As a Short-Form Content Editor, you will be responsible for transforming long-form content into high-performing short-form videos across platforms such as TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.
This role sits at the intersection of creative execution and performance. You are not just editing clips. You are shaping narratives, testing hooks, and helping scale distribution through consistent, high-quality output.

Continuously review content performance and apply learnings to improve future output.
Collaborate closely with the Narrative Team and content leads through regular check-ins and feedback loops.

Sneak-Peek into Our Internal Operating Values
We Only Work With A-Players
If you've ever been the strongest person on a weak team, you know exactly what that costs. Carrying people who should be carrying themselves. Waiting on work that should have been done yesterday. Watching standards slip because nobody in the room is willing to be the one who says something.
We built Consulting so that never happens here.
Every department is built around A-players, people who raise the bar just by being on the team & make everyone around them faster. Not everyone walks in at that level & that's fine. Staying below it is not. If you have gaps but real trajectory, you'll get coached hard & early. If you slow execution & drain energy, you won't stay, because at that point keeping you is our failure as much as yours.
You Shouldn't Apply If
You want a normal 9-5. This role is NOT easy & requires an all-in mentality. We're looking for an applicant who will put in the work that others won't.
You are married to your ideas or cannot take creative criticism.
You want a part-time gig and the ability to work with multiple clients.
