Summary

We’re looking for one or more talented Reels Editors to join our growing team on an ongoing basis. This is not a role for someone who needs every cut, transition, and timestamp mapped out. We’re looking for editors who can take a general creative direction, understand the story we’re trying to tell, and bring it to life through editing. What You’ll Be Editing Our content varies across industries and brands, including: * Storytelling-focused reels (ex: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYnOWsnvfg_/?igsh=MWprNDM2MGlxcXU1YQ==) * Fastpaced & heavy editing: (ex: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYlI9oesXHf/?igsh=OHNkbXh4bG9wc2Fu) * Educational content (ex: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYnOWsnvfg_/?igsh=MWprNDM2MGlxcXU1YQ==) * Editorial and polished brand content * Trend-based and social-first content: (ex: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYOfjYOh7_3/?igsh=ZmZqMXFyd2VxNncw) What We’re Looking For * Strong understanding of short-form content * Ability to identify compelling story moments * Good pacing, hooks, retention tactics, and flow * Experience editing for Instagram Reels and TikTok * Ability to work from concepts and creative direction rather than detailed shot-by-shot instructions * Reliable communication and turnaround times When Applying Please include: 1. Two to three links to videos you’re most proud of or that best represent the type of content you’d create for this role. 2. Which type(s) of content you specialize in: * Storytelling * Editorial/Brand Content * Trend-Based Content * Or all of the above 3. Your typical turnaround time 4. Your rate per reel 5. Approximately how many reels you can edit per week 6. Any package pricing you offer The ideal editor doesn’t just ask, “What cut goes here?” but can look at footage, understand the goal of the content, and make thoughtful editing decisions that strengthen the story. I look forward to hearing from you!
