HIGH-VOLUME SHORT-FORM VIDEO EDITOR / CLIPPER — FULL TIME Full-Time Position Jason Watson / Build The Man JOB OVERVIEW We’re looking for a full-time, high-volume Short-Form Video Editor / Clipper to join our media team. This is NOT a position where we hand you every clip, hook, and edit decision. We need someone who understands content. You should be able to watch podcasts, coaching calls, talking-head videos, interviews, and long-form content and identify the moments that can become great short-form videos. You need to understand: What makes someone stop scrolling? What makes someone keep watching? What makes a clip worth posting? Our goal is to produce a high volume of quality short-form content every week across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook. We move FAST, and we need someone who can keep up. WHAT YOU’LL DO * Clip long-form content into short-form videos * Find strong hooks without always being told where they are * Edit a high volume of videos every week * Turn podcasts, coaching calls, interviews, and raw footage into engaging content * Create clean captions, pacing, B-roll, music, graphics, and visual hooks when needed * Understand when an edit needs more and when it should stay simple * Help identify strong topics and content angles * Organize projects and footage * Handle revisions quickly * Hit deadlines consistently * Work directly with our media team to improve content every week WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR We want someone who already lives and breathes social media. You should understand: * Hooks * Retention * Storytelling * Pacing * Short-form content * Viral formats * Personal brands * Entrepreneurship content * Fitness content * Coaching / education content You should be able to look at a 60-minute conversation and recognize the 10 seconds that could get millions of views. You should understand why one clip works and another doesn’t. YOU’RE A GREAT FIT IF: * You’re fast * You’re extremely responsive * You can handle high volume * You take feedback well * You don’t need constant hand-holding * You’re organized * You pay attention to details * You actively study social media * You understand entrepreneurship and personal-brand content * You can match an established editing style * You want to improve every week * You care about the performance of the content, not just making it look good THIS IS NOT FOR YOU IF: * You only care about flashy editing * You need every clip handed to you * You don’t understand hooks * You don’t actively consume short-form content * You struggle with fast deadlines * You disappear for hours when the team needs you * You take revisions personally * You prioritize perfect edits over getting great content out consistently * You’re looking for a slow-paced editing job ABOUT THE CONTENT You’ll be editing content for entrepreneur and coach Jason Watson / Build The Man. Our content focuses heavily on: Fitness. Business. Money. Discipline. Entrepreneurship. Leadership. Brotherhood. Becoming a better man. Our audience is primarily men 35+, business owners, entrepreneurs, and high performers. The editing needs to feel clean, masculine, modern, direct, and premium. Not over-edited. The story and message always come first. TO APPLY Please send: 1. Your portfolio 2. Your 3 best short-form edits 3. Examples of talking-head, podcast, or coaching content you’ve clipped 4. Your current availability 5. The editing software you use And answer this question: If we gave you a 60-minute podcast with no timestamps, how would you decide which moments should become short-form videos? We’re specifically looking for someone who can find the content AND edit the content. Generic applications will not be considered. This is a full-time position with the opportunity to grow with our media team long-term.
