About
We're looking for a Short-form Editor to turn raw footage into scroll-stopping vertical Shorts for a YouTube channel. You'll be responsible for cutting long-form recordings into tight, high-retention clips with punchy hooks, clean captions, and pacing built for the Shorts feed. This is a remote role, so you'll need to work independently, hit agreed turnaround times, and communicate clearly over async messaging. The strongest candidates have a feel for what makes a viewer stop scrolling in the first three seconds, and can show that instinct in a portfolio of past short-form work.

Skills and requirements
Proven experience editing short-form vertical video (YouTube Shorts, Reels, or TikTok), with a portfolio or sample clips Strong instinct for hooks, pacing, and retention in the first few seconds of a clip Comfortable working in a professional editing suite of your choice (e.g., Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or CapCut) Ability to source and repurpose clips from longer footage into standalone, self-contained Shorts Skilled at adding captions, subtitles, and on-screen text that stay legible on mobile Reliable with deadlines and able to handle feedback rounds without close supervision Clear, responsive async communication and organized file/project handoff
