About the Role
We are looking for a talented Short-Form Video Editor to join our growing media and production team in Felton, Delaware.
We are currently developing a unique digital media platform and are looking for an editor who understands how to turn real-world footage into short, compelling pieces of content that immediately capture attention and keep viewers engaged.
This is not a traditional social media management position. You will not be responsible for managing social media accounts or posting content. However, experience creating and editing short-form content for platforms such as TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts is a major plus because we are looking for someone who understands the editing style, pacing, hooks, and storytelling techniques that have made short-form content so successful.
Strong video editing experience is required.
What You’ll Do
- Edit high-quality short-form videos from a large and constantly growing library of original footage.
- Identify interesting moments, interactions, personalities, and storylines within raw footage and turn them into compelling short-form content.
- Create strong openings and hooks that immediately capture attention.
- Edit with a strong understanding of pacing, retention, storytelling, and emotional impact.
- Use music, sound design, graphics, transitions, effects, zooms, and other editing techniques to enhance content where appropriate.
- Transform longer footage and everyday moments into concise, entertaining stories.
- Work with a wide variety of footage captured throughout our facility every day.
- Collaborate with our video and creative teams on concepts, ideas, and new approaches to content.
- Work within established production standards while still bringing your own creativity and editing instincts to the role.
- Manage multiple videos and deadlines in a fast-moving production environment.
- Experiment with different editing styles and approaches as we continue developing and refining the platform.
- Utilize new editing tools and AI-assisted production technology when appropriate.
What We’re Looking For
Required:
- Strong professional video editing experience.
- A portfolio or examples demonstrating your editing ability.
- Strong understanding of pacing, storytelling, visual composition, music, and sound.
- Proficiency with professional editing software such as Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or similar.
- Ability to review large amounts of footage and recognize which moments have the potential to become great content.
- Strong creative instincts and attention to detail.
- Ability to work efficiently in a high-volume production environment.
- Ability to take direction, incorporate feedback, and collaborate with a larger creative team.
Strongly Preferred:
- Experience editing short-form content for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, or similar platforms.
- Understanding of hooks, audience retention, pacing, and the editing techniques commonly used in successful short-form content.
- Experience working in social media content production, even though this position itself is not a social media management role.
- Experience in entertainment, sports, reality-style, documentary, lifestyle, or personality-driven content.
- Experience working with high volumes of original footage.
- Familiarity with AI-assisted editing and production tools.
Experience with horses or the equine industry is a plus, but not required. We are much more interested in finding someone with strong editing skills, creative instincts, and the ability to recognize and tell a great story.
To Apply
Please submit your resume along with examples of your video editing work or a portfolio.
If you have experience creating short-form content, please include examples that best demonstrate your ability to capture attention, tell a story quickly, and keep viewers engaged.
