The Opportunity:

We’re working with a fast-paced founder producing short-form, personality-driven videos for multiple consumer product brands. These aren’t your typical edits—they’re scroll-stopping, punchy, and built to convert. We’re looking for a world-class freelance video editor to help bring this energy to life.

If you can turn a talking head into a high-retention, TikTok-worthy gem—keep reading.


🎯 Your Mission:

  • Edit Like a Pro 🎞️: Transform raw founder-led footage into sharp, high-converting 30–90 second edits for TikTok, IG Reels, and YouTube Shorts
  • Bring the Energy ⚡: Add captions, callouts, sound effects, memes, and motion graphics to emphasize key moments
  • Stick to the Brief 📋: Match winning video references in tone, pacing, and storytelling (we’ll provide examples)
  • Stay Fast, Stay Sharp 🛠️: Deliver polished, detail-oriented edits with a 1–2 day turnaround
  • Collaborate Asynchronously 🤝: Communicate efficiently with our team without hand-holding or micromanagement
  • Keep It Clean 📂: Submit organized project files and export versions for smooth handoffs and revisions

🤝 Who You Are:

  • Short-Form Savvy 📱: You live and breathe TikTok, meme edits, YouTube pacing, and social-native storytelling
  • Detail-Oriented But Fast ⚡: You can move quickly without cutting corners
  • Self-Directed & Reliable ✅: You don’t need a babysitter and always hit your deadlines
  • Tool-Agnostic 🎨: Whether it’s Premiere, Final Cut, or DaVinci—if it’s clean and fast, we’re in
  • Voice-Aligned 🔊: You can edit in a way that feels true to the founder’s voice and personality

🌟 Bonus Points If You…

  • 🛍️ Have edited videos for eCommerce, DTC brands, or startup founders
  • 😄 Use humor and cultural references intentionally in your editing style
  • 📦 Are comfortable editing in batches and iterating based on team feedback
