Instagram Reels Editor - Business Building (2 Founders, 4 Reels/Week)

Job Description: I'm looking for a skilled video editor who specializes in Instagram Reels to produce content for two founders on an ongoing basis. Volume & Commitment - 2 Reels per week per founder = 4 Reels per week total - Ongoing, long-term engagement - Consistent weekly cadence (we'll set fixed delivery days) About Us & Content Vision We're building Workflows - and we're documenting the journey publicly. On LinkedIn we post technical, in-the-weeds content. But on Instagram, we want something completely different. The vision for our Reels is a mix of three worlds: 1. Luxury lifestyle - the aspirational visuals, the aesthetic, the energy 2. Travel - cinematic shots from cities, hotels, scenes around the world 3. Business building - the real, raw founder journey behind it all Inspirations (study these accounts): - Daniel Dalen - Iman Gadzhi - Maurits - Plus the 5 reference Reels below Style Reference - https://www.instagram.com/reels/DYYqoy6zqDu/ - https://www.instagram.com/reels/DEGbxv5BNiY/ - https://www.instagram.com/reels/DU0SDIXjI4A/ - https://www.instagram.com/reels/DSH5qelDzxd/ - https://www.instagram.com/reels/DYUruYZtyVe/ Please study these (and the inspiration accounts) before applying. If you can't replicate this style, this role isn't for you. Who You'll Be Editing For 1. Fivos Aresti - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/fivosaresti/ - Already active on LinkedIn (technical/GTM content) - Expanding into YouTube and Instagram Reels 2. Dan Rosenthal - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dan_xrose/ - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/dan-m-rosenthal - Established IG presence, scaling output Both of us are co-building Workflows. The IG content is the human, aspirational side of that story. What You'll Be Working With - Personal b-roll footage library: https://f.io/MUuUPPux - Stock b-roll (photos/clips) provided on request via Google Drive Workflow / Approval Process Before you start editing, I need sign-off on three things in this order: 1. Song selection 2. Scene breakdown 3. Concept / narrative direction Once those 3 are approved, you go ahead and edit. This saves us both time and revisions. Who You Are - You live and breathe IG Reels - you know what hooks, what retains, what drops off - You understand beat-matching, jump cuts, transitions, and cinematic pacing - You "get" the luxury/founder aesthetic - Daniel Dalen, Iman Gadzhi, Maurits style is your bread and butter - You can adapt your editing voice across 2 different creators - You can handle a steady 4 Reels/week without quality drop - You're proactive: if you have a concept idea, pitch it To Apply 1. Send me 2-3 Reels you've edited that match (or come close to) the reference style above 2. Tell me your rate per Reel or hourly rate 3. Tell me your typical turnaround time from concept-approval to first cut 4. Start your application with the word "REELS" so I know you read this Looking forward to working with the right person.
