Short-Form Video Editor, Food/Lifestyle, $100/Video

We are seeking an experienced short-form video editor to join a growing content operation for a restaurant group founder's personal brand. This is an ongoing, long-term position for a single editor who will serve as a consistent teammate. You will edit vertical short-form content (Reels and TikTok) from raw footage with a 24-hour turnaround time, working at high volume. Your editing style must be modern and current, featuring speed ramps, seamless creative transitions, beat-matched cuts, punch-ins, kinetic text, and clean sound design. The work should feel native to today's social feeds and preserve the personality and humor of unscripted content rather than flattening it. You must have a strong short-form portfolio, ideally with experience in food, hospitality, or personality-driven brands. You should be comfortable taking creative direction, iterating on feedback independently, and working reliably under tight deadlines. The first project involves editing a 30-60 second reel with an elegant, fun "princess tea time" aesthetic. Successful completion may lead to additional projects.
