Job description

At SelfPublishing.com , we help people turn their ideas into bestselling books — and their books into movements that change lives.

We’ve helped thousands of authors publish, launch, and grow their impact — reaching millions of readers worldwide. Now, we’re looking for a Video Editor to help us amplify that impact even further by driving high-intent traffic, boosting conversions, and helping more authors find us when they need us most.

This isn’t just about ranking for keywords. It’s about creating content that moves people — that inspires action, earns trust, and helps real writers make their dream of publishing a reality.

If you’re part data nerd, part storyteller, and totally obsessed with growth — this might be your dream role.

We're hiring a Video Editor to help selfpublishing.com and Chandler Bolt turn podcast episodes, ads, and other raw footage into scroll-stopping short‑form content, working remotely from the Rio de Janeiro, Brazil region with required overlap during Austin, TX business hours (9am–5pm CT).

What You'll Be Doing

• Editing podcast clips, ads, and other short‑form content (Reels, TikToks, Shorts) with a focus on hooks, storytelling, pacing, and retention
• Publishing what you edit yourself and owning how it performs once it’s live, not just views and retention, but how it converts into leads and revenue
• Enhancing videos with music, sound design, motion graphics, and finishing polish (color, mix, captions, QC) across every platform
• Collaborating with our Marketing team to align edits with titles, thumbnails, messaging, and funnel strategy, on fast‑turnaround requests
• Staying on top of social and short‑form trends and bringing fresh ideas to the team

Please Don't Apply If You...

• Haven't edited for a large or fast‑growing short‑form account or content creator
• Don't have retention‑driven, revenue‑generating examples in your portfolio
• Struggle with feedback or fast‑paced iteration
• Can't reliably work Austin, TX hours (9am–5pm CT), Monday through Friday

You're a Great Fit If You Have

• 3+ years editing for short‑form platforms, content creators, or a brand's social channels
• Know and/or continue to learn the art and science of making content that doesn't just perform but converts into leads, sales, and revenue
• Mastery of Adobe Premiere Pro (After Effects + Photoshop a plus)
• Familiarity with the metrics that drive performance (watch time, CTR, conversion rate) and a portfolio or reel that shows it
• An ownership mindset and a growth mindset: you follow through on results, test relentlessly, and keep leveling up your craft

Bonus Points For

• Editing experience with top creators, entrepreneurs, or educators
• Understanding of analytics and data‑driven creative decisions
• Curiosity about AI tools, plug‑ins, or workflow automation
• A proven record of contributing to measurable audience and revenue growth

The Details

• Location: Remote, based in the Rio de Janeiro, Brazil region
• Hours: Must be available Austin, TX business hours (9am–5pm CT), Monday through Friday, for real‑time collaboration with the Creative team
• A mission‑driven team building something that truly matters
• Fully remote, with a consistent, predictable schedule
• Direct collaboration with a fast‑growing company brand (selfpublishing.com) and personal brand (Chandler Bolt)
• Hourly Pay - $10 - $12/Hourly

If you're ready to help us tell stories that inspire, educate, and change lives, we'd love to meet you.
