Were looking to expand our roster of freelance and part-time video editors who specialize in paid social and UGC-style editing.

This is a fast-paced, detail-driven role ideal for editors who know what performs on Meta, TikTok, and YouTube Shortsand can cut engaging narratives that stop the scroll.

  • Scrappy and adaptableyoure just as comfortable in CapCut or Splice as you are in Premiere when speed and simplicity matter.
