Short-Form and Long-Form Video Editor — Instagram & YouTube (Part-Time, Long-Term)

Hi — I’m Siobhan, founder of Envision Coaching, a women’s coaching business based in the UK. We work with women to help them permanently transform their bodies, build their confidence, and make incredible change in all areas of life.

I’m looking for a skilled, reliable video editor to join the team on a part-time, long-term basis. This is a role for someone who takes pride in their work, communicates well, and can deliver consistently without constant supervision.

THE CONTENT
You’ll be editing both short-form and long-form content. Short-form content is primarily purposed for Instagram Reels featuring me, my coaching team, clients, and events. The content typically comprises the following:

Talking-head style – Think: punchy hooks, tight cuts, on-screen captions, and editing that keeps viewers watching. This is personal brand and coaching content, not corporate or generic. Since raw content is performing well right now, we are not looking for flashy effects — we are looking for clean, intentional editing that serves the message. Almost like I could have edited it myself.

“Kitchen” reels – Me talking to camera, similar to the above but often using props. This content is typically more educational.

Promotional content – Typically to promote events that we hold periodically throughout the year. This might be a highlight of an event or photoshoot, or an announcement reel for a speaker at an upcoming event, for example.

Client interviews – Raw recordings from Zoom will be provided. It will be your job to edit the long-form version for trainings and YouTube, and take soundbites for short-form content on Instagram.

Other long-form content – VSLs for sales pages, training video edits, and occasional YouTube videos.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING
- Editing raw talking-head footage into polished Instagram Reels (typically 30–90 seconds)
- Editing long-form Zoom recordings into clean training videos and YouTube content
- Pulling soundbites from long-form interviews for short-form Instagram use
- Editing VSLs, promotional content, and event highlight reels
- Adding on-screen captions/subtitles — accurate, well-styled, and on-brand
- Trimming for pace and retention — tight edits, no dead air
- Adding simple B-roll, transitions, or text overlays where appropriate
- Receiving raw footage and a brief via Google Drive and returning edited files to the same location
- Meeting agreed turnaround times consistently
- Communicating proactively if anything is unclear or delayed

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
- Proven experience editing both short-form content for Instagram or TikTok and long-form content for YouTube or similar platforms
- Strong understanding of retention-based editing — hooks, pacing, captioning
- Experience editing Zoom recordings or interview-style footage
- Proficient in CapCut, Premiere Pro, or similar editing software
- Reliable, organised, and self-directed — you don’t need to be chased
- Strong attention to detail in captions and on-screen text
- Comfortable using a time tracker (Hubstaff or equivalent) — this is required
- Good written English for communication purposes

WHAT WE’RE NOT LOOKING FOR
- Heavily effects-driven editing styles — we want clean and punchy, not flashy
- Editors who cannot provide a portfolio that includes real short-form social content
- Anyone who needs constant direction — you should be able to take a brief and run with it

THE ROLE
- Part-time and long-term — this is not a one-off project
- Hourly rate: £15/hr, paid via Wise or equivalent
- Time tracking is required — you will log hours via Hubstaff or agreed equivalent
- Flexible hours — what matters is hitting turnaround deadlines, not being online at set times

HOW TO APPLY
Please include the following in your application — applications without these will not be considered:

- A link to your portfolio showing short-form Instagram or TikTok edits and at least one example of long-form work
- A brief note (3–5 sentences) on your editing approach for short-form content
- The software you primarily edit in
- Your typical turnaround time for a 60–90 second Reel

Start your application with the words ‘I have read the full job post’ so I know you have taken the time to read this carefully. Applications that don’t include this will not be reviewed.
