Job description
About the Role
We are looking for an experienced Social Media Reels Video Editor who knows how to create engaging, high-retention, and viral-style short-form videos for platforms such as Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook.
This is not an entry-level position. We already record the raw footage—you will transform it into compelling content that captures attention within the first few seconds and keeps viewers watching until the end.
Responsibilities
Edit short-form videos for Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook.
Create highly engaging edits with strong hooks, smooth pacing, captions, transitions, sound effects, and motion graphics.
Understand current social media trends and incorporate them where appropriate.
Add B-roll, animations, zooms, and visual effects to maximize viewer retention.
Optimize videos for each platform's best practices.
Deliver high-quality edits within agreed deadlines.
Collaborate with our content team to continuously improve video performance.
Requirements
Minimum 2 years of proven experience editing short-form social media content.
A strong portfolio showcasing high-quality Reels or viral-style short videos is mandatory. Applications without a portfolio will not be considered.
Excellent understanding of viewer retention, storytelling, pacing, and attention-grabbing editing techniques.
Proficiency in tools such as Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, or equivalent professional editing software.
Experience creating animated captions, motion graphics, and engaging visual effects.
Ability to work independently and meet deadlines in a remote environment.
Strong communication skills in English.
Nice to Have
Experience working with business, educational, or entrepreneurship content.
Basic knowledge of thumbnail design and social media optimization.
Experience analyzing video performance and improving edits based on engagement metrics.
What We Provide
Recorded raw footage.
Content direction and creative brief.
Long-term remote opportunity with consistent work for the right candidate.
Opportunity to work on content viewed by a large audience.
Location
Remote (Work from anywhere)
How to Apply
Please send:
Your updated CV.
Links to your best Reels, Shorts, or TikTok edits (portfolio is required).
A brief introduction about your experience.
Your expected monthly salary or per-video rate.
Important: This role is for experienced editors only. Freshers and applicants without a relevant portfolio will not be considered.

Prepare your application
Use the description above to assess your fit for Sohoby. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.
Match requirements to evidence
Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.
Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.
Check the working arrangement
Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.
Review before submitting
Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.
Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.
Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
