Video Editor — Social Media Content (Part-Time, Growing Into Full-Time)

I run a content agency that produces short-form video for clients (think TikTok/Reels/YouTube Shorts style content).

I'm looking for a reliable, detail-oriented video editor to handle the editing for my client work — about 20 videos per month to start, with room to grow as I bring on more clients.

This is a long-term opportunity, not a one-off gig. I'm hiring carefully because I want to build a real working relationship with someone who can grow with the business.

A note on workflow: I schedule filming days with clients, then prep and send footage to you in batches afterward (rather than a steady daily trickle). I'll usually give you a heads up before a batch is coming. From there, I just need the videos turned around within a reasonable time frame.

--- What you'll be editing ---

A mix of short-form video styles, including:

- Talking head + B-roll — educational and informational content
- Voiceover vlog-style content
- B-roll with trendy text overlays and trending audio — fast-paced, social-native edits

You will always be given:

- The full script
- The hook (text + notes on delivery/style)
- A reference Loom fro ---------- showing my exact editing style, pacing, and examples for each content type

You won't be guessing at what I want — I'll show you exactly what "good" looks like before you start.

--- What I'm looking for ---

- Solid experience editing short-form content for social media (TikTok, Reels, Shorts)
- Comfortable with trendy captions/text animations and syncing to trending audio
- Can follow a style guide closely and ask good questions when something's unclear
- Reliable communicator — replies within a reasonable window, flags delays early
- Detail-oriented with pacing, timing, and consistency across a batch of videos
- Experience with CapCut, Premiere Pro, or similar (let me know which you use)

--- Pay and structure ---

- Paid trial first: Before any ongoing commitment, I'll send one real video (script, hook, and reference Loom included) as a paid trial task $15 flat rate. This lets us both confirm fit before committing to ongoing work.
- Ongoing role: Part-time to start (about 25-30 hrs/month based on current volume of 20 videos/client/month), with the rate at about $500/client/month
- Growth potential: As I sign new clients, your hours and pay grow right along with the business — this won't stay capped at 20 videos/month if things keep scaling.
- Long-term potential to grow into more hours/full-time as the agency grows.

--- How to apply ---

Please include:

- A link to 2-3 examples of short-form edits you've done (ideally similar styles to above)
- The software you edit in
- Your availability (hours/week)
- One line on why short-form social content editing is your thing

Looking forward to finding the right long-term fit — not just a one-off editor.
