Location: Remote
Type: Contract
Department: Content
Your Role
A 30-second clip is often the very first time someone encounters the gospel. Someone scrolling TikTok at 2am, struggling with anxiety or addiction, stops on one of your edits. For the first time, they hear truth that changes their life. You are the person who crafts that moment. That is the weight and the privilege of this role.
You own the short-form pipeline end to end. You ship 20-30 videos per month across TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, pulling from long-form source content and turning it into clips that stop the scroll and drive real growth.
What You'll Own
High-volume short-form editing: 20-30 polished clips per month, consistently on time and on brand
Storytelling from raw footage: find the moment, build the arc, make it land in under 60 seconds
Creative enhancement: motion graphics, kinetic text, music selection, and sound design that elevate every clip
Content mining: dig through the full library to surface evergreen moments and underused footage worth reshaping
Trend analysis: stay ahead of platform formats, sounds, and hooks that drive reach on TikTok, Reels, and Shorts
Performance analysis: review clip-level data, identify what is working, and feed those insights back into your edits
Creative ideation: bring concepts and angles to the table, not just execution
What Success Looks Like (First 90 Days)
Objective 1: Deliver viral-ready clips that grow our reach
Contribute to hitting 75M-100M+ monthly views across platforms
Average views per clip: 300K-400K is good, 500K-750K is great, 1M+ is beast mode
Objective 2: Execute with speed and precision
100% on-time delivery rate for all final edits
Less than 3 revision rounds per video after the first month
This Role Is NOT For You If
You cannot point to clips you have personally edited that broke 1M+ views
You need heavy direction to find the story inside raw footage
You treat short-form as a lesser format rather than its own craft
You edit to finish, not to stop the scroll
High volume without quality dropoff is not something you have proven you can sustain
You are unfamiliar with how TikTok, Reels, and Shorts each reward different formats and pacing
Non-Negotiable Requirements
A portfolio of viral short-form work with real view counts attached
Proven ability to build compelling stories from raw, unscripted footage
Deep platform knowledge: TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts are not interchangeable to you
Expert-level Adobe Premiere Pro
Proficiency in ClickUp, Frame.io, and Google Drive as daily production tools
Compensation
Phase 1 (60 days): $50-$100 per video based on skill level, plus performance bonuses.
Phase 2: Monthly retainer of $2,000-$4,000 plus bonuses based on output and performance.
