Job description

We're looking for a Long and Short Form Video Editor to watch YouTube content from a fast-growing social media creator, identify the best clippable moments, edit them into short-form clips, and run the creator's clipping pages across social platforms. This is a full-time, dedicated role for one creator's content operation.

You will spend most of your time watching videos, finding the moments that hit, clipping and editing them into shareable short-form content, and posting and managing the accounts where those clips live. You do not need to be a professional editor or have a marketing degree. You need good instincts for what makes a YouTube moment worth clipping, the ability to move fast, and the discipline to stay on top of a consistent posting schedule. AI tools for transcription and content review are encouraged. If you are plugged into creator culture, understand what performs on short-form platforms, and want a focused, high-output role inside a growing content operation, this role is a strong fit.

Why You'll Want to Join

• You will be paid in USD (bi-monthly: every 15th and 30th)
• Paid Time Off in accordance with company policy
• Observance of Holidays per company guidelines
• 100% remote setup so you can work wherever you're most productive
• This role requires availability during US business hours
• Work directly inside the content operation of a viral social media creator with a large and growing audience
• High-output, focused role with real creative input into how the creator's content reaches new audiences

What You'll Work On

Content Clipping and Identification

• Watch YouTube videos and long-form content to identify the best clippable moments including funny, surprising, emotional, controversial, or highly shareable sequences
• Use AI transcription and review tools to move through content faster and surface moments efficiently
• Develop a strong instinct for what works on short-form platforms and what will stop the scroll

Short-Form Video Editing

• Edit identified moments into polished short-form clips ready for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and X
• Add captions, cuts, pacing adjustments, and light visual treatments to make clips platform-ready
• Maintain a consistent output of clips without sacrificing quality

Social Page Management

• Run and manage the creator's clipping pages across relevant platforms
• Post consistently to a defined schedule and keep accounts active and growing
• Monitor basic performance metrics and flag what is working to inform future clipping decisions
• Engage with comments and community interactions on clipping pages as needed

What You Bring

• Genuine understanding of what makes a YouTube or long-form video moment worth clipping; good instincts here matter more than a formal background
• Comfortable watching and processing high volumes of video content efficiently, including using AI tools for transcription and review
• Basic video editing skills with the ability to produce clean, platform-ready short-form clips
• Active on social media and familiar with what performs on TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and X
• Organized and consistent with the ability to maintain a regular posting schedule across multiple platforms
• Fast and self-directed with minimal need for oversight on day-to-day clipping and posting decisions

Nice to Have

• Prior experience clipping or repurposing long-form content for a creator, brand, or media account
• Experience running and growing social media accounts or clipping pages independently
• Familiarity with AI transcription and video review tools
• Background in or passion for creator culture, entertainment, or viral content
