Short-Form Video Editor for Political PodcastSearching

Video Editor is needed in United States.

Edit long-form podcast episodes into compelling vertical clips for Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and similar platforms. Review full episodes independently to identify both obvious standout moments and nuanced, locally relevant political, civic, policy, culture, and community conversations.

Create clean, engaging edits for a 40-and-under audience, including strong hooks, accurate captions, and platform-ready 9:16 formatting. Editorial judgment is especially important: clips should make complex or niche topics accessible while preserving context and relevance.

This is an ongoing remote freelance collaboration. Dependable communication and consistent turnaround are essential, with flexibility to prioritize timely clips when breaking news makes a recent or archived discussion newly relevant.

Please share relevant short-form samples, particularly podcast, interview, news, public-affairs, political, or informative/explainer content. Finalists may be asked to complete a paid editing test.Who are you, and what do you do?
About the podcast Where The Party At? is an Atlanta-based podcast and civic platform hosted by Saba Long and Eldredge E. Washington. The show goes beyond political headlines to explore the people, organizations, ideas, and events shaping Atlanta and the broader community. Guests range from elected officials and activists to entrepreneurs, artists, nonprofit leaders, and community builders. The show is conversational, smart, culturally aware, and rooted in civic life. While politics and public policy are a significant part of the conversation, the podcast also covers culture, business, community, and the people doing interesting work across Atlanta. The goal is not simply to discuss what’s happening, but to help listeners understand why it matters and where they can plug in. For this role, we’re especially interested in someone who can recognize both the obvious big moments and the more nuanced, locally significant exchanges that may resonate with an Atlanta or politically engaged audience.
