Job description
Short-Form Video Editor — Alternative Investment Brand (Ongoing)
We're a private and alternative investment firm producing daily short-form content for Instagram Reels and Facebook, plus paid Meta ads. Our content spans a range of strategies — real assets, mineral funds, energy and drilling, AI/data-center infrastructure, and private debt and income offerings. We shoot talking-head clips of our CEO on an iPhone — you turn them into polished, on-brand, scroll-stopping videos.
What you'll do:
- Edit talking-head footage into 30–60 second vertical (9:16) videos
- Add animated captions (word-by-word highlight style) — 80% of viewers watch muted
- Place a bold hook/text on screen in the first second
- Add punch-ins, clean transitions, and relevant b-roll
- Apply our brand guide precisely (colors, fonts, logo, intro/outro)
- Deliver 9:16 for Reels/ads and 1:1 crops for feed on select clips
- Turn around an initial batch of ~30 clips + 4 ads, then ongoing weekly volume
You must have:
- A reel of finance, investing, coaching, or personal-brand short-form work
- Strong caption/motion-graphics skills (CapCut, Premiere Pro, and/or After Effects)
- Ability to follow a brand guide exactly, with minimal back-and-forth
- Solid written English and reasonable U.S.-timezone overlap for feedback
Bonus: experience editing Meta/direct-response ad creative for financial or high-consideration brands.
Paid test (we pay for your time): Shortlisted candidates get one 60-second raw clip and our brand guide. Edit it into a finished Reel — captions, hook, one b-roll cut, our branding. Best test wins the ongoing role.
To apply: share 2–3 examples of short-form/vertical videos you've edited, and tell us the tools you use and your typical turnaround per clip.
