About the Role

We are looking for a highly skilled and detail-oriented Video Editor to support our Australian clients in creating high-performing short-form content.

Key Responsibilities

• Edit short-form videos (15–60 seconds) for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts

• Repurpose long-form content into multiple short-form clips
• Implement strong hooks (first 1–3 seconds) and retention-focused pacing
• Take feedback and revise edits quickly and accurately
• Stay updated with social media trends, viral formats, and platform updates

Requirements

• 3–5+ years of experience in video editing
• Strong portfolio focused on short-form content (required)
• Solid understanding of social media performance, attention span, and viewer behaviour
• Proficient in Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, CapCut, or similar tools
• Experience with After Effects is a plus
• Detail-oriented, reliable, and able to follow direction precisely
• Comfortable working remotely full-time (AU hours)

What We're Looking For

• Strong attention to detail and quality
• Ability to create content that drives engagement and retention
• Fast turnaround without compromising output quality
• Proactive mindset with ownership of work

Bonus Skills

• Experience working with agencies or personal brands
• Background in direct response or marketing content
• Skills in motion graphics, storytelling, or scripting

Output Expectations

• 5–15 short-form videos per week
• Fast turnaround times
• Consistent, high-quality output
• Organized file management and naming conventions

Why Join Us?

• Full-time, stable remote role
• Work with Australian clients
• Performance-driven environment with growth opportunities

How to Apply

Send your application to with:

• Portfolio (short-form content only)
• 3–5 best edited reels
• A short note on your approach to editing for engagement

Final Note

If you're simply cutting clips and adding music, this role isn't for you.

We're looking for someone who truly understands:

• Attention
• Retention
• Performance
