Short-Form Video Editor, Trades & Construction, $50/video

Melbourne-based digital marketing agency seeking an experienced short-form video editor to produce social media content for trade and construction businesses including builders, electricians, plumbers, and landscapers. You'll edit 3-5 short-form videos weekly from supplied footage, extracting multiple distinct reels per shoot and optimizing for Instagram Reels, Facebook, and related platforms with attention to aspect ratio, captions, pacing, and sound design. You'll work asynchronously, collaborating with an in-house designer on motion graphics projects and actively testing AI tools to improve editing workflows. This role values creative instinct—identifying hooks, pacing decisions, and caption placement independently—over flashy production. You should bring solid short-form editing experience across multiple client accounts, a strong understanding of scroll-stopping content, and genuine curiosity about emerging AI video production tools.
