We are looking for an experienced Social Media Reels Video Editor who knows how to create engaging, high-retention, and viral-style short-form videos for platforms such as Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook.

Create highly engaging edits with strong hooks, smooth pacing, captions, transitions, sound effects, and motion graphics.
Understand current social media trends and incorporate them where appropriate.
Add B-roll, animations, zooms, and visual effects to maximize viewer retention.
Optimize videos for each platform's best practices.
Deliver high-quality edits within agreed deadlines.
Collaborate with our content team to continuously improve video performance.
Minimum 2 years of proven experience editing short-form social media content.
A strong portfolio showcasing high-quality Reels or viral-style short videos is mandatory. Applications without a portfolio will not be considered.
Excellent understanding of viewer retention, storytelling, pacing, and attention-grabbing editing techniques.
Proficiency in tools such as Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, or equivalent professional editing software.
Experience creating animated captions, motion graphics, and engaging visual effects.
Ability to work independently and meet deadlines in a remote environment.
Strong communication skills in English.
Experience working with business, educational, or entrepreneurship content.
Basic knowledge of thumbnail design and social media optimization.
Experience analyzing video performance and improving edits based on engagement metrics.
Recorded raw footage.
Content direction and creative brief.
Long-term remote opportunity with consistent work for the right candidate.
Opportunity to work on content viewed by a large audience.

Please send:

Links to your best Reels, Shorts, or TikTok edits (portfolio is required).
A brief introduction about your experience.
Your expected monthly salary or per-video rate.
Important: This role is for experienced editors only. Freshers and applicants without a relevant portfolio will not be considered.
