Job description
Role: Short-Form Video Editor + Light Marketing Ops (Content Operations)
Type: Remote / Part-time to start, potential to grow
Platforms: TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts
Volume: High-output (up to ~28 videos/week)
What you’ll do (editing)
Edit short-form vertical videos (60-180 seconds)
Cut aggressively for retention (remove pauses, tighten wording, pattern-interrupt pacing)
Add accurate captions/subtitles (clean, readable, and timed well)
Add on-screen text (hook reinforcement, key takeaways, simple CTAs)
Light audio cleanup (levels, remove harshness where possible)
Deliver platform-ready exports (1080x1920, correct codec, consistent naming)
Content ops + basic marketing tasks (within content only)
Create 2–5 hook variations from the same raw clip when appropriate
Maintain a repeatable editing “style” (templates, fonts, subtitle rules)
Organise assets in Drive (raw → edited → final; consistent file naming)
Weekly feedback loop: quick notes on what’s working (watch time, retention cues, hook patterns)
Optional (only if you’re strong at it): suggest simple on-screen text angles and title frames
What you will NOT do
No DM/comment management
No full social media management unless separately agreed
No heavy graphic design or complex motion graphics required (simple + clean wins)
Must-haves
Proven short-form editing skill (show examples)
Strong instinct for pacing and retention (hooks in the first 1–2 seconds)
Excellent subtitle accuracy (spelling, timing, readability)
Reliable turnaround and comfort with high volume
Organised workflow + ability to follow a style guide
CapCut experience
Nice-to-haves
Understanding of TikTok creative culture (text overlays, pattern interrupts, quick cuts)
Basic A/B testing mindset (small tweaks, track outcomes)
Tools
CapCut, Google Drive/Dropbox, Microsoft SharePoint
Workflow expectations (example)
I deliver raw videos daily
You return edited drafts within 24 hours (depending on agreed volume)
1 revision round included per video (tight feedback loop)
