Job description

We're looking for a Social Media Clipper 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

If you have good instincts for viral content, can move fast through long-form video to find the moments that matter, and want a focused full-time role inside a creator's content operation, this role gives you the volume and the direct impact to do your best work.

Each stage is designed to evaluate your fit for the role while giving you insights into our company culture and expectations. We'll keep you informed throughout the process and provide feedback at each step.
