Content Creator/Video Editor

Operations Media | Senior Short-Form Video Editor (U.S. Based Only)

Location: Remote (United States Only)
Compensation: $25–30 per video (based on experience and demonstrated skill)

We're Not Looking for Video Editors.

We're looking for content creators who edit.

People who understand that editing isn't just cutting clips together, it's storytelling, psychology, and knowing exactly what makes someone stop scrolling.

At Operations Media, we work primarily with founders, CEOs, entrepreneurs, and medical practices. Our clients trust us with their brand, reputation, and voice. We don't create generic social media content, we create videos that generate attention, build authority, and convert viewers into customers.

This is not an entry-level role.

This is not a position where you'll learn on the job.

We're building a team of elite editors who can take hours of raw footage and consistently find the moments that matter.

What You'll Do

You'll receive long-form recordings, podcasts, interviews, and founder content.

Your job is to:

• Find the moments worth watching.
• Build irresistible hooks that stop the scroll.
• Create engaging short-form videos that maximize retention.
• Edit for LinkedIn, Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Meta.
• Maintain each founder's authentic voice while making content perform.
• Deliver polished edits that are ready to publish.

What We're Looking For

• U.S.-based applicants only.
• Fluent English (spoken and written).
• Proven experience editing high-performing short-form content.
• Ability to watch long-form footage and instantly recognize high-retention moments.
• Deep understanding of audience psychology and retention.
• Exceptional hook writing and opening sequence creation.
• Strong pacing, storytelling, and visual timing.
• Experience editing for LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook.
• Ability to work independently with minimal direction.
• Reliability and consistent turnaround times.
• Strong attention to detail and pride in your work.

Bonus Points

• Experience working with founders, entrepreneurs, coaches, agencies, or medical brands.
• Understanding of paid social content and Meta ads.
• Ability to recommend stronger hooks, captions, and creative direction—not just execute edits.
• Basic motion graphics and text animation experience.

What We're NOT Looking For

• Beginner or junior editors.
• Editors who rely only on templates and trends.
• People who simply cut from the beginning of a video to the end.
• Editors who over-edit and sacrifice authenticity.
• Anyone who needs constant coaching or hand-holding.
• Agencies or freelancers who outsource projects to other editors.
• Editors who plan to hand our client work off to a team.

We hire individuals because our clients deserve consistency.

Who Thrives Here

You might be a great fit if you:

• Obsess over storytelling.
• Think like a content strategist, not just an editor.
• Care about retention more than flashy effects.
• Love finding "the moment" hidden deep inside long recordings.
• Take ownership of your work.
• Hold yourself to a high standard without being asked.

Hiring Process

If your experience aligns with what we're looking for, we'll invite you to complete a test edit using real client footage.

We're looking for editors who consistently find the strongest hooks, tell compelling stories, and create content that people actually watch, not just content that looks good.

If that sounds like you, we'd love to see your work.
