Video Editor
Worldwide
We translate the UK financial system (mortgages, tax, ISAs, pensions, savings) into plain English for people navigating it without the manual. Think calm authority, not hype. We’re looking for a skilled Reels editor to join us on an ongoing basis. This is not a one-off gig — if the first batch is strong, we want a long-term working relationship. Talking-head educational reels. The presenter speaks directly to camera, delivering structured financial insight in 60-90 seconds. The format follows a clear script structure — hook, context, stake, payout, CTA. Your job is to make that structure land visually. Think: clean, minimal, warm. Data-driven content with strong on-screen text overlays and accurate captions. Not flashy. Not trend-chasing. The content earns trust through clarity, not entertainment. Reference aesthetic: calm, professional, content-forward. Cream and orange palette. No busy graphics, no stock footage inserts, no dramatic sound effects. • Receive raw iPhone footage and a written script per reel • Edit to 60-90 seconds, maintaining the script’s structural flow • Add burned-in captions — accurate timing is non-negotiable • Add on-screen text overlays at key moments (numbers, key terms, keywords) • Colour grade to a warm, consistent look across all content • Apply background music — subtle, never competing with voice • Deliver in 1080x1920 (9:16), MP4, under 100MB • Turnaround: 24-48 hours per reel • Volume: 3-4 reels per week ongoing REQUIREMENTS • Minimum 2 years editing short-form video content (Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts) • Portfolio that includes talking-head or educational content — not just music videos or lifestyle content • Accurate subtitle/caption experience — we will test this in the paid trial • Responsive — replies to messages within a few hours during working days • Premiere Pro, CapCut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve — tell us which you use
