We produce short-form video for our clients' social channels and paid Meta campaigns, and we're looking for a reliable editor to turn raw footage and client-provided clips into scroll-stopping vertical video. You'll work primarily in CapCut, editing talking-head clips, B-roll, and screen content into polished 9:16 videos built for Reels, Stories, and Meta ad placements. This is recurring work across multiple client accounts, so we want someone we can build a long-term rhythm with, not a one-off hire. What you'll be doing Editing raw footage into 15 to 60 second vertical videos for Instagram Reels and Meta ads Cutting for retention: strong hooks in the first 2 to 3 seconds, tight pacing, no dead air Adding captions, text overlays, transitions, sound design, and licensed or royalty-free music Working from light briefs and brand guidelines, matching each client's tone and look Keeping a consistent visual style across a series of videos for the same client Delivering platform-ready exports (correct aspect ratio, resolution, and specs for Meta) Iterating quickly on revision notes Requirements Proven experience editing short-form vertical video, ideally for paid social or DTC brands Strong working knowledge of CapCut (this is our primary tool) Understanding of what makes a Reel or a Meta ad perform: hooks, pacing, captions, CTA placement Solid eye for clean typography, motion, and sound timing Reliable communication and the ability to hit deadlines consistently A portfolio with examples of vertical short-form work Nice to have Experience with Meta ad specs and placements Familiarity with Jupitrr or similar talking-head tools Basic understanding of direct-response marketing Ability to source B-roll and music when footage is thin
