I'm looking for a long-term VA who can help me turn my knowledge, ideas, and raw footage into consistent short-form social media content. This is more than a basic video editing position.

What the workflow will look like You will help create ideas / strategy. I will film a large amount of raw content, explanations, opinions, demonstrations, screen recordings, and other footage. Your job will be to help turn that material into strong content for platforms such as: * TikTok * Instagram Reels * YouTube Shorts * LinkedIn * Other social platforms as we expand You will help with: * Learning my businesses, expertise, audience, and topics * Researching content ideas and trends * Helping develop hooks and video concepts * Helping with scripts and outlines * Reviewing large amounts of raw footage * Identifying the strongest clips and ideas * Editing short-form videos * Combining footage, screen recordings, B-roll, graphics, captions, and other elements * Repurposing one recording into multiple pieces of content * Organizing our content pipeline * Helping determine what we should film next based on previous content * Reviewing performance and identifying what we should do more of * Providing honest feedback on raw content being sent over including lighting, angles, background, jump cuts, and more. I already have AI tools for scripting, editing assistance, content research, and other parts of the process.

You do not need to already understand everything I do. I care more about your ability to learn it. Important I am looking for someone who wants to become deeply familiar with my content and businesses over time. The goal is for me to be able to spend my time filming and sharing ideas while you help turn that raw material into a consistent stream of high-quality content. This can become a long-term position with increasing responsibility. When applying Please send: 1. Examples of short-form videos you have personally edited. 2. An example of a creator or business account whose content style you think is especially strong and explain why. 3. What tools you currently use for video editing and AI. 4. Your hourly rate. 5.
