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.

- Solid 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.
