Part-time Social Media Editor for Arts & culture organization (long-term)

PART-TIME VIDEO EDITOR FOR ARTS & CULTURE ORGANIZATION (LONG-TERM) We're looking for a talented video editor to become an ongoing creative partner for our team. Every month, we capture a mix of content including street interviews, artist testimonials, event recap videos, community stories, public art installations, behind-the-scenes content, documentary-style moments, and short-form social media videos for Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok. This is not a "cash cow" editing job. We're looking for someone with an artistic eye who understands storytelling, pacing, and visual culture. We want videos that feel thoughtful, contemporary, and engaging—not overly flashy or built around gimmicky editing trends. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR ~ Dynamic pacing ~ Creative transitions (when appropriate) ~ Motion graphics ~ Fun, intentional text animation ~ Tasteful memes and internet culture references ~ Stop-motion or mixed-media elements when they enhance the story ~ Strong sound design ~ Color correction ~ Music selection that fits the emotion of the piece Most importantly, we're looking for someone who understands how to tell a story, not just assemble clips. THE STYLE Think: ~ Arts & culture organizations ~ Creative agencies ~ Documentary storytelling ~ Public art ~ Design-forward social content ~ Human-centered stories Not: ~ Loud "YouTube guru" editing ~ Over-edited cash-cow videos ~ Constant zooms and captions every second ~ Generic influencer editing THIS COULD BE A GREAT FIT IF YOU... ~ Have experience editing documentary or interview content. ~ Love art, architecture, design, culture, or nonprofits. ~ Can balance polished editing with authentic storytelling. ~ Enjoy collaborating and bringing creative ideas to the table. ~ Are reliable with deadlines and communication. PROJECT DETAILS ~ Ongoing monthly work ~ Flexible hours ~ Multiple videos each month (workload varies) ~ Opportunity for a long-term relationship as our organization grows. REQUIRED TO APPLY Applications without ALL of the following will not be considered. ~ Send a link to your portfolio or demo reel. ~ Include three videos you've edited that are most similar to the style described above. ~ Tell us, in a few sentences, why you think your editing style is a good fit. ~ Include your typical turnaround time for a 30–90 second social video. We review every portfolio carefully. Strong storytelling and creative judgment matter far more than flashy effects. We're excited to find someone who wants to help tell meaningful stories through film.
