Job Description

We're looking for a video editor who can turn raw footage into short-form content that actually performs: the kind that stops the scroll in the first 2 seconds and holds attention through the last frame. This isn't a "cut and caption" job. We need someone who understands why certain edits get views and can apply that thinking consistently, at volume, and on short notice. What You'll Do - Edit 5-10 high-quality short-form videos per day across YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and X, often on tight/same-day turnaround - Craft strong hooks in the first 1-3 seconds, with pacing and structure built to retain viewers to the end - Handle audio mixing/leveling and build in visual and verbal CTAs where appropriate - Adapt a single piece of content into multiple formats and aspect ratios optimized for each platform's native feel - Place captions, text overlays, and graphic elements with platform UI in mind (avoiding buttons, profile icons, comment bars, etc. on YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok) - Work from raw footage related to crypto trading and/or motorsport/racing content, applying genre-appropriate pacing, terminology, and visual language - Turn around urgent requests same-day when news, market moves, or race events demand fast content What You Bring - A portfolio that proves it: real examples of edits that drove views/engagement, not just polished reels - Strong command of hook-writing, pacing, and structural storytelling for short-form video - Working knowledge of format specs and best practices across YouTube (Shorts/long-form), Instagram (Reels/Stories), and TikTok - An eye for on-screen design: caption placement, safe zones, timing, and typography that fits each platform - Genuine understanding of crypto trading content and/or racing/motorsport content: ideally both. You should be able to follow the subject matter well enough to make smart editorial calls, not just execute instructions blindly - Speed without sacrificing quality: comfortable producing high output daily under real deadlines - Proficiency in industry-standard editing software (Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut, or similar) - Based in Dubai or a European time zone, able to overlap with our working hours Nice to Have - Experience editing for crypto exchanges, trading educators, or finance creators - Experience with motorsport, racing, or automotive content - Basic motion graphics/animation skills - Fluency in additional languages beyond English
