I'm a licensed clinician and parenting expert building an education brand for parents of struggling kids and teens. I create all the raw content myself — talking-head videos and podcast recordings. I need one reliable person to turn that raw material into polished, published content every week. This is an execution role, not a strategy role. The content calendar, topics, and brand voice are already defined. Your job is to make the machine run. Weekly deliverables: Edit 3–4 Instagram Reels (60–90 sec) from raw talking-head footage I provide: trim dead air, add burned-in captions, add a text hook on screen, export to Instagram spec Edit 1 podcast episode (20–30 min): clean audio, cut restarts and flagged sections, upload to Buzzsprout with the title and description I approve Pull 2–3 short clips from each podcast episode for use as Reels Schedule all posts in the weekly content calendar (Later, Metricool, or similar) Light account management from a guideline doc: follow relevant accounts, flag comments and DMs that need my personal reply (you will not respond as me on substantive messages) Workflow: I batch-record and drop raw files in a shared Google Drive folder once a week with brief notes. You return edited drafts within 72 hours. One revision round per piece. One short weekly check-in call for the first month, then async. You're a fit if you have: A portfolio with talking-head educational or expert content (coaches, clinicians, educators — not just montages or meme edits) Native-level written English — captions must be accurate, including clinical vocabulary Experience with captioning/subtitling tools and at least one audio editor (Descript, CapCut, Premiere, Audacity — your choice, I care about output) A clear delivery process: organized files, consistent naming, deadlines met without chasing Good judgment about tone. This content deals with struggling kids and worried parents. It is direct but never clickbait. If your instinct is trending audio and rapid jump cuts, this isn't the right fit. Where this goes: This role starts focused, but it won't stay small. The brand has several additional offerings launching over the next year — a podcast expansion, parent programs, and professional training — and each will need content and social media support. My strong preference is to expand this role rather than hire around it. The person who proves themselves in the first three months has first claim on that growth. Compensation structure: $500/month flat retainer covering the deliverables above (works out to roughly $115–$125/week, or about $15–$18/hr at the expected 6–8 hrs/week). Paid through Upwork weekly milestones. As scope expands per the above, the retainer will be renegotiated upward to match. To apply: Link 2–3 examples of talking-head content you've edited (Reels, TikToks, or YouTube Shorts) Tell me in 2–3 sentences how you'd handle a raw 5-minute clip where the strongest moment is buried at the 3-minute mark Start your proposal with the word "ANCHOR" so I know you read this far Shortlisted candidates will be offered a short paid test edit before hiring.

PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY — IMPORTANT DETAILS INCLUDED We are not looking for a generic video editor. We are looking for someone who understands comedy, understands social media psychology, understands audience behavior, and knows how to turn long-form content into highly engaging short-form clips that drive views, engagement, audience growth, and ticket sales. Our agency works with many of the biggest names in stand-up comedy, entertainment, podcasting, and digital media. The content you create will be viewed by millions of people across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and other platforms. This is a fast-paced, high-volume position that requires creativity, speed, attention to detail, and a deep understanding of what makes content perform. COMEDY KNOWLEDGE IS REQUIRED Our agency works with a variety of stand-up comedians. Being able to consume comedy content and understand the fundamentals of joke structure is critical. You should understand: • Setups and punchlines • Callbacks • Crowd work • Tags • Act-outs • Misdirection • Character development within a bit • Timing and pacing One of the most important parts of this role is preserving the integrity of the joke while maximizing its performance on social media. Being funny is not enough. Knowing where to start the clip, how to build curiosity, when to cut, what to remove, and how to maximize retention without ruining the joke is essential. SOCIAL MEDIA CONTENT STRATEGY IS REQUIRED We are not interested in assembly-line editors who simply trim clips and add captions. We are looking for editors who understand why content succeeds on social media. You should know how to identify and edit clips that contain: • A strong hook within the first 1-3 seconds • Curiosity and discovery • Escalation and tension • Emotional payoff • A satisfying punchline • Retention-driving edits • Shareability • Watch-time optimization This applies to: • Stand-up comedy clips • Crowd work clips • Podcast clips • Interviews • Talk-to-camera videos • Vlogs • Behind-the-scenes content • Tour content • Promotional content • Advertising creatives You should understand the differences between: • Facebook • Instagram Reels • TikTok • YouTube Shorts • Long-form YouTube content and how content should be packaged differently for each platform.

Our clients are entertainers, comedians, podcasters, and content creators. In addition to editing content, you may be asked to create marketing assets that support ticket sales, audience growth, and content distribution. Examples include: • YouTube thumbnails optimized for click-through rate (CTR) • Cover images for Reels, Shorts, and TikTok videos • Tour artwork and show graphics • Social media flyers for Instagram Feed, Stories, Facebook, and other platforms • Podcast artwork and episode graphics • Promotional graphics for ticket on-sales, announcements, and special events • Email marketing graphics • Website banners and hero images • Sponsorship and partnership creative • Ad creatives for Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and Google campaigns The ideal candidate understands that design is not simply about making something look good.

This is a content marketing role disguised as a video editing role. Every clip, graphic, thumbnail, and piece of content should be created with a purpose. The goal is not simply to publish content. The goal is to grow audiences, increase engagement, generate ticket sales, build fan communities, and create measurable business results for our clients. WHEN APPLYING, PLEASE INCLUDE 1. Links to your best short-form editing work. 2. Examples of stand-up comedy, podcast, interview, or viral social clips you have edited. 3.
