The Role
You’ll primarily edit short-form videos (Reels)
We’re looking for someone who watches raw footage and can turn it into a clear, engaging story. You'll cut out mistakes or repetitions, and create a smooth viewing journey.
We're seeking someone who knows what the perfect hook is, how the caption should look, how the colour grade should look — and delivers something we’re proud to post (with almost no corrections)
Who We’re Looking For (pls read carefully)
- You’re someone who knows how to color grade and enhance footage naturally. You notice if a colour grade looks off and you fix it before anyone points it out.
- Beyond colour grading, you approach the editing process thoughtfully. You know where to cut, which captions or text styles fit, and how to structure the video for flow and clarity.
- You also double and triple check grammar and spellings so nothing goes out with errors.
- You actually understand social media and know how a hook works.
- You can identify the best hook from any video and even suggest ideas for shooting new hooks and you keep up with what’s performing because you’re serious about growing as an exceptional video editor.
- You understand content strategy
- You’re a pro at telling stories.
- You understand how to optimize content for views and performance
What We’re NOT Looking For;
- Someone who doesn’t understand color grading or how to enhance videos naturally.
- Someone who doesn’t double-check captions for spelling or grammar mistakes.
- Someone who doesn’t understand how social media hooks work or how to make content engaging.
- Someone who needs direction on every edit decision.
- Someone who sends videos back with errors and waits for us to catch them.
- Someone who’s okay with doing the bare minimum instead of refining the edit.
- Anyone who overpromises and underdelivers.
- Anyone who cannot communicate timely & effectively.
What You’ll Do
- Edit short-form video content for Instagram and TikTok
- Identify the strongest visual and written hooks from the footage.
- Choose caption style, font, and placement.
- Colour grade to a clean, consistent and intentional look
- Edit captions to be grammatically correct, and readable.
- Add music, SFX, and motion when necessary
- Meet deadlines everytime and communicate effectively & early if something reasonable comes up.
Requirements
- 2+ years editing short-form social content for actual clients or brands (not just personal work).
- Verifiable portfolio and evidence of past work
- Proven ability to make creative decisions independently.
- Strong colour grading skills.
- Actively using Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, After Effects or CapCut Pro with verifiable evidence.
What's In It For You
- Competitive salary with performance-based bonuses
- Fun Environment: A small, sharp team that values clear thinking, good humor, and getting things done. We communicate directly, laugh often, and respect each other.
- You won't be micromanaged. You'll make real decisions, and see the direct impact of your work.
Now if you’re reading this and you're already thinking about laying your hands on a video, WE WANT YOU.
