Short-Form Video Editor (Remote)

Job Overview

Founder OS helps 5,000+ founders build personal brands and businesses that run without them. Our founder, Matt Gray, reaches millions of entrepreneurs every month across LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, X, TikTok and Threads.

Social isn't a side channel for us — it's the front door to everything we do. We publish daily, and short-form is what brings people through that door.

We're hiring one editor to own it.

Responsibilities

1. Cut ~20 trending-template reels a month. Cinematic, b-roll driven reels rebuilt from reference outliers we hand you. Not copies — same structure, our footage, our brand. You own the music, the text treatment, the pacing, and sometimes voiceovers from Matt.

• Original Cinematic Reel Example
• Trending Reel Cinematic Example
  

2. Cut ~16 split-screen talking heads a month. Matt's scripted reels. Footage, script and on-screen copy arrive in Asana. You own the cut, the rhythm and the motion on top.

• Example 1, Example 2 

3. Build paid ad sets when they come up — one body plus three hook variants. Most assets are supplied to you.
4. Work in batches. A full week of content delivered ahead beats two videos a day, forever.
5. Keep the system clean. Asana stays current, Frame.io versions stay tidy, delivery lands in the marketing ops channel.

Qualifications

1. Motion and animation work that people notice. This is the single biggest reason we'd hire you. Volume we can solve internally. Polish and taste we can't.
2. Premiere Pro for editing, After Effects for animation. Both, fluently.
3. You can watch a reference reel and rebuild it in our brand without it reading as a knockoff.
4. You communicate. If you're blocked, short on assets, or the calendar's looking thin, you say so the same day. This is not a nice-to-have — it's the reason this seat is open.
5. Curious about AI-assisted editing. It's part of the workflow here. You don't need to arrive with it; we'll train you on ours.

Strong motion design, Premiere Pro and After Effects proficiency, and same-day communication are required.

How we work

• Premiere Pro for editing and using our brand templates/assets.
• After Effects for animation.
• Asana is the source of truth. Every video is a task with format type, footage, on-screen copy, review stage and post date. Nothing lives in DMs.
• Frame.io for review — V1, V2, V3. Notes come back in one pass, not in dribs.
• Slack for day-to-day, marketing ops channel for delivery.
• One point of contact: me (Memo, Head of Video). No committee, no chasing three people for an answer.
• AI-assisted editing is part of the workflow. We'll train you on ours.

The setup

• Fully remote. Work your hours; the batch lands on time.
• This is a long-term seat. We want someone who grows into owning the format, not a task-taker.
• Scope, volume and commercials we work out together with the right person.

How to apply

Send:

1. Impress us with a reel and share your best 3–5 examples — short-form only, ideally a mix of talking head and cinematic
2. A Loom why you’re the best fit for this position.
3. Your realistic monthly capacity so we can align.

If it's a fit, we'll hop on a call.
