YouTube Shorts Video Editor
About the role and the company hiring.
Short-Form Video Editor
We’re looking for a video editor to help us produce consistent short-form content for YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and other social platforms.
We’re not necessarily looking for someone with advanced technical editing skills.
The most important thing is that you understand short-form content, know how to hold viewers' attention, and have a good eye for pacing, music, B-roll, and overall storytelling.
Most of the content will involve turning podcasts and long-form vlogs into engaging short-form videos.
We need someone who understands how to identify the most interesting moments, structure clips to keep viewers watching, and use music, sound effects, and B-roll to make the content more engaging.
Responsibilities:
- Edit 6 short-form videos per day
- Find engaging moments from podcasts and vlogs
- Understand hooks, pacing, storytelling, and viewer retention
- Select music that matches the mood and energy of each video
- Add relevant B-roll, sound effects, and captions
- Know when to cut, zoom, or change visuals to maintain attention
- Follow our existing content style and references
- Submit content consistently every day
Schedule:
- 35–45 hours a week
- 6 short-form videos per day (primarily podcast and vlog clips)
What We’re Looking For:
- Strong understanding of YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and TikTok
- Ability to create engaging clips that hold viewers' attention
- Good understanding of music selection, pacing, and storytelling
- Good visual taste and attention to detail
- Able to follow examples and recreate an established style
- Comfortable editing podcast and vlog content
- Reliable and able to deliver content every day
- Fast turnaround time
- Strong communication
To Apply:
Please send examples of short-form videos you’ve edited, preferably podcast or vlog clips.
