Short Form Video Editor

Short-Form Video Editor

At CBT News, we cover one of the most dynamic industries in the country — Retail Automotive. Our audience is made up of dealers, executives, and industry professionals who expect content that's sharp, credible, and worth their time.

We're looking for a short-form video editor who gets it — not just technically, but instinctively. Someone who watches a rough cut and immediately knows what's dragging, what needs more punch, and what's going to make someone stop scrolling instead of blowing past it.

This isn't a one-off gig. We're looking for a long-term creative partner — someone who wants consistent work, a reliable project flow, and the chance to become a real part of how CBT News shows up across every platform we're on.
