Summary

We're looking for a dedicated, full-time video editor to join our team and produce high-volume, scroll-stopping short-form content for social media. This is NOT a freelance gig - we want someone who becomes part of the team, works consistent hours, and grows with us long-term. If you eat, sleep, and breathe viral short-form content and can keep up with a fast-paced production schedule, keep reading. Type Full-Time, 8 hours/day (40 hrs/week) 100% Remote Compensation $1,500/month (fixed monthly salary) Output Expected 8 fully edited short-form videos per day Tools Provided All AI tools, Submagic for captions, and any software you need Start Immediately THE EDITING STYLE WE WANT Reference style (study these closely before applying): instagram.com/aymen_berrahma/reels/ — Overall editing style & energy instagram.com/reel/DV_rsw_CiGp/ — Pacing, transitions, and visual punch instagram.com/reel/DVW73iGDdgj/ — Caption design, SFX, and engagement triggers If your portfolio doesn’t match this caliber and energy level, please don’t apply. WHAT YOU'LL DO EVERY DAY • Edit 8 short-form videos per day • Receive pre-made, pre-cut raw footage — your job is to transform it into viral-ready content • Apply dynamic captions using Submagic (provided) or similar tools • Add sound effects, zooms, transitions, b-roll overlays, and visual hooks • Optimize every video for maximum watch time and retention • Follow brand guidelines and maintain a consistent editing style • Communicate daily with the team, deliver on time, and iterate on feedback quickly WHAT WE PROVIDE • All raw footage pre-recorded and pre-cut — no filming, no scripting, no content planning required • Full access to Submagic for automated captions • Budget for any additional AI tools, plugins, or software you need • Clear creative direction and style references for every batch • A supportive, fast-moving team that values quality and speed REQUIREMENTS Must-Haves: • Proven experience editing short-form content (TikTok, Reels, Shorts) • Portfolio that demonstrates fast-paced, high-retention editing similar to the references above • Proficiency in Premiere Pro, After Effects, CapCut, or DaVinci Resolve • Ability to consistently deliver 6–8 polished videos per day • Available for 8 hours/day, 5 days/week (with some flexibility on schedule) • Strong internet connection and reliable workstation • Responsive communication — this is a team position, not a set-and-forget gig Nice-to-Haves: • Experience with AI-powered editing tools (Submagic, Opus Clip, CapCut AI, etc.) • Understanding of social media algorithms and what makes content perform • Motion graphics or animation skills • Experience working with personal brands or content creators HOW TO APPLY To be considered, your proposal MUST include: • 3–5 examples of short-form videos you’ve edited in the EXACT same style as listed (links required — no examples = instant rejection) • A short note on what makes the reference videos above effective (proves you actually studied them) • Your editing software of choice • Confirmation that you’re available for full-time, 8 hrs/day • Your timezone and preferred working hours Generic proposals will be ignored. Show us your work. Show us you understand the style. Let’s build something great together.
