About the Role

We are seeking a creative and detail-oriented Video Editor who specializes in short-form content editing for podcasts and talking head videos. The ideal candidate should have a strong sense of storytelling, editing flow, and social-media-first video formatting (Reels, Shorts, TikTok). You will work closely with our content and creative teams to transform raw recordings into polished, engaging, and viral-ready video assets.

Key Responsibilities

• Edit raw podcast episodes into short-form clips (30–90 seconds) optimized for Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and TikTok.
• 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.

Skills & Requirements

• Proven experience editing short-form content, podcasts, and talking head videos.
• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, or DaVinci Resolve (Final Cut also considered).
• Knowledge of motion graphics, typography, and meme culture for enhancing engagement.
• Ability to maintain fast turnaround times without compromising quality.
• Familiarity with AI editing tools (Descript, Opus Clip, etc.) is a plus.
• Strong understanding of storytelling and pacing to make videos binge-worthy.
• Excellent communication and ability to take constructive feedback.

Nice to Have

• Experience editing in styles similar to Iman Gadzhi, Ali Abdaal, or modern podcast channels.
• Basic knowledge of audio mixing (improving voice clarity, removing background noise).
• Interest in social media growth and personal branding content.

Compensation

• Competitive monthly salary or project-based rate (based on experience).
• Opportunities for performance bonuses and growth within the agency.

Application Process

Please submit:

• Your portfolio/showreel (with examples of short-form/podcast edits).
