodes that feels alive, not just trimmed — with editing choices, sound, and motion that add energy

- Tell us a bit about yourself — who you are, your editing background, and what kind of content you love working on
- Send a portfolio or demo reel. We're especially interested in examples where you turned raw, unremarkable footage into a clip that felt genuinely worth watching — show us the
- This role requires a strong grasp of English, including American humor and banter — you'll need to recognize a joke, a sarcastic aside, or comedic timing in raw footage to know it's worth cutting
