**About the Role:**

We are looking for a video editor to take long-form content (primarily podcasts and similar recordings) and turn it into engaging short-form clips for social media. Initial focus is on producing strong “proof of work” from existing raw footage, with the potential to expand the scope if the collaboration goes well.

**Key Responsibilities:**

1\. Clip Creation:

-   Review long-form content (e.g., podcast episodes, long videos) and identify the most engaging segments.
-   Edit these segments into short-form clips for platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and LinkedIn.
-   Ensure clips are concise, hook quickly, and retain viewer attention.

2\. Editing & Post-Production:

-   Add captions, simple motion graphics, and basic visual enhancements as needed.
-   Perform basic audio cleanup (noise reduction, levelling, etc.).
-   Format and export videos in multiple aspect ratios (9:16, 1:1, 16:9) as required.

3\. Content Quality & Consistency

-   Maintain a cohesive style across clips that aligns with the client’s tone and evolving brand identity.
-   Implement feedback to refine style, pacing, and overall quality.
-   Deliver an initial “proof of work” batch of clips from the provided raw footage.

4\. Collaboration & Communication:

-   Take clear direction on priorities, clip volume, and creative adjustments.
-   Communicate timelines, capacity, and any blockers proactively.
-   Share work-in-progress and incorporate feedback efficiently.

**Requirements:**

-   Demonstrable experience editing short-form social content from long-form video (portfolio or samples required).
-   Proficiency with at least one major editing tool (Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut, etc.).

**Ability to:**

-   Quickly identify hooks and compelling moments in long-form conversations.
-   Add captions and on-screen text/graphics optimized for social platforms.
-   Edit for social-first consumption (strong hooks, pacing, and retention).
-   Reliable internet connection and ability to work independently.
-   Good written and verbal communication in English.

**Nice-to-Have:**

-   Experience specifically with podcast-to-clip workflows.
-   Familiarity with short-form content trends on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn.
-   Basic understanding of how editing choices influence performance metrics (views, retention, engagement)
