Part-Time Short-Form Video Editor

Overview I'm looking for a reliable, creative short-form video editor to join a small team supporting the social media launch of Ruben, a 12-year-old singer-songwriter based in Melbourne, Australia. This is a part-time ongoing role with consistent weekly volume. You'll receive raw phone footage of Ruben playing, practising, writing, and performing. Your job is to turn that into polished, platform-ready content for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts, and deliver it back for review within 48 hours. The account launches in the coming weeks. Ruben's first original song drops in Month 2, so there's a structured release campaign ahead that will require creative thinking, not just technical editing. The vibe This is the most important part of this post. Please read it before applying. The content must feel warm, authentic, and real. Think bedroom acoustic sessions. Natural light. Imperfect edges. A kid who genuinely loves music, captured honestly. What we're not looking for: heavy filters, flashy transitions, overproduced effects, or anything that makes a 12-year-old look like a commercial product. Simple, clean, human editing only. If your portfolio is full of high-energy branded content with lots of motion graphics, this probably isn't the right fit. If you've edited for singer-songwriters, acoustic musicians, or emerging artists and you understand how to let the content breathe, we'd love to hear from you.
