About this opportunity

We're looking for a Long and Short Form Video Editor to watch YouTube content from a fast-growing social media creator, identify the best clippable moments, edit them into short-form clips, and run the creator's clipping pages across social platforms. This is a full-time, dedicated role for one creator's content operation.

You will spend most of your time watching videos, finding the moments that hit, clipping and editing them into shareable short-form content, and posting and managing the accounts where those clips live. You do not need to be a professional editor or have a marketing degree. You need good instincts for what makes a YouTube moment worth clipping, the ability to move fast, and the discipline to stay on top of a consistent posting schedule. AI tools for transcription and content review are encouraged. If you are plugged into creator culture, understand what performs on short-form platforms, and want a focused, high-output role inside a growing content operation, this role is a strong fit.

Why You'll Want to Join
  • You will be paid in USD (bi-monthly: every 15th and 30th)
  • Paid Time Off in accordance with company policy
  • Observance of Holidays per company guidelines
  • 100% remote setup so you can work wherever you're most productive
  • This role requires availability during US business hours
  • Work directly inside the content operation of a viral social media creator with a large and growing audience
  • High-output, focused role with real creative input into how the creator's content reaches new audiences
What You'll Work On

Content Clipping and Identification

  • Watch YouTube videos and long-form content to identify the best clippable moments including funny, surprising, emotional, controversial, or highly shareable sequences
  • Use AI transcription and review tools to move through content faster and surface moments efficiently
  • Develop a strong instinct for what works on short-form platforms and what will stop the scroll

Short-Form Video Editing

  • Edit identified moments into polished short-form clips ready for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and X
  • Add captions, cuts, pacing adjustments, and light visual treatments to make clips platform-ready
  • Maintain a consistent output of clips without sacrificing quality

Social Page Management

  • Run and manage the creator's clipping pages across relevant platforms
  • Post consistently to a defined schedule and keep accounts active and growing
  • Monitor basic performance metrics and flag what is working to inform future clipping decisions
  • Engage with comments and community interactions on clipping pages as needed
What You Bring
  • Genuine understanding of what makes a YouTube or long-form video moment worth clipping; good instincts here matter more than a formal background
  • Comfortable watching and processing high volumes of video content efficiently, including using AI tools for transcription and review
  • Basic video editing skills with the ability to produce clean, platform-ready short-form clips
  • Active on social media and familiar with what performs on TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and X
  • Organized and consistent with the ability to maintain a regular posting schedule across multiple platforms
  • Fast and self-directed with minimal need for oversight on day-to-day clipping and posting decisions
Nice to Have
  • Prior experience clipping or repurposing long-form content for a creator, brand, or media account
  • Experience running and growing social media accounts or clipping pages independently
  • Familiarity with AI transcription and video review tools
  • Background in or passion for creator culture, entertainment, or viral content
How to Apply

Please include:

  • Your updated resume
  • A portfolio link or examples showing clips or short-form content you have created or pages you have managed
  • A short Loom video (1 to 2 minutes) introducing yourself, describing your experience with content clipping or social media management, and explaining what you think makes a YouTube moment worth clipping
  • Only candidates who submit both examples and a Loom video will be moved to the next step of the hiring process.

    If you have good instincts for viral content, can move fast through long-form video to find the moments that matter, and want a focused full-time role inside a creator's content operation, this role gives you the volume and the direct impact to do your best work.
