About
As a Video Content Creator, you’ll turn raw ideas and footage into scroll-stopping content. From long-form videos to short-form reels, you’ll handle the process end-to-end—planning, editing, captioning, and publishing—using AI and new tools to move fast and keep quality high. You’ll get direction, then think for yourself to get it done without hand-holding. Responsibilities Edit long-form video content (YouTube, podcasts, trainings, etc.) and repurpose it into short-form clips for Reels, TikTok, and Shorts. Create and/or refine transcripts for videos and use them to build hooks, captions, and on-screen text. Use AI tools (e.g., Descript, Opus, Captions, etc.) to speed up editing, clipping, captions, and repurposing. Add subtitles, simple motion graphics, and on-brand text overlays. Follow brand guidelines and instructions, then independently fill in the gaps to complete the project. Optimize videos for each platform (hooks, aspect ratios, lengths, titles, thumbnails). Organize and manage video assets (footage, exports, thumbnail files, etc.). Deliver content on time and communicate clearly about timelines, blockers, and ideas. Requirements Proven experience editing both long-form and short-form video content. Comfortable using AI and new creative tools to work faster and smarter. Strong sense of pacing, storytelling, hooks, and platform trends. Able to take loose instructions/briefs and figure out the details to finish the project. Basic understanding of sound balancing, color tweaks, and export settings. High attention to detail (captions, spelling, cuts, timing). Ability to work in a fast-paced environment and meet tight deadlines. Available daily between 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM MST. (must) Team player with great communication skills. Nice to Have Experience creating YouTube thumbnails and cover graphics. Familiarity with social media trends and what makes content perform on Reels/TikTok/Shorts. Experience with project management platforms (e.g., Monday.com, Trello). Comfort working with multiple brands and content styles.
