# Short Form Video Editor Position > Shadow Light Studios · Mexico (Remote) · Full-time · Posted 2026-05-04 **Workplace:** remote ## Description We are hiring a Short Form Video Editor for our client, one of the most trusted entrepreneurship media brands in the world. Our client started as a small digital magazine in Australia and grew into a global education and media company for founders. Today, their content reaches over 1M entrepreneurs each month through podcasts, courses, newsletters, events, social media, and their membership platform. Their podcast has featured some of the biggest names in business, including Mark Cuban, Tim Ferriss, Tony Robbins, Richard Branson, Arianna Huffington, Seth Godin, Barbara Corcoran, Daymond John, Reid Hoffman, Simon Sinek, Alex Hormozi, Emma Grede, Neil Patel, Gary Vaynerchuk, and many more. Now they need a sharp short form editor who can turn world-class founder interviews into clips people cannot stop watching ### A Day in This Role You start the day inside a long-form podcast episode with a founder who built something huge. There is an hour of footage. Somewhere inside it is the moment. A story. A lesson. A hot take. A line that makes an entrepreneur stop scrolling and think, “I needed to hear that.” Your job is to find it. You pull the strongest moments, shape the hook, tighten the pacing, add clean captions, build motion where needed, and turn the clip into something built for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and LinkedIn. Later, you review what performed best. You study retention, rewatches, comments, and shares. Then you use that data to make the next batch sharper. You end the day knowing your edits helped real entrepreneurs learn from some of the best business minds on earth. ### What You’ll Do You will turn long-form founder content into high-performing short form videos. **You will:** - Find the best clips inside podcast episodes, interviews, and founder content - Edit short form videos for TikTok, Reels, Shorts, and LinkedIn - Create strong hooks that grab attention fast - Add captions, pacing, cuts, zooms, sound design, and motion graphics - Turn complex business lessons into clear, watchable clips - Edit with taste, speed, and platform awareness - Help test new styles, formats, hooks, and creative angles - Review performance data and improve future edits - Work with a content team that cares deeply about craft and reach ### You’re Right for This If - You have strong short form editing experience - You know how to turn long-form content into viral clips - You understand pacing, hooks, retention, captions, and scroll-stopping structure - You can spot the best moment inside a long interview - You have a strong eye for clean, modern design - You use editing to tell a story, not just cut footage - You understand TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and LinkedIn - You can work fast without making the work feel rushed - You are organized, reliable, and comfortable working remotely ### This Role Is Not for You If - You only edit basic talking-head clips - You need someone else to pick every clip for you - You do not study what performs on social - You ignore pacing, retention, and the first 3 seconds - You are not interested in founders, business, or entrepreneurship - You are slow to take feedback or test new creative ideas ### Bonus If You Have - Experience editing business, podcast, or founder content - Experience editing for large personal brands or media companies - Motion graphics skills - Strong audio cleanup skills - Experience editing full podcast episodes - A reel with strong performance numbers ### Why This Role Is Exciting - You will work with content from some of the most respected founders and business leaders in the world - Your edits can reach millions of entrepreneurs - You will learn business lessons every day while editing - You will help grow both proven shows and new content launches - You will work with a media brand that has been building for over a decade - You will get real creative room to test, improve, and shape what works ### Compensation Competitive pay based on your region, tool subscription reimbursements, fully remote, ongoing training, and more!
