Daily Short-Form Video Editor (2–3 Videos/Day) — Match Our Exact Style
Worldwide
We produce founder-led, talking-head short-form video (thought-leadership content for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok, and Facebook) and we're looking for a precise, reliable editor to join our workflow on an ongoing basis. This is a monthly retainer role, not hourly. You're paid a fixed monthly amount for an agreed output, not for hours logged. We need 2–3 finished short-form videos per day, consistently, so please only apply if you can genuinely sustain that pace day in, day out, at a high standard. Reliability and consistent daily availability matter as much as skill. The second thing to understand: we already have an established style, and we need it matched exactly. This is not a creative-reinvention brief. It's a precision brief. Consistency with our existing content is the whole job. The trial: Before the retainer begins, we ask for one short trial edit. We'll provide raw footage and reference videos from our existing channel. Your task is to produce one short-form clip that matches that reference precisely. We'll evaluate it on one criterion: does it look like it belongs on the channel? That means matching, exactly: Caption font, weight, size, color, and outline treatment Caption alignment, placement, and spacing on screen Caption timing and pacing with the speech Cut rhythm and edit style Framing, cropping, and any color treatment If the trial matches our style, we move into the ongoing monthly retainer at 2–3 videos/day. You're a strong fit if you have: 3+ years editing short-form social video, ideally founder or personal-brand / thought-leadership content Proven capacity to deliver 2–3 short-form videos per day without quality dropping Expert command of Premiere Pro or Final Cut A sharp eye for caption typography and kinetic text (this is where most editors fall short) The discipline to match an existing style rather than impose your own Fluent English, for accurate captions and timing Fast, dependable turnaround and consistent daily availability Nice to have: Experience cutting podcast footage into short clips (likely future scope) To apply, please include: A portfolio or reel of short-form, caption-heavy talking-head work Confirmation you can sustain 2–3 finished videos per day on a monthly retainer, and the hours you're available Your expected monthly retainer rate for this volume The tools you edit in One example where you had to match an existing brand's caption and edit style (link it) Applications without a relevant short-form portfolio, or without confirming daily capacity, won't be considered.
