• Editing podcast clips, ads, and other short-form content (Reels, TikToks, Shorts) with a focus on hooks, storytelling, pacing, and retention
• Publishing what you edit yourself and owning how it performs once it's live, not just views and retention, but how it converts into leads and revenue

• Familiarity with the metrics that drive performance (watch time, CTR, conversion rate) and a portfolio or reel that shows it
• An ownership mindset and a growth mindset: you follow through on results, test relentlessly, and keep leveling up your craft

Requirements

• Haven't edited for a large or fast-growing short-form account or content creator
• Don't have retention-driven, revenue-generating examples in your portfolio
• Struggle with feedback or fast-paced iteration
• Can't reliably work Austin, TX hours (9am–5pm CT), Monday through Friday

Benefits
