Short-Form Video Editor (DaVinci Resolve)

We’re looking for a skilled short-form video editor to help us produce high-quality social content. This role is focused on execution, consistency, and quality. You’ll be working with real client footage, clear direction on video topics, and creative freedom to add flare where it fits.

This is not a beginner role. We need someone who is confident in their editing skills, understands pacing and storytelling for short-form content, and can adapt to different client styles based on inspiration and examples we provide.

What you’ll be editing:

• 20–25 short-form videos per month total
• Videos range from 15–60 seconds
• Content is primarily Reels and TikTok-style videos
• Footage may be vertical or horizontal and comes from iPhone, Sony cameras, and DJI drones
• You’ll be given the topic or direction for each video, but you are expected to review footage, find strong moments, and build the edit yourself

What we’re looking for:

• Proven experience editing short-form content for social media (Reels, TikTok, Shorts)
• Strong proficiency in DaVinci Resolve
• Ability to cull footage and make smart creative decisions without needing frame-by-frame direction
• Solid understanding of pacing, hooks, and visual flow for short-form video
• Experience with color correction and basic color grading to achieve a clean, polished look
• Comfortable working with both luxury-style branding and the occasional trend-driven edit•
• Up to date with social media trends and what keeps content engaging, without overdoing it
• Clear and accurate English for on-screen text when used for emphasis in talking-head videos
• Able to adapt quickly to different client styles using inspiration links, reference videos, and examples we provide
• Audio and style notes
• Audio guidelines and trending sounds will be provided
• You are not expected to find trending audio on your own
• Captions and off-screen copy are not required in most cases
• On-screen text should be clean, intentional, and easy to read when used

Workflow expectations:

• Content is typically delivered in batches
• Final edited videos should be delivered within 3 business days of receiving footage
• One revision is standard, though most videos will not require revisions
• You should be comfortable receiving feedback and making quick adjustments when needed

Time commitment
• Approximately 10–12 hours per week
• Work is usually needed 2–3 weeks out of each month

This role is a good fit if

• You take pride in clean, intentional edits
• You can follow direction but don’t need hand-holding
• You care about quality and consistency
• You’re comfortable adapting to different client styles over time
• You want steady, ongoing editing work rather than one-off projects
