## **About the Role**
We are looking for a **self-directed, highly skilled, and proactive Video Editor** who can create high-performing content for a **personal founder brand** and a **skin/e-commerce product line**.
Your biggest value in this role is your ability to **think for yourself**, make creative decisions without being micromanaged, and continuously learn modern editing, storytelling, and direct response techniques.
The goal: **give the founder real leverage** by taking raw assets and turning them into polished videos that drive growth, engagement, and sales — consistently.
You should understand that great editing is not just technical — it’s strategic. You’ll be repurposing long-form content, building stories, improving the hook, and adding direct-response angles that make the content banger-level.
## **Key Responsibilities**
* Edit high-quality short-form videos for Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.
* Independently identify the best clips, hooks, and angles to use without needing step-by-step instructions.
* Take talking-head footage and turn it into dynamic, high-retention videos.
* Clip, repurpose, and format podcast segments for short-form distribution.
* Review raw assets and **proactively recommend** stronger edits, storylines, or pacing.
* Build and follow direct response–style scripts when provided.
* Add captions, animations, and transitions using modern editing trends.
* Edit both **personal brand storytelling videos** and **product-focused e-commerce content**.
* Apply (or learn quickly) direct response marketing principles: hooks, pattern interrupts, CTAs, audience psychology.
* Ensure high-quality English for captions, text, and storytelling.
* Manage your own workflow, meet deadlines, and maintain consistent weekly output.
## **Qualifications**
* 2+ years of short-form video editing experience.
* Strong portfolio showing both personal brand and/or e-commerce editing.
* Proven ability to **take ownership** of edits without constant supervision.
* Excellent command of English for captions and storytelling.
* Understanding of modern content pacing, trends, and retention strategies.
* Experience creating content for founders, influencers, or DTC brands is a plus.
* Willing to learn direct response marketing and apply it to edits.
* Strong instinct for storytelling, hooks, pacing, and viewer psychology.
* Organized, reliable, and output-driven.
## **What We’re Looking For Above All**
* **A thinker, not a task-taker.**
* Someone who can watch raw footage and independently decide what will perform best.
* **A fast learner.**
* Someone who studies viral content, improves quickly, and implements feedback fast.
* **Someone who brings leverage.**
* You don’t just edit — you help make the content _perform_.
* **High English fluency.**
* Clear, clean captions and natural storytelling.
* **Someone who cares about quality _and_ speed.**
* Consistent weekly output is essential.
