Video Editor (Freelance or Contract) -- Short-Form with Cinematic StorytellingWe're looking for a highly skilled and experienced Video Editor to join our creative team. The focus is primarily on short-form content (Reels, TikToks, YouTube Shorts), with some long-form edits. But we're not looking for quick, templated edits or flashy engagement tricks---we're looking for someone who understands how to craft cinematic, story-driven content that feels elevated, intentional, and true to the brand.

What We're Looking For:Strong, proven experience editing short-form content with a refined, lifestyle-driven, cinematic approach

Excellent storytelling instincts, with a keen eye for pacing, rhythm, and emotional flow

Proficiency in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, or similar professional editing software

Advanced color grading experience is a must---our content relies heavily on cohesive and elevated visuals

Ability to work quickly and efficiently without sacrificing quality---we have a high volume of edits coming in

Bonus if you're comfortable with subtle, tasteful audio design or motion graphics when needed

Must be organized, communicative, and able to consistently meet deadlines

What We're NOT Looking For:Cheesy, overdone short-form content loaded with gimmicky sound effects, rapid-fire jump cuts, or flashy text overlays

Talking head edits that rely on viral engagement hacks rather than intentional, elevated storytelling

Nice to Have:Portfolio showcasing relevant work (required)Willingness to complete a short test edit to demonstrate style and alignment

This is a great opportunity to join a team producing high-end content that stands out from the noise---real stories, beautiful visuals, and meaningful edits.
