Report progress so we can maintain a seamless workflow * Work closely with the content team to execute a cohesive cross\-platform strategy * Communicate proactively—flag blockers early, ask smart questions, share insights * Respond to Slack messages within 4 hours during working hours; participate in weekly team syncs **Requirements:** **Technical Skills** * Expert proficiency in Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci, or equivalent editing software * Strong eye for pacing, storytelling, and emotional beats * Experience with subtitles, captions, and basic motion graphics * Deep understanding of what performs on each platform (TikTok, Reels, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn) **Experience** * 2\+ years editing short\-form content for social media * Proven track record of driving engagement—show us clips that performed * Bonus: Experience with podcast/interview content, leadership/business content, or real estate **Mindset** * Data\-driven: You interpret analytics to refine your editing choices * Speed with quality: Comfortable with fast turnaround without sacrificing craft * Ownership mentality: You treat projects like they're yours, not just assigned tasks * Curious and coachable: You ask "why did that work?" and actually implement feedback **Results:** **Within 30 Days:** * Onboarded into our systems (Slack, Notion, file management) * Producing 5\-10 clips per week at brand standard * First\-approval rate of 70%\+ (edits need minimal revision) **Within 60 Days:** * Producing 10\-15 clips per week at full capacity * Maintain first\-approval rate of 85%\+ (edits need minimal revision) * Demonstrating clear understanding of what performs for our audiences **Within 90 Days:** * Operating independently with minimal oversight * Content performing above baseline engagement metrics * Proactively surfacing creative ideas and trend opportunities * Ready to contribute to broader content strategy discussions **Location:** Fully remote—work from anywhere with reliable WiFi **Compensation:** $21,600 to $28,800\+ USD/year based on volume output, skill \& experience. 30\-60 day paid trial period to ensure mutual fit.
