Who We Are: Lukas Simianer is a combat vet, serial entrepreneur, and founder of VetClaims.ai. His personal brand is built for veterans who are done playing small. Think PBD energy meets boots-on-the-ground authenticity; raw, direct, and built to move people. We're scaling fast and need an editor who can keep up. Fair warning: this brand can have edgy humor, if you are easily offended this is not for you. The Role: You'll edit short-form content (Reels, TikTok, Shorts) shot on the road — ranges, job sites, trucks, boardrooms. Raw footage in, polished post out in 24 hours. We'll give feedback. You'll iterate fast. That's the job. What We Need: 24-hour turnaround (preferably) and fast revisions when notes come back Thick skin, the humor gets dark and dry; easily offended need not apply Deep meme fluency — you know what's trending right now and why it works Strong comedic timing — you feel the cut, not just execute it Caption and hook writing — you can make someone stop scrolling with text alone Proficiency in Premiere Pro, CapCut, or DaVinci Resolve Proficiency in color grading What Success Looks Like: You get 25 minutes of raw range footage. Lukas is shooting, cracking jokes, drops some real advice between shots. You find the hook, build the tension, land the laugh, and deliver a tight 30–60 second Reel with captions that pop and a scroll stopping title hook in under 24 hours with several iterations coming quickly behind that initial video. That's it. To Apply: Portfolio links (short-form work, ideally lifestyle/entrepreneur/veteran content) Your rate Send me 1 piece of content that you have done in this style.

I run an email marketing company and we're trying to grow our video content — for the business and for a product we just built. I'm on camera comfortably, and so is one other person on my team. What we don't have is the time to run everything around that. I need someone to take it over so it actually keeps going. The biggest thing for me is ideas. I don't want to start from a blank page every week. Someone who can bring me hooks and prompts to record is worth a lot more to me than someone who only edits what I send. We'll throw in our own topics when something comes up, but I don't want to be the one generating all of it. What you'd own: Ideas and prompts for us to record (mostly talking-head short-form) Editing the footage One longer YouTube video a month Posting across our channels Repurposing what we record When I look at applicants, the main thing I want to see is channels you've grown — a person's channel, someone whose face is the brand, not a company page. If that's you, send me what you've grown and how.
