Video Editor Wanted: Podcast and Social Media Content

About Me

I am a property investor, developer, and business strategist based in Edinburgh. I host a video podcast called Profits and Parenting, aimed at ambitious business owners who are building wealth without sacrificing family life. I also create broader business and investment content for social media across Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube.

What I Need

I am looking for a reliable video editor to handle two types of work on an ongoing basis:

Full podcast episode edits: Recorded video podcast, typically 30 to 60 minutes. Needs clean cutting, audio balancing, intro and outro, captions, and basic graphics where appropriate.

Short-form social clips: Pulling the best 60 to 90 second moments from longer recordings and formatting them for Instagram Reels, LinkedIn, and YouTube Shorts. Vertical 9:16 format, captions burned in, punchy editing for retention.

Style and Tone

The content is professional but human. Think sharp and modern without being gimmicky. The target audience is business owners and investors, so the edit should feel credible and polished rather than flashy.

Key things I want:
- Punchy cuts and good pacing to keep attention
- Clean captions, well placed and readable
- Zoom cuts and punch-ins where they add energy
- Consistent style across episodes so the brand looks intentional

Volume and Timeline

Initially 2 to 4 podcast episodes, with 4 edited for launch date. Turnaround of 5 to 7 days per episode is ideal. I am looking for an ongoing working relationship with the right person, not a one-off.

What I Am Looking For

- Portfolio showing video podcast or video edits specifically
- Experience creating short-form clips optimised for social media
- Good communicator who can work independently without handholding
- Consistent and reliable on deadlines

How to Apply

Send a short message with a link to 2 or 3 examples of relevant past work. Please include your pricing structure for the two types of work described above.

To shortlist candidates, I will be paying for a test edit using the same raw clip sent to each applicant.
