Job Description

BrightBeam is seeking a talented Short-Form Video Editor to join a rapidly growing personal media brand. This part-time role, initially 20 hours per week, is instrumental in shaping the brand's online presence and directly supporting its paid media initiatives.

In this position, you will be responsible for managing a daily short-form editing pipeline. This involves cutting new variations of high-performing reels using proven audio, integrating B-roll, and adding dynamic motion text and light animation. A key aspect of the role is ensuring every edit is platform-native, keeping repurposed content fresh and original across various social media channels.

The ideal candidate possesses a deep understanding of United States internet culture and trends, enabling them to recognize why certain videos perform and translate that insight into compelling visual variations. You will work closely with the content lead and social distribution operator, maintaining an organized asset system and adhering to an established workflow. The priority is consistent, high-quality output delivered at a daily volume, with the potential for this role to expand into a full-time position.

Key Responsibilities

• Produce new variations of high-performing reels, including new visuals over proven audio, additional B-roll, and adjusted pacing and formats.
• Support new short-form edits as the pipeline expands, with strong hooks, tight pacing, and a platform-native feel.
• Vary each version sufficiently to ensure repurposed content is not identified as unoriginal by the platforms.
• Add animated text treatments and graphic elements within edits that align with the brand's established style.
• Produce light animated assets for reels as required.
• Study the brand's highest-performing content and current platform trends, and apply that understanding to every edit.
• Maintain creative freshness by identifying when a format is losing effectiveness and proposing the next direction.
• Uphold quality as the primary standard: platform-native feel in every deliverable, at every level of volume.
• Maintain organized project files and version control within the client's Air asset library.
• Sustain reliable throughput that supports a multiple-reels-per-day publishing cadence.
• Recommend new formats and tests proactively rather than waiting for direction.

Qualifications

• Two or more years editing short-form social video for creators, personal brands, or media companies.

• A portfolio of short-form work.

• Applicants must be able to explain the objective, decisions, and results behind selected edits.

• A strong understanding of United States internet culture, trends, and platform-native style.

• Proficiency with CapCut, Premiere Pro, After Effects, or an equivalent editing stack.

• Hardware capable of smooth high-resolution editing and rapid turnaround.

• Practical use of AI tools as part of a disciplined production workflow.

• Strong written English for coordination and version documentation.

• High ownership, reliable follow-through, and the ability to work independently in a remote environment.

• Animation and motion graphics capability beyond basic text treatments (preferred).

• Experience growing creator or personal brand accounts through repurposed content (preferred).

• Thumbnail, carousel, or static graphic capability (preferred).

• Familiarity with trial reel mechanics and organic distribution (preferred).

• Benefits & Perks

• Potential for full-time role as output scales

• Remote work environment

• Flexible schedule aligned with U.S. working hours

• Compensation commensurate with experience and performance

• About This Role

• The short-form video landscape is experiencing explosive growth, driven by platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels. This role is crucial for a rapidly scaling personal media brand, directly impacting paid media success through high-quality, platform-native content. You will be responsible for creating multiple daily variations of top-performing reels, leveraging proven audio, and incorporating B-roll, motion text, and light animation. Your expertise in understanding United States internet culture will ensure each edit resonates with audiences and maintains a fresh, original feel across platforms. This position demands a keen eye for detail and a strategic approach to content repurposing, making every edit a commercial asset.
