Video Editor for High-Authority Short-Form Content (SMMA)

We are looking for a video editor to edit short form social media videos for an authority-building brand. We focus on educational content, pain points, proof content, and personality content. Your job isn't just to cut clips; it's to maintain retention, tell a story and build trust through the edit.

$20.00/video. 7 videos/week to start.

We are seeking a long-term creative partner to grow with our agency. While we are starting with 30 videos per month, we are scaling quickly; for the right candidate, there is significant opportunity to increase your volume and take on a leadership role as our production needs expand.

What we're looking for:
- Mastery of "Pattern Interrupts" (zooms, graphics, motion graphics, b-roll, and text overlays that keep attention).
- Understanding of effective pacing for story telling, emphasis and retention
- Clean and purposeful aesthetic
- Reliability (must meet all deadlines)

Requirements:
- Portfolio of short-form work (Reels/TikTok/Shorts).
- Ability to follow a detailed SOP.
- At least 2 years experience with short form social media video editing for brands

Send your portfolio and answer these questions:
- What is the most important element of a video's first 3 seconds to ensure someone doesn't scroll away?
- What video retention elements would you include when editing an "authority building" talking head style video.

To show us that you actually read this, please start your application with the word 'AUTHORITY' in the subject line.

We look forward to hearing from you.
