Job Description
We're looking for a Video Editor to own short-form content production for one of the largest content creators in the vintage clothing space.
You will take pre-selected moments from long-form YouTube videos and turn them into polished, highly engaging vertical videos optimized for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.
This is not a clip-finding role. The moments will be identified for you. Your job is to bring them to life with strong pacing, purposeful sound design, captions, supporting visuals, and the editorial instincts that make people watch to the end.
You will work in parallel with the Lead Editor so that short-form and long-form content are ready around the same time.
If you genuinely enjoy watching and analyzing content, understand why videos hold attention, and can consistently deliver polished edits that match an established style, this role is a strong fit.
Responsibilities
- Edit short-form vertical videos in Adobe Premiere Pro from pre-selected source clips
- Trim provided moments into compelling 45 to 90 second edits with strong hooks and high viewer retention
- Add captions using the provided brand style
- Add sound effects and music to enhance pacing and engagement
- Source relevant supporting images, videos, memes, and screenshots to support storytelling
- Add punch-ins, motion, and visual emphasis where appropriate
- Apply basic color correction and maintain a consistent look across footage
- Match the established editing style and pacing across all deliverables
- Export completed edits and incorporate creative feedback efficiently
Requirements
- Strong proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro with a demonstrated track record of editing short-form vertical content
- Experience editing for TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts with a clear understanding of platform-specific pacing and retention
- Ability to source relevant visual assets independently including images, clips, memes, and screenshots
- Strong communication skills with the ability to receive and implement creative feedback without friction
- Ability to work quickly, manage multiple edits simultaneously, and meet consistent deadlines
- Genuine interest in watching and analyzing YouTube and short-form content, not just editing it
