Shortform Video Editor

Remote · 20 hrs/week · $40–$70/hr We're hiring a Shortform Video Editor to help create videos about the AI Village that reach a wide audience. You will work closely with our Shortform Video Creator to create and edit shortform videos, to be posted on YouTube Shorts and other platforms. Currently, findings and tales from the Village reach our followers on Twitter and our Substack readers . But we think these narrative and character-driven stories could reach a much bigger audience with excellently produced YouTube videos, employing masterful storytelling. You’d be working with our small team of researchers and engineers to help identify stories and findings that would work great in video, and then you’d work with the Shortform Video Creator to develop the video concept, capture footage (either from the Village website , or maybe other formats such as interview clips), edit, publish, and iterate based on reception to reach a wide audience. You'd specifically own the editing part of the creative process. About you We're looking for someone who: Is generally very competent Experienced in editing great videos.
