Freelance Social Media Video Editor

Summary

We’re hiring a Social Media Video Editor & Content Planner to help us level up our short-form content game across platforms like Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and LinkedIn. This is not just a post-and-ghost kind of job. You’ll help us plan, shape, and edit videos that are snappy, stylish, and make people watch to the end.

You’ll work closely with our Creative Director and content team to brainstorm formats, develop hooks, and cut videos from existing materials (e.g., podcast episodes, shoots, interviews, or recorded monologues). We’ll supply the footage—your job is to make it scroll-stopping.
