Video Editor (Short-Form + Explainers)

About buzzabout

We’re an AI-driven social media insights tool that extracts real-time signals from billions of conversations across Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and X. Strategy teams use buzzabout to turn noise into insight—and ship content that actually resonates.
We already have 10,000+ users and well-known brands on board. Now we’re leveling up our video game.

The role

You’ll turn raw ideas, scripts, and datasets into scroll-stopping videos for TikTok, YouTube (shorts + long-form explainers), LinkedIn clips, and product education. You’re fast, AI-native, and comfortable wearing mini-producer, editor, and motion designer hats.

What you’ll do

• Edit short-form (15–90s) TikToks/Reels/Shorts with strong hooks, captions, and pacing.
• Cut long-form (3–8 min) explainers, product walkthroughs, and customer stories.
• Post-production: color, audio cleanup, music/SFX, subtitles, thumbnail variants, platform exports.
• Motion & simple animation: lower thirds, kinetic text, UI overlays, simple product motion.
• AI-native workflows: speed up editing with AI tools (speech cleanup, transcript-driven edits, style transfers, b-roll generation where appropriate).
• Packaging for distribution: titles, chaptering, end screens, aspect ratios, and metadata best practices.
• Content repurposing: turn one flagship asset into multiple cuts for different channels.
• Collab: work with our Content Marketer and Founder to test angles, hooks, and story beats.
• Light asset management: maintain project files, templates, LUTs, and a shared b-roll library.
• Quality + speed: ship fast, iterate faster—optimize for watch time, retention, and CTR.

Nice-to-have (not required)

• On-camera comfort for quick founder-style pickups or voiceovers.
• Basic design (Figma/Canva) for thumbnails and YouTube covers.
• Experience with product/UI animation (Figma → After Effects, or screen-record + polish).
• Understanding of creator analytics (audience retention curves, A/B thumbnails).

Tools you know (or learn fast)

Premiere Pro / Final Cut / DaVinci Resolve; After Effects / Motion; Descript/Captions; CapCut; Runway, Topaz, ElevenLabs, Whisper, AutoSub or similar; Loom, Figma, Notion, Google Drive.

You’ll thrive here if you…

• Think like a creator: hook first, story second, polish third.
• Are AI-curious and love shaving hours off repetitive tasks.
• Move quickly, give/receive feedback well, and care about the details (audio levels, pacing, legibility).

Requirements

• 2+ years editing for TikTok/Reels/Shorts and YouTube (agency, brand, or creator).
• A portfolio/reel with at least 5 relevant pieces (shorts + one explainer).
• Comfortable with captions, punch-ins, meme cuts, and tight pacing for mobile.
• Solid fundamentals: audio mix, color balance, export specs, and clean file/org discipline.
• Business-hours overlap with CET/Lisbon for async reviews.

Our promise

• Impact from day one: your edits become the public face of a product used by 10,000+ people.
• Room to experiment: we test angles weekly—your ideas won’t sit in a backlog.
• Upside: part-time now, option to increase hours or go full-time; stock options on the table.
