About this role

Demo role — this is not an active vacancy. We are looking for a remote video editor and content producer who can turn long-form interviews, podcasts, and educational videos into engaging short-form content for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok, and LinkedIn.

What you'll do

Identify compelling hooks, story arcs, and high-retention moments from long-form recordings

Edit 5–8 short-form videos per week for multiple social platforms

Add captions, motion graphics, music, cutaways, and supporting visuals that improve clarity and engagement

Adapt edits, pacing, framing, and packaging for different platforms and audience behaviors

Maintain consistent brand style, naming conventions, asset hygiene, and file organization across projects

Use retention and engagement signals to refine editing choices over time

Collaborate with stakeholders to iterate quickly on creative direction, messaging, and publishing priorities

What we offer

A remote, async-friendly working style for creative collaboration

The opportunity to shape repeatable short-form content workflows and quality standards

Cross-functional exposure to brand, recruiting, and product storytelling use cases

A clear example role designed to demonstrate how structured hiring workflows can be drafted and reviewed in Hirona

Requirements

Strong short-form video editing skills with a clear sense of hook, pacing, narrative compression, and audience retention

Experience turning long-form source material into concise, high-performing social clips

Proficiency with modern editing tools and captioning / motion-graphics workflows

Ability to tailor creative output for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok, and LinkedIn rather than using one cut everywhere

Good judgment on brand consistency, visual storytelling, and content quality

Reliable remote collaboration habits, including communication, version control, and organized file management

Comfort using performance insights and feedback loops to improve future edits

Nice to have

Experience editing founder, interview, podcast, or educational content

Familiarity with thumbnail, headline, or social packaging best practices for distribution

Basic design sensibility for simple motion graphics, templates, and reusable content systems

Experience working in fast-moving startup or content-led environments
