The brief
A social-content agency is hiring a full-time reels editor to turn raw footage into short-form videos that grab attention in the first seconds and keep it. This is a sequencing-led role: you decide which sentences stay, which get cut, and the order ideas appear — captions, B-roll and music are the baseline, not the job.
What you'll do
- Edit raw podcast clips, YouTube videos, reel shoots and scripted talking-head footage into tight reels
- Own the full sequence: selection, pacing, structure and storytelling flow
- Craft fast hooks that work for both the creator's core audience and new viewers
- Add captions, B-roll and music as a baseline
- Take ownership of outcomes — revisit and fix an edit if a sequence underperforms
What we're looking for
- Strong short-form sequencing and storytelling instincts for reels
- Experience turning raw talking-head and podcast footage into tight, high-retention edits
- Confident judgment over pacing, structure and narrative flow
- Solid captions, B-roll and music skills as a given
- An ownership mindset about the performance of each edit
How it works
This is a full-time, remote position where editors craft each piece start to finish and own the result. Apply through iince with your reel and relevant short-form samples. We review every application and, when you're a fit, introduce you to the client.
How applying works
