Viral Reels Video Editor – Work with Inside Success TV

Viral Reels Video Editor – Ongoing Work with Inside Success TV We’re looking for an exceptional short-form editor with the portfolio, creative judgement and reliability to turn compelling interviews into reels people stop scrolling to watch. You should already know how to build a strong hook, remove dead time, maintain momentum and deliver a satisfying payoff. We expect you to own these decisions and consistently deliver polished work. About Us Inside Success TV produces shows featuring entrepreneurs, business leaders and personalities with powerful stories to share. We have an extensive library of published episodes, alongside fresh studio interviews and cast-member Q&As. Our social team is turning that material into content that grows our audience and encourages people to watch more on the network. We need a reliable editing partner who can help us produce, test and improve that content consistently. The Role You’ll work closely with our social media manager, Jerry, to create engaging Instagram Reels and other short-form social videos. You’ll receive footage, selected moments or timestamps, creative briefs and feedback. You’ll turn these into finished edits, using your judgement to improve the opening, structure, pacing and visual treatment. Content will include: • Powerful comeback stories and surprising moments from published episodes. • Practical business advice and lessons from entrepreneurs. • Rapid-fire questions and “pick one” formats. • Compilations of different cast members answering the same question. • Selected social clips adapted for marketing campaigns. Responsibilities • Hook viewers immediately: identify the strongest opening and cut unnecessary introductions. • Build a clear story: create curiosity, maintain momentum and deliver the payoff without misrepresenting the speaker. • Edit for retention: remove pauses, repetition and filler; use purposeful fast cuts, punch-ins, zooms and visual changes. • Add accurate captions, animated text, graphics and on-screen choices that make the content easier to follow. • Use music and sound effects to support the story, with clean dialogue and balanced audio. • Bring relevant short-form trends and creative ideas to the team. • Create alternative hooks or edit versions so we can test what performs. • Deliver organised, platform-ready files and editable project files. • Meet agreed deadlines, communicate progress and flag blockers early. • Apply feedback consistently and use performance insights to improve future edits. Experience Requirements – Essential • A portfolio of strong short-form interview, podcast, business or personality-led content. • Evidence of high-performing reels you personally edited, with a clear explanation of your contribution. • Strong editorial judgement: you can explain why an opening works, where viewers might lose interest and what you would change. • Experience delivering a consistent workload and managing revisions. • The ability to work independently from a clear brief. Jerry should not need to explain every cut, caption, zoom or sound effect on every video. • Individual freelancers only. Skills & Experience • Proficiency in a professional editing tool such as Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro. • Strong short-form storytelling, captioning, sound design and vertical-video composition. • Excellent understanding of spoken English and attention to detail. • Comfortable working with transcripts, timestamps and longer interview footage. • Clear communication and organised task management through tools such as Slack and Monday. Compensation, Hours & Working Arrangement • Rate: [APPROVED USD HOURLY RANGE]. • Hours: [CONFIRMED HOURS PER WEEK]. • Required overlap: [WORKING HOURS AND TIME ZONE]. • Ongoing freelance opportunity, subject to performance and business needs. • We will agree output expectations based on edit complexity, footage preparation and the paid test. Please state your realistic weekly capacity and typical turnaround. Why This Role Is Different You’ll have access to a substantial content library, fresh studio material and a social media manager actively developing ideas and testing formats. Your edits will help turn those ideas into measurable audience growth. We value strong creative decisions, dependable delivery and continuous improvement. How to Apply Answer all five screening questions and provide three relevant examples of work you personally edited. Where available, include views, watch time or retention results, and clarify whether distribution was organic or paid. Shortlisted applicants will be invited to a separate, paid, fixed-price test before an ongoing hourly engagement. We’ll agree the scope, fee and deadline before work begins. The test will assess your hook, storytelling, pacing, captions, sound, attention to the brief and ability to deliver on time.
