Short-Form Video Editor

About the Role

Join an Australian marketing agency as a full-time remote Short-Form Video Editor, dedicated to transforming raw talking head footage into engaging, authoritative short videos that drive lead generation. You'll work primarily with 30-60 second Reels, Shorts, and TikTok content, delivering a high volume of precise, authentic edits on a weekly basis.

Responsibilities

• Edit raw talking head videos into concise 30-60 second short-form formats for platforms like Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and TikTok.
• Incorporate clear, accurately timed captions in both English and Hindi.
• Use AI-powered tools (such as Runway, Pika, Kling, Midjourney, or equivalents) to create supporting B-roll footage; no external B-roll supplied.
• Choose appropriate background music that is calm, professional, and fitting the tone of the content.
• Maintain clean, precise cuts without flashy transitions; prioritize a raw, genuine aesthetic.
• Create custom thumbnails for every video produced.
• Consistently produce at least 20 videos monthly, meeting quality standards and deadlines.

Requirements

• Proficient in Adobe Premiere Pro as the primary editing software.
• Competent in After Effects for crafting motion graphics and text animations.
• Experienced in editing short-form talking head videos specifically for platforms like Reels, Shorts, and TikTok.
• Proven ability to generate B-roll using AI tools.
• Skillful in adding clear, well-timed English and Hindi captions.
• Strong understanding of short-form video pacing; capable of eliminating dead air and filler content.
• Track record of reliably delivering five or more quality videos each week.
• A good ear for selecting calm and authoritative background music, avoiding trendy audio choices.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience editing content for personal brands or agency founders.
• Portfolio showcasing before and after edits highlighting raw footage versus final output.
• Understanding of the contrast between polished corporate videos and raw, authentic authority-focused content.
• Experience editing in Hinglish (a mix of Hindi and English).
• Familiarity with DaVinci Resolve as a secondary editing tool.

Important Notes

• Applications are not accepted via quick apply options on job boards; follow application instructions carefully.
• Applicants lacking experience with AI-generated B-roll, Hindi captioning, or the ability to deliver consistently high volumes of short-form videos need not apply.
• Editing skills limited to mobile apps like CapCut or long-form YouTube content are insufficient.

Work Conditions and Benefits

• Full-time employment, working remotely from home.
• Schedule runs Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 6 PM IST.
• Collaborate directly with the agency owner based in Australia.
• Opportunity to contribute short-form video content that will be published on Australian social media channels weekly.
• Potential for career growth as the agency expands its content volume.
