About the Role
We are looking for an experienced Social Media Reels Video Editor who knows how to create engaging, high-retention, and viral-style short-form videos for platforms such as Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook.
This is not an entry-level position. We already record the raw footage—you will transform it into compelling content that captures attention within the first few seconds and keeps viewers watching until the end.
Responsibilities
* Edit short-form videos for Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook.
* Create highly engaging edits with strong hooks, smooth pacing, captions, transitions, sound effects, and motion graphics.
* Understand current social media trends and incorporate them where appropriate.
* Add B-roll, animations, zooms, and visual effects to maximize viewer retention.
* Optimize videos for each platform's best practices.
* Deliver high-quality edits within agreed deadlines.
* Collaborate with our content team to continuously improve video performance.
Requirements
* Minimum 2 years of proven experience editing short-form social media content.
* A strong portfolio showcasing high-quality Reels or viral-style short videos is mandatory. Applications without a portfolio will not be considered.
* Excellent understanding of viewer retention, storytelling, pacing, and attention-grabbing editing techniques.
* Proficiency in tools such as Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, or equivalent professional editing software.
* Experience creating animated captions, motion graphics, and engaging visual effects.
* Ability to work independently and meet deadlines in a remote environment.
* Strong communication skills in English.
Nice to Have
* Experience working with business, educational, or entrepreneurship content.
* Basic knowledge of thumbnail design and social media optimization.
* Experience analyzing video performance and improving edits based on engagement metrics.
What We Provide
* Recorded raw footage.
* Content direction and creative brief.
* Long-term remote opportunity with consistent work for the right candidate.
* Opportunity to work on content viewed by a large audience.
Location
Remote (Work from anywhere)
How to Apply
Please send:
* Your updated CV.
* Links to your best Reels, Shorts, or TikTok edits (portfolio is required).
* A brief introduction about your experience.
* Your expected monthly salary or per-video rate.
Important: This role is for experienced editors only. Freshers and applicants without a relevant portfolio will not be considered.
