Short-Form Video Editor VA (Part Time)

About the role

You are the agency's go-to video editor. Most of your week is editing short-form video: up to 10 Reels a week, each 30 seconds to 1 minute long. The edits are not complicated. There are no major graphics or special effects. Their style is premium and understated: beautiful b-roll, natural face-to-camera and clean captions. Nothing overly edited. What matters is doing it cleanly, quickly and on brand, every single time. Face-to-camera videos are a big part of the work. You remove long pauses, mistakes and stumbles so the person sounds natural and confident, then add accurate closed captions. The rest of your week is admin support for the team, including client timesheets and monthly social media reporting.

Key responsibilities

• Editing up to 10 Instagram Reels a week, 30 to 60 seconds each, from footage the team films on site
• Cutting footage of construction sites and finished projects into clean, visually beautiful Reels
• Removing long pauses, mistakes and retakes from face-to-camera videos so each video flows naturally
• Adding accurate captions to every video and checking them carefully
• Following the agency's style and each client's brand guidelines on every edit, without needing to be re-briefed
• Delivering edits within two to three days of receiving footage
• Organising raw footage and finished videos in Google Drive
• Supporting the team with ad-hoc tasks, including client timesheets
• Preparing monthly social media reports in Sked Social
• Updates and builds in Shopify, Wix or Squarespace if you have the skills

About you

• A portfolio of at least three short-form videos you edited yourself
• Proven short-form video editing experience for Instagram Reels, TikTok or YouTube Shorts
• Experience editing face-to-camera video so it sounds natural
• Strong written English, as every video has captions that need to be accurate
• The speed to edit around five finished Reels in an eight-hour day without cutting corners
• Reliable internet with a backup connection and backup power, and a computer that handles video editing smoothly
• Experience with CapCut, or proficiency in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro

About us

A small, busy creative agency based in Sydney. They produce social media content for construction and building companies, and film on site two to three times a month: site walkthroughs, finished project montages and face-to-camera videos with their clients. The team is three people with a big workload. They need a dedicated editor who turns that footage into polished Instagram Reels every week, so the team can get back to filming, strategy and their clients.
