ABOUT THE ROLE
We are looking for an experienced and creative Social Media & Content Editor to join our team on a part-time basis.
This is a hands-on editing role focused solely on turning raw footage, podcast episodes and social media videos into high-quality, engaging short-form content.
You will be responsible for taking footage provided to you and transforming it into polished, scroll-stopping content for platforms including Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook and YouTube Shorts.
This role is ideal for someone who already understands social media editing and can work independently without needing step-by-step direction.
Previous professional content editing experience is essential, and applicants must provide a portfolio of previous work.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Review long-form podcast footage and identify the strongest moments.
Edit podcast episodes into engaging short-form reels.
Produce approximately 10–12 high-quality reels from each long-form podcast episode.
Identify strong hooks and attention-grabbing opening moments.
Ensure each clip works as a standalone piece of content.
Add captions/subtitles, on-screen text and graphics.
Improve pacing and remove unnecessary pauses.
Add music and sound effects where appropriate.
Ensure audio is clear and professionally presented.
Apply consistent branding across content.

Have clean, professional audio.
Follow supplied brand guidelines.
Be formatted correctly for the intended platform.
Be free from spelling and editing errors.

We are looking for someone who understands the difference between simply cutting a video and editing content specifically to perform on social media.
EXPERIENCE REQUIRED
Applicants must have previous experience editing social media content.
You should have:
Demonstrated experience editing Reels, TikToks, Shorts or similar short-form content.
Experience editing podcast footage is highly desirable.
Strong understanding of hooks, pacing, retention and social media trends.

Excellent written English for captions and on-screen text.

Applications should include examples of:
Short-form social media reels personally edited by the applicant.
Talking-to-camera content.
Podcast clips, where available.
Content using captions, hooks, graphics and other editing techniques.
Applicants who do not provide a portfolio or examples of previous editing work will not be considered.
HOURS & WORKLOAD
This is a 20-hour-per-week part-time position.
The successful applicant will be expected to manage their own editing workflow, meet agreed deadlines and maintain a consistent flow of completed content each week.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
We want someone who can receive a folder of raw footage and run with it.
You should have a natural eye for:
What makes a strong hook.
What should be cut.
What should stay.
