• Include dynamic and perfectly synced subtitles.
• Ensure the videos are engaging from the first second and capture the audience’s attention.

• Deliver videos on time and maintain consistent communication during the editing process.

Requirements:

• Proven experience in video editing for short-form content, ideally for social media platforms.
• Strong portfolio of video editing work, with examples of high-engagement videos.
• Ability to follow a brief and script while adding creative flair to make the videos more compelling.
• Experience with adding dynamic subtitles, text overlays, and using visual elements to enhance storytelling.
• Familiarity with trending video styles and editing techniques that boost social media engagement.
• Proficiency in video editing software like Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or similar.
• Basic knowledge of motion graphics and animation is a plus.
• Ability to work with minimal supervision and deliver high-quality edits quickly.

Nice-to-Haves:

• Familiarity with social media algorithms and optimization techniques for maximum reach and engagement.
• Knowledge of audio editing and sound design.

• Explain in a few sentences why you’re the perfect fit for this role.
• Include your availability and expected turnaround time per video.

We’re looking for someone who understands that great editing can be the difference between a video that performs well and one that goes viral. If you’re passionate about creating eye-catching, scroll-stopping videos, we want to hear from you!
