Description

We’re looking for a story-driven video editor who knows how to turn raw footage into scroll-stopping short-form content.
This isn’t just a cut-and-trim job.
You’ll be editing content for personal brands, agency owners, and podcast hosts — people who need to stand out in crowded feeds. Your job is to make them look polished, sound confident, and feel like the industry expert they are.

Most importantly: you must be fluent in Descript. No Adobe, Final Cut, CapCut, or anything else. Our entire workflow runs on Descript, and we need someone who knows how to get the most out of it — templates, multitrack editing, transcription, AI tools, and more.

What You’ll Be Doing

  1. Podcast Clips
  • Watch long-form podcast interviews (typically 30–60 min)
  • Pull out 2–4 high-value clips per episode for both the host and the guest
  • Focus on moments that:
  • Tell a story
  • Share a valuable tip
  • Offer a belief shift
  • Showcase emotion or personality
  1. Reels-Recorded Content
  • Take videos filmed specifically for Reels/Shorts (typically 60–120 seconds)
  • Clean up rough takes, trim filler words, and build the final story
  • Add zooms, captions, text overlays, B-roll, sound effects, and music (brand guidelines will be provided)
  1. Multi-Brand Editing
  • Edit across a variety of clients with different brand styles (we’ll provide assets and templates)
  • Maintain consistency with tone, pacing, and styling depending on brand identity

Tools You Must Know

  • Descript (Required) – You must be confident editing 100% in Descript. We provide project templates and AI workflows, but you need to know how to:
  • Use multitrack timelines
  • Swap templates
  • Edit video via text
  • Remove filler words/dead space
  • Add music/B-roll/captions inside Descript

Ideal Candidate

  • Has edited 100+ short-form videos for platforms like Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and LinkedIn
  • Understands what makes a video perform well on social (hook, pacing, relatability, etc.)
  • Can identify compelling moments in conversation-based content (storytelling instincts are a must)
  • Is a strong communicator — able to take raw footage and deliver ready-to-publish edits without hand-holding
  • Thrives in a fast-paced, feedback-friendly environment
  • Bonus: Has experience editing for personal brands, creators, coaches, or consultants

What We’ll Provide

  • Descript project templates for each client
  • Brand assets (fonts, logos, styles)
  • Content guidelines + sample videos
  • Clear folder structure + task assignments
  • Weekly or monthly deliverables

Job Type: Part-time
Pay: $5.00 - $10.00 per hour
Expected hours: 10 – 20 per week

Benefits:

  • Professional development assistance

Work Location: Remot
