Edit short-form videos for Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook.

Create highly engaging edits with strong hooks, smooth pacing, captions, transitions, sound effects, and motion graphics.

Deliver high-quality edits within agreed deadlines.

Collaborate with our content team to continuously improve video performance.

Minimum 2 years of proven experience editing short-form social media content.

A strong portfolio showcasing high-quality Reels or viral-style short videos is mandatory. Applications without a portfolio will not be considered.

Excellent understanding of viewer retention, storytelling, pacing, and attention-grabbing editing techniques.

Proficiency in tools such as Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, or equivalent professional editing software.

Experience creating animated captions, motion graphics, and engaging visual effects.

Ability to work independently and meet deadlines in a remote environment.

Strong communication skills in English.

Nice to Have

Experience working with business, educational, or entrepreneurship content.

Basic knowledge of thumbnail design and social media optimization.

Experience analyzing video performance and improving edits based on engagement metrics.
