Part-Time Video Editor (Strategic + Creative) – Flexible Hours

I’m looking for a creative video editor who understands marketing strategy and engagement, not just technical editing.

This is a flexible, part-time role (a few hours per week or a handful of hours per month depending on workload). Hours may vary. We can discuss a regular schedule or set hours per month.

Primary Focus:
Combine longer videos into polished final cuts
Cut long-form content into short, high-engagement social clips
Create stylized clips for Instagram, Facebook, Reels, etc.
Add captions, music, transitions, motion graphics
Source royalty-free music that matches tone and brand

Secondary Projects:
Create short-form social content using static photos (animated text, movement, stylized transitions)
Occasionally suggest creative approaches to improve performance

I will provide the raw videos or photos.
You will handle editing, pacing, hooks, and music selection.

What I’m Looking For:
Strong video editing skills
Experience editing for social media
Understanding of hooks, retention, and engagement
Ability to take minimal direction and run with it creatively
Good communication
Reliable turnaround times
Organized workflow
Software does not matter. You just need to deliver finalized, ready-to-post files.

Important! I do not want someone who only edits technically.

I want someone who understands:
How to grab attention in the first 3 seconds
How to structure clips for retention
How to pace content for social platforms
How to create engaging captions and text overlays

If you do not understand marketing strategy, this is not the right role.

Details
Pay: Varies based on experience
Location: Remote
