- Edit talking head videos (15–60 seconds) with clean transitions, captions, sound design, and motion graphics.
- Select the most engaging clips from long podcast episodes (ability to spot viral potential).
- Add subtitles, kinetic typography, emojis, memes, GIFs, b-roll, and stock footage where relevant.
- Incorporate brand elements (logos, fonts, color palettes, intros/outros).
- Optimize videos for social media algorithms (hooks, pacing, retention tactics).
- Collaborate with the team to meet weekly deadlines and handle feedback efficiently.
- Stay updated on short-form video trends, editing styles, and platform-specific best practices.

- Strong understanding of storytelling and pacing to make videos binge-worthy.
- Excellent communication and ability to take constructive feedback.
Nice to Have
