Short-Form Video LinkedIn TikTok YouTube Shorts

Turn expert conversations into high-performing video content.

We're hiring a Podcast Video Editor to repurpose long-form B2B podcasts into scroll-stopping short-form content across LinkedIn, TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts. If you know how to extract the best 60 seconds from a 60-minute interview-and make it look polished, branded, and platform-native-you're our ideal candidate.

This is a fully remote, full-time role for a technically skilled editor with a sharp editorial eye and a deep understanding of what drives engagement across today's video platforms.

What You'll Do
  • Cut short-form video clips from long-form B2B podcast recordings

  • Add motion graphics, captions, transitions, and brand elements

  • Edit to match platform-specific formats, pacing, and tone

  • Collaborate with content leads to identify key moments worth amplifying

  • Iterate based on analytics and performance insights

  • Manage deadlines across multiple projects in a fast-moving workflow

What You Bring
  • 2-4 years of video editing experience, with a short-form or social-first portfolio

  • Fluency with editing tools like Adobe Premiere, After Effects, Final Cut Pro, etc.

  • Strong sense of visual storytelling, especially for business/professional content

  • Understanding of TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels formats

  • Ability to stay organized, hit deadlines, and work independently

  • Available to work during U.S. time zones

Bonus Points
  • Experience editing B2B, SaaS, or startup-focused content

  • Familiarity with audience growth strategies on LinkedIn or YouTube

  • Strong editorial instincts and confidence working with raw conversation footage

We connect top talent with vetted employers, competitive pay, and real growth opportunities.
