Part-Time Video Editor (Social Media & Home Services Niche)

Location: Remote (Must reside in the United States) Job Type: Part-time Schedule: Minimum 4 hours per day, Monday–Friday (CST availability preferred)

About the Role

We are a growing marketing agency looking for a skilled Part-Time Video Editor who understands that social media is a laboratory, not a cinema. We don't produce high-end movie trailers; we produce practical, relatable, and high-converting content for "blue-collar" heroes.

Our clients are in the home services industry (landscapers, plumbers, HVAC, etc.). We need someone who can take raw footage of a job site and turn it into a thumb-stopping video that drives real business results.

What We Are Looking For

  • The "Creator" Mindset: You aren't just a technician; you’re an experimenter. You actively test hooks, pacing, and trends to see what actually stops the scroll. You understand the difference between "corporate" editing and "social-native" editing.
  • Home Services Experience: You have a proven track record of creating content for home service or blue-collar clients. You know how to make "dirty" jobs look professional and engaging.
  • U.S. Residency: Candidates must currently reside in the United States. This is required for time zone alignment and a deep understanding of the U.S. consumer market.
  • Platform Mastery: You live and breathe TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts. You understand the "vibe" of each platform and how to edit specifically for them.

Responsibilities

  • Edit Short-Form Video: Create engaging content for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook.
  • Conversion-Focused Editing: Use creative techniques, motion graphics, text overlays, and transitions to drive engagement rather than just "looking pretty."
  • Content Repurposing: Strategically chop long-form footage into punchy, high-impact short clips.
  • Brand Adaptation: Follow specific brand guidelines while adapting your style to fit various home-service clients.
  • Team Collaboration: Meet deadlines and communicate effectively with our remote team.

Requirements

  • Portfolio: A reel or samples of work specifically showing short-form social media content (bonus points for blue-collar/home service examples).
  • Software Proficiency: Expert-level skills in Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Final Cut Pro, or CapCut (Desktop).
  • Storytelling & Pacing: A strong sense of how to hook a viewer in the first 3 seconds.
  • Independence: Ability to work autonomously and manage your time efficiently without constant hand-holding.

Hours & Availability

  • Part-time role with a flexible schedule.
  • Requirement: Minimum of 4 hours per day, Monday through Friday, ideally within Central Standard Time (CST) business hours for team syncs.

How to Apply

Please submit your resume and a link to your portfolio/reel.

In your application, please briefly describe one "experiment" or "test" you’ve tried with a piece of content (e.g., changing a hook, testing a caption style) and what the result was.
