Who We\'re Looking For

• At full capacity: 5 short-form videos + 1 long-form per week + ongoing client work

• Basic motion graphics (titles, lower thirds, transitions)
• Color grading and audio leveling
• Understanding of storytelling and pacing
• Short-form and long-form editing
• Familiarity with US/Western aesthetic standards
• Able to emulate styles similar to: Dan Martell, Alex Hormozi, Devon Levesque

Style & Culture Fit

• Should bring creative input, not just execute mechanically
• Comfortable receiving Loom-based briefs and written feedback
• Values clear communication and on-time delivery

Trial Project & Expectations

• As part of the hiring process, this role requires candidates to complete a non-negotiable trial project before a final hiring decision is made.
• All required deliverables must be submitted by the agreed deadline. Late delivery or partial submission will disqualify the candidate.
• Quality and communication during the trial will determine the hire decision.
• The trial project is unpaid.

• Client Relationship : You will be directly working with the client. This means that you will communicate with the client, provide services, and address any client-related matters independently.
• Payments : All payments for your services will be handled by the client. Elevate and Delegate is not involved in processing your payroll. Your salary will directly go to you.
• Vacation Leaves and Holidays : While we may have recommendations or guidelines regarding vacation leaves and holidays, the decision is entirely at the discretion of the client. You are expected to align your schedule with the client’s business needs and any specific policies or preferences they may have in this regard.

Application Process

• In place of a traditional initial interview, you’ll be asked to record your responses to the initial interview questions through a Loom video (questions & instructions are in the application page).
• Our team will carefully review your submission, and if shortlisted, we’ll share your responses with the client for their review and next steps.
