Requirements:

• 3+ years editing for creators/brands (talking‑head + short‑form).

• Strong English; comfortable giving and receiving direct feedback.
• 40 hrs/week, with 4+ hours overlap with UK time.

• Cut long‑form into shorts for YouTube Shorts, Reels, TikTok, LinkedIn.

What you’ll own over time (systems & leverage):

• Build and maintain a clip database tagged by topic, hook, and performance.
• Create and evolve editing templates (subtitles, animations, transitions).
• Produce a weekly content report: top‑performing videos/shorts, hooks, and recommendations.

Compensation:

• 2,200–2,800 USD/month depending on skill.
