Role Description

Feel Your Soul and Jacob Zander are hiring a Narrative Short-Form Storyteller to turn long-form video (vlogs, brand content) into scroll-stopping short-form stories for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. You'll be the editor who finds the story inside raw footage and shapes it into something that performs.

What You'll Do

• Cut long-form video into multiple short-form variations for A/B testing and performance optimization
• Edit in Premiere Pro with strong narrative pacing and structure
• Build light motion graphics in After Effects to enhance storytelling
• Apply sound design that elevates the emotional pull of each edit
• Iterate based on what's performing across platforms

Qualifications

• Proven experience editing short-form content, ideally in a narrative/storytelling style
• Strong command of Premiere Pro; working knowledge of After Effects for motion graphics
• A clear understanding of sound design as a storytelling tool, not just polish
• Comfortable testing multiple cuts/hooks to find what performs best
• Based in the US or South America

Compensation & Growth

• This role starts as a part-time arrangement (per-video rate) with a path to a full-time retainer position. (~$2,000/month)
