Video Editor

Who This Role Is For:
We are looking for a Video Editor with a strong foundation in editing.

This is not for beginners using templates or people whose main experience is social media management.

This role is for someone who understands what real video editing involves.
A strong candidate already knows how to:
Control pacing and remove dead space
Make the first few seconds of a video engaging
Cut content in a clean and intentional way
Structure a video so the message is clear and easy to follow
Add captions that are readable, well-timed, and not distracting
Keep edits simple, polished, and professional
Understand what to include and what to leave out
Maintain consistency across all videos
You should also understand how short-form content performs on platforms like Instagram and TikTok, and how to apply trends in a subtle and controlled way, without over-editing or making content look flashy.

Additional Desired Skill
It is a strong plus if you have some understanding of Graphic Design and branding.
This includes:
Creating simple, clean visuals
Working with brand colors, fonts, and layout
Supporting video content with cohesive design

Style & Brand Expectations
Our brand style is professional, elegant, and modern.
We do incorporate social media trends, but only when they align with our brand.
The goal is to stay current and engaging while maintaining a refined and consistent visual identity.
We are not looking for over-edited or flashy content.
We value clean visuals, strong pacing, and subtle use of trends that enhance the message without distracting from it.

The right candidate knows how to:
Keep edits clean and intentional
Adapt trends in a subtle, polished way
Maintain consistency across all content
Balance engagement with a refined, professional look


Portfolio / Sample Requirement (Important)
Please include examples of videos you personally edited.
We review portfolios carefully and are only looking for original work.
If you submit work that is not yours or shared portfolios used by multiple applicants, your application will not be considered.

For Candidates Without Client Experience
If you don’t have client work, that’s completely okay.
You can:
Submit personal or practice projects
Or create a short 10–15 second sample that reflects your style
We recommend using inspiration from current Instagram trends while keeping the style:
Clean
Elegant
Modern
We care more about your taste, effort, and execution than past experience.

If You Don’t Have a Portfolio:
If you believe you have strong editing skills and knowledge, but don’t have work to show yet, you can request a me test task to edit a 1-minute video. We will provide a 3-minute raw video.
To do this, send me a short message explaining:
Your experience (even if self-taught)
What type of editing have you been practicing
What video editing tools do you like
Why do you believe you’re a strong fit
We will only send a test task to candidates who show strong potential.

Important
This is not a social media manager role.
We are not looking for someone to create content ideas, manage accounts, or write posts.
If your experience is primarily in social media management, this likely isn't the right fit.
