Senior Short-Form Video Editor

Role Overview

We are hiring a senior editor focused exclusively on short-form video. This position is for someone with at least 3 years of practical experience editing Reels, TikToks, LinkedIn Shorts, and YouTube Shorts. Experience in other formats such as general video editing, long-form YouTube content, or wedding films will not be counted for this role.

This is an execution-focused position rather than a creative direction role. Source footage, timestamps, and hook guidance will be provided. Your responsibility is to deliver polished edits with sharp cuts, strong pacing, well-timed captions, and a professional finish consistently and without repeated instruction.

The content you will work on includes talking-head videos and podcast interviews for high-profile coaches and consultants in the US market. The material is business-oriented and authority-led. It does not involve fitness content, entertainment-style edits, or heavily effects-driven work, so candidates whose portfolios are centered on those styles are unlikely to be a fit.

What Success Looks Like

• You can review a long podcast recording and quickly isolate the most compelling 90-second segment without being told exactly where it is.
• Your captions are concise, well-designed, and perfectly matched to the timing of the video.
• You understand how editing choices differ across platforms such as LinkedIn and TikTok, and can clearly explain those differences.
• You consistently deliver work on schedule and maintain dependable turnaround times.
• You can show a portfolio of clips that produced real outcomes, not just visually attractive edits.

Responsibilities

• Edit short-form videos for platforms such as Reels, TikTok, LinkedIn Shorts, and YouTube Shorts.
• Turn long podcast and talking-head footage into concise, engaging clips.
• Apply clean cuts, strong pacing, and polished caption styling.
• Follow provided timestamps and hook direction accurately.
• Deliver edits reliably within agreed timelines.
• Work asynchronously and communicate clearly with the team.

Requirements

• At least 3 years of experience editing short-form content specifically.
• Strong command of CapCut and/or Premiere Pro at an expert level.
• A portfolio is mandatory, with links to actual clips and context about performance where possible.
• Experience working with coaches, consultants, or personal brands is a plus.
• Reliable internet connection and ability to work with fast turnaround times.
• Comfortable with asynchronous communication.

Application Instructions

Applicants should share a portfolio link and a short summary of the most relevant experience. The message must also include the word Mango to confirm that the full brief was read carefully.

Work Schedule and Growth

The role begins at 14 hours per week. If the right fit is found, this position may expand into a full-time role as the business continues to grow.
