Video Editor

The Role

This is an ongoing freelance position focused primarily on video editing.

You’ll edit long-form video content—often interviews and video podcasts—and repurpose it into compelling short-form clips for platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn.

We are not looking for a generalist who also offers marketing, social media management, or virtual assistance. We want someone whose core strength is video editing and who knows how to use visuals, pacing, graphics, and sound to bring a story to life.

What You’ll Be Doing
Editing long-form interviews and video podcasts into polished final videos
Identifying and creating engaging short-form clips
Using pacing, camera changes, punch-ins, B-roll, graphics, and other visual elements intentionally
Creating or adapting intros, outros, bumpers, title sequences, and branded transitions
Incorporating captions, lower thirds, logos, and other supplied brand assets
Using light animation or motion graphics where appropriate
Cleaning and balancing dialogue audio within video projects
Removing unnecessary pauses, filler, repetition, and tangents while preserving a natural conversation
Following established briefs, workflows, and brand guidelines
Delivering an initial edit within approximately 2–3 working days
Responding well to feedback and applying revisions consistently
What We’re Looking For
Strong video-editing skills, particularly for YouTube or creator-led content
Experience editing both long-form and short-form video
A clear understanding of story, pacing, and audience retention
Confidence working with graphics, captions, intros, bumpers, and light animation
Good judgment about when visual elements enhance the content—and when they become distracting
Working knowledge of dialogue editing and audio cleanup
Strong attention to detail and consistency
Reliable communication and the ability to meet agreed deadlines
Openness to feedback and an interest in building an ongoing working relationship

A background in graphic design or motion graphics would be a strong advantage.

What This Role Is Not

This is not a social media management, marketing, graphic design, or virtual assistant position. Some graphic and animation skills are valuable, but we are specifically looking for someone whose primary expertise is editing video.

To Apply

Please send:

A brief introduction and summary of your relevant experience
One example of a long-form video you edited
Two or more examples of short-form content you created from longer footage
An example featuring animation, motion graphics, an intro, a bumper, or another custom visual element
A clear explanation of what you personally handled in each example
Your typical turnaround time and availability
The editing software you use
Your rate for this type of work

Selected candidates may be invited to complete a paid editing test using supplied footage and assets.
