TikTok and Reels Video Editor & Content Creator

Location: Remote

Type: Contractor (Part-Time, :20h/week, with potential to scale)

Reports To: Project Manager & Production Lead

We’re looking for a social-native video editor/ creator who lives on social media (Tik Tok and Reels), understands Gen Z culture, and instinctively gets the tone, pacing, and hooks behind content that performs.
You’re not an execution-only editor — you understand client strategy well enough to independently decide which edits to make, how to frame them, and why theyll work
.

You can review interviews, face-to-camera content, podcasts, or archival footage and determine which moments should become edits without being given clip-by-clip instructions
. You experiment with trends, understand what hooks an audience, and know how to make content feel fresh, relevant, and platform-native. You work fast, use effects intentionally, and can keep up with the pace of daily social production.

You’re deeply tuned into how social formats evolve, especially founder-led and thought-leadership content. This isn’t about chasing trends blindly, but about understanding what works and translating it into clean, compelling edits that feel both intentional and culturally fluent.

If you follow creators like Alex Hormozi, MrBeast, Jay Shetty, Codie Sanchez, Scott Galloway, or Sophia Amoruso; and understand how artists like Dua Lipa,Rosalía,Charli XCX, shape culture through rhythm and visuals, youre aligned with the editorial taste were aiming for.

Were not looking for a basic editor — were looking for someone curious, culturally fluent, fast, creative and reliable
, who truly enjoys editing, and shipping high-quality social content consistently. Someone who can pitch, refine, and deliver ideas that feel fresh and intentional. If you think beyond the edit and know how to shape stories people want to share, wed love to meet you.
