What this person does

Cuts short-form for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts — including vertical reframes from long-form

Edits long-form YouTube: pacing, b-roll, sound design, thumbnails if you need them

Builds ad variation sets — same footage, ten hooks, ten endings

Captions and subtitles, burned-in or SRT

Basic motion graphics: lower thirds, titles, simple animated logos

Manages project files, versions, and handoff so nothing lives on one person’s desktop

What we screen for
01

A portfolio in your format. An editor who cuts wedding films is not an editor who cuts DTC ads, regardless of how good the wedding films are.

02

A paid skills task on real footage — your footage where possible, comparable footage where not.

03

Turnaround under pressure. We give the task a real deadline and see what comes back.

04

English at B2 or above, scored on CEFR. Enough to take direct feedback in a call without a translator in the middle.

05

Revision temperament. We ask about the worst client note they ever got and how they handled it. The answer tells you more than the reel does.

Questions about this role

Yes — we cover it in the scorecard call and screen against it. Editors who’ve worked with North American agencies are used to arriving inside someone else’s system.

[[FILL: give an honest range for short-form and long-form based on your own experience]]

You do, entirely, from day one. [[FILL: confirm this is in your contract template]]

Basic motion, yes. If you need a dedicated motion designer, that’s a separate role and a separate rate — we’d rather tell you that than sell you one person doing two jobs badly.

Ready to hire

Tell us the role. We'll tell you whether we can fill it.

Thirty minutes, no deck. If it isn't a fit, we'll say so on the call instead of following up for six weeks.
