Freelance Video & Content Editor
100% Remote | Flexible Hours (Work Anytime, Anywhere)
Are you a creative short-form video editor who knows how to craft viral hooks, sharp pacing, and clean captions? We are looking for a reliable, independent editor to help build a growing social media brand for a New Zealand Travel Guidebook (specifically targeting Malaysian and Singaporean travelers)!
Experience Level: Beginners and fresh talent are welcome! We do not focus on years of experience—as long as your editing style matches our brand vibe and long-term focus, we are happy to hire you!

Monthly Rhythm and Workload:
- Weeks 1 to 3 (Production): Deliver 6 to 7 items per week, edited on your own schedule.

Full Flexibility: Work whenever and wherever you want in the world, as long as weekly deadlines are met and content stays batched ahead of time.
Compensation, Incentives, and Bonuses
- Monthly Service Retainer: RM400 - RM600 per month (invoiced monthly).
- Performance Bonuses: Cash bonuses of RM30 - RM50 per video when Reels hit engagement milestones (saves, shares, and high views).

Planned Leave Policy
Need time off? No problem! For any planned leave longer than 1 week, simply give 30 days' advance notice and batch the required posts prior to taking leave so your monthly retainer remains fully paid while you enjoy your break.

- Proficiency in Editing Software: Comfortable using CapCut, Premiere Pro, or Final Cut Pro.
