Short-Form Video Editor - TikTok, LinkedIn & Instagram

We are looking for a talented, reliable short-form video editor to work with us on an ongoing basis, creating social content for the founder of an established international luxury real estate business.

This is not traditional corporate video editing.

We are developing a personality-led social presence focused on TikTok and LinkedIn, built around expert opinion, property, business insight, storytelling and nearly five decades of experience in the luxury real estate industry.

What we need:
We will provide professionally filmed or high-quality raw footage, typically including:
Interview-style conversations
Off-camera questions and answers
Direct-to-camera commentary
Property walkthroughs
Reactions to property and market news
Longer conversations from which multiple short-form videos can be extracted

We need an editor who can turn this footage into engaging, polished short-form content, generally between 30 and 90 seconds.

You should be confident identifying the strongest hook within raw footage rather than simply editing clips in chronological order.

The editing style:
We are looking for content that feels:
Premium but social-first
Fast enough to retain attention without feeling frantic
Confident and editorial
Natural and personality-led
Clean rather than over-produced

Think strong opening hooks, intelligent cuts, excellent subtitles, subtle punch-ins, relevant B-roll and graphics where they genuinely add value.

We do not want excessive transitions, emojis, gimmicky effects, meme editing or content that feels like someone is trying too hard to “do TikTok”.

The personality and expertise of the speaker should remain the focus.

Volume:
This will be an ongoing requirement and potentially a significant volume of content.

We envisage initially producing approximately 12–20 finished short-form videos per month, with the potential to increase this.

Speed and consistency are therefore important.

We would ideally like to work with someone who can turn around batches of content efficiently rather than treating every 45-second video as a standalone production project.

What we are looking for - You should have demonstrable experience editing:

TikTok
Instagram Reels
YouTube Shorts
Founder-led or personality-led content
Interview/podcast content
Business, property, luxury or expert-led content

Experience editing premium brands is useful, but understanding what makes people continue watching a short-form video is more important.

You must have excellent written English, as accurate and well-presented subtitles are essential.

Our aim is to create a straightforward ongoing workflow:

Raw footage → selects/hooks → edit → review → revisions → final exports

We are open to discussing the best workflow with the right editor, particularly if you have experience handling high-volume social content.

Paid trial:
We intend to shortlist a small number of editors and commission a paid trial edit using the same piece of raw footage.

This will allow us to assess editing judgement, pacing, caption treatment and how well you understand the brief.

To apply - Please send:

Three examples of short-form videos you have personally edited that are closest to this brief. Please do not send a general showreel.
A short explanation of why you chose those three examples.
Your typical turnaround time for a batch of five short-form videos.
How many short-form videos you could realistically edit for us each month.
Your price for:
One video
A batch of five videos
12 videos per month
20 videos per month
What is included in that price, including number of revisions.
Which editing software you use.
Whether you are comfortable working from a brand style guide and creating a consistent subtitle/graphics template.

Please start your response with the words “GH EDITOR” so we know you have read the full brief.

We are looking for someone we can build a long-term relationship with rather than commissioning one-off edits.
