Summary

About OMIRA OMIRA is a portfolio operating company that builds, owns, and scales businesses across marketing, technology, services, staffing, consumer brands, software, and real estate. We are looking for an experienced video editor who can take raw footage and turn it into polished, engaging content for multiple businesses and brands within the OMIRA ecosystem. This is not a filming or on-camera role. We will provide the raw footage, brand direction, and project requirements. Your job will be to edit the footage into professional content that is ready to publish. Most projects will involve short-form videos for Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, advertisements, founder content, promotional videos, and other social media content. We need someone who already knows how to edit. This is not a beginner training position. The ideal editor understands pacing, storytelling, retention, captions, music, sound design, transitions, visual hierarchy, and what currently performs on social media. You should be able to make content feel modern and engaging without overediting it or making every video look like a generic template. This may begin as project-based freelance work, with the potential to grow into consistent ongoing work for the right person. Responsibilities • Edit raw footage into polished short-form and promotional videos • Create content for Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, advertisements, websites, and other platforms • Remove unnecessary footage and build a clear, engaging narrative • Add captions, subtitles, text overlays, music, sound effects, graphics, and transitions • Improve pacing and structure to maintain viewer attention • Perform basic color correction, audio cleanup, and visual enhancement • Select appropriate music and trending audio when relevant • Repurpose longer footage into multiple short-form videos • Follow brand guidelines, references, and creative direction • Create multiple variations of videos when required • Format and export videos correctly for each platform • Make revisions based on feedback • Organize project files and deliver final videos on time • Maintain consistent quality across multiple OMIRA brands Types of Content Projects may include: • Founder and personal-brand videos • Educational short-form content • Promotional videos • Social media advertisements • Business and service highlights • Product videos • Interviews and testimonials • Podcast clips • Behind-the-scenes footage • Recruitment and company-culture videos • Website videos • Long-form content repurposed into short clips Required Skills • Proven experience editing professional video content • Strong understanding of short-form social media editing • Ability to turn raw footage into engaging, structured content • Strong sense of pacing, storytelling, and viewer retention • Experience creating accurate, readable captions and subtitles • Understanding of trending editing styles, social media formats, music, and audio • Strong attention to detail • Ability to follow references and brand guidelines • Reliable communication and deadline management • Ability to receive feedback and make revisions quickly • Comfortable managing multiple projects or brands Editing Software You should be highly capable with at least one professional editing platform, including: • Adobe Premiere Pro • Final Cut Pro • DaVinci Resolve • CapCut • Captions • Adobe After Effects • Similar professional video-editing software You do not need to use every platform listed, but you must be able to consistently produce professional results. What We Are Looking For We want an editor who: • Understands current social media trends • Knows what makes viewers stop scrolling • Can identify the strongest moments in raw footage • Can improve weak pacing without needing step-by-step instructions • Uses effects intentionally rather than adding random transitions • Keeps captions clean, accurate, and readable • Understands when a video should feel fast-paced and when it should feel more polished or cinematic • Can match different editing styles across different brands • Communicates clearly and meets deadlines • Takes ownership of the final quality of the edit This Role Is Not a Fit For Someone Who • Is still learning basic video-editing software • Needs detailed instructions for every cut and transition • Uses the same editing template for every video • Is unfamiliar with current short-form content • Cannot provide previous work • Regularly misses deadlines • Ignores brand guidelines or reference examples • Submits videos without checking captions, spelling, audio, or formatting Project Structure • Freelance or contract-based role • Remote • Project-based work to start • Potential for consistent weekly or monthly work • Potential for a larger long-term role based on performance • Compensation based on experience, portfolio quality, turnaround time, and project scope How to Apply Please include: • A short introduction • A portfolio, demo reel, social media page, or examples of previous video work • Examples of short-form videos you personally edited • The editing software you use • Your typical turnaround time • Your rate per short-form video or preferred pricing structure • Your weekly availability • Whether you are available for ongoing work Applications without relevant video-editing examples will not be considered. Please also begin your application with the word **OMIRA** so we know you read the full posting.
