Instagram Reels / Tiktok / Shorts Video Editor
Worldwide
About This Role: I am looking for a talented and self sufficient short form content editor to join my team on a per batch basis with the potential to transition into a full time retainer role for the right person. This is not a basic editing job. I am looking for someone who can take raw footage, understand a brand's identity without being hand held through every decision, and deliver polished high quality short form content that feels consistent, intentional, and on brand every single time. Who I Am: I am Dennis DeMarino — an eCommerce entrepreneur and business mentor who runs 5ive World, a high ticket coaching program. My content lives across TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts and is built around educating and inspiring an audience of aspiring entrepreneurs between the ages of 18 and 35. What You Will Be Doing: Receiving batches of raw footage and editing them into 10 to 30 polished short form videos per batch Applying consistent brand identity across every piece of content — fonts, color grading, pacing, music, captions, and text overlays Making independent creative decisions without needing direct instruction on every edit Delivering content batches on agreed timelines with zero hand holding required Growing with the brand — this role starts per batch but the right person will transition into a full time retainer What I Am Looking For: Proven experience editing short form content specifically — TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts A strong understanding of what makes short form content perform — hooks, pacing, retention, pattern interrupts The ability to understand and protect a brand identity across every piece of content you touch Self sufficiency — you should be able to receive raw files and deliver finished content without requiring a detailed brief every single time Full English fluency — written and spoken — non negotiable Attention to detail, reliability, and the ability to meet batch deadlines consistently What You Will NOT Be Doing: Waiting to be told what to do on every edit Delivering generic cookie cutter edits with no brand awareness Missing deadlines or delivering inconsistent quality across a batch Compensation: Per batch to start — open to negotiation based on quality and output. The right candidate will transition into a full time retainer arrangement as the relationship develops. To Be Considered: ✅ A portfolio of previous short form content you have edited — links or files are both accepted and required ✅ Examples of brand focused work specifically — we want to see that you understand how to maintain a consistent identity across multiple pieces of content not just individual edits We are actively looking to fill this role within the next 7 days. If you are serious about this opportunity submit your application immediately — we will not be waiting. Applications without a portfolio will not be considered under any circumstances.
